Private WAN for large enterprises

Build a private WAN for digital transformation and the enterprise cloud

How to buy

Nokia private WAN solutions let you harness the power of digital transformation by moving to cloud-based IT models and embracing digital tools such as social, mobility, analytics, and the internet of things (IoT).

Use our scalable, reliable and secure IP/optical networking solutions to connect your large sites and data centers in a private/hybrid cloud using Ethernet, dark fiber, or wavelengths instead of inflexible WAN services.

Connect your small branch sites to your private/hybrid cloud efficiently and cost-effectively with our agile, flexible and virtualized SD-WAN solutions using any mix of fixed or mobile broadband service instead of costly leased lines.

With integrated network and service management that leverages carrier SDN technology, you can increase efficiency and reduce OPEX by managing multiple network layers and end-to-end applications and services.

Highlights

The Nokia private WAN solution provides key features and capabilities to enable digital transformation and the move to cloud IT with confidence:

Scalable, flexible, reliable bandwidth, with the ability to scale bandwidth up or down across multiple network domains, depending on individual application requirements.
Agile, dynamic provisioning and orchestration of network resources across multiple enterprise sites ― and potentially across multiple clouds and cloud providers.

Traffic engineering for different enterprise applications, services and data to ensures the right priority and QoS, as well as resiliency and failover mechanisms in the event of link or network failure.
Advanced network services to enable convergence of new IP-based data intensive enterprise applications that require flexible bandwidth, in addition to legacy TDM-based applications, on a common IP infrastructure.

Application-aware networking that adjusts bandwidth and QoS automatically to application type and new cloud usage patterns with no compromise on application scale or performance.
Defense-in-depth security framework enabled by a multi-layer security approach to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of sensitive business data flowing across the network between different enterprise sites and cloud types.

Service level agreement (SLA) monitoring that cover enterprise application requirements, such as availability and QoS, as well as normal network metrics, such as uptime and latency.
Real-time analytics and reporting of network, service, and application performance easily and quickly, in depth and in real time, so that resources can be adjusted automatically to changing user demands.

Build a private optical network to provide very high-speed, secure transport among major sites and data centers to form the foundation of a private or hybrid cloud.

Use managed IP/MPLS VPN or cloud connect services to connect larger remote enterprise sites to the cloud where cost/performance is justified or where changes are less frequent and more predictable.

Implement integrated, end-to-end WAN management and adopt and migrate to SDN-based orchestration and automation of network and IT resources for a dynamic, flexible and agile cloud.

Implement a private IP/MPLS core to provide reliable connectivity among major sites and data centers, separate enterprise applications in the private cloud, and to connect to hybrid cloud resources.

Deploy SD-WAN access to provide more agile and flexible connectivity to the cloud for smaller remote enterprise sites, or where changes are more frequent and unpredictable.

Implement a WAN support strategy for the cloud that embraces both network and IT support, either in-house or by leveraging Nokia professional services.
