SD-WANFOR SMALL BUSINESS

Internet that stays on regardless of which ISP is having a bad day. Multi-carrier failover, branch office connectivity, intelligent traffic routing, and Starlink integration — all managed from a single pane of glass. Enterprise-grade WAN architecture sized for Texas small businesses.

Objective // What We Build

NETWORKS THAT
DON'T FAIL
WHEN ISPs DO.

Most small businesses are one ISP outage away from a full stop. SD-WAN changes that equation. With two internet connections managed by a single intelligent policy engine, your business keeps running even when your primary provider goes dark.

Vaelance deploys and configures SD-WAN for single-site failover and multi-location branch connectivity — with Starlink integration for sites where traditional redundancy is not available. Every deployment is documented, tested, and handed off with a full runbook.

// 01 — MOST CRITICAL
Multi-Carrier Failover

Two internet connections — fiber, cable, LTE, or Starlink — managed by SD-WAN so that when one fails, traffic instantly shifts to the other. No manual intervention, no rebooting a router, no waiting on hold with your ISP while employees sit idle. Automatic, tested, and documented.

Zero-Downtime Failover

Branch Office Connectivity

Multiple Texas locations connected with consistent policy, shared security posture, and centralized visibility from a single management dashboard. Sales offices, warehouses, retail locations, and remote branches — all operating as a unified network with the same rules and visibility as headquarters.

QoS & Traffic Prioritization

Voice, video, and business-critical applications get priority bandwidth regardless of what else is happening on the connection. A staff member streaming video does not kill your executive's Zoom call. QoS policies are configured per application class and enforced across all WAN connections simultaneously.

Centralized Management

One dashboard to see every site, every connection, every device. Traffic analytics, uptime history, bandwidth utilization, and policy status — all visible from a single pane of glass. Changes to network policy roll out to all sites simultaneously without touching physical hardware at each location.

Starlink Integration

Starlink connects directly into SD-WAN as a primary or backup WAN connection. For remote Texas sites without fiber options, Starlink plus SD-WAN provides enterprise-grade connectivity management at remote locations — with the same policies and visibility as every other site on the network.

Security Integration

SD-WAN with next-generation firewall capabilities — application-aware routing, content filtering, intrusion prevention, and encrypted tunnels between sites. For businesses with compliance requirements, SD-WAN integrated with NGFW provides the network segmentation and audit trail that assessors look for.

Intel // Why SD-WAN

THE CASE FOR
REDUNDANCY

// 01

Every ISP Goes Down Eventually

Fiber gets cut during construction. Cable modems fail on Friday afternoons. Storm damage takes out local infrastructure for hours or days. If your business has a single internet connection, you have a single point of failure. SD-WAN eliminates that with automatic failover that requires zero manual intervention.

// 02

Multi-Site Without the MPLS Bill

Traditional MPLS circuits connecting branch offices cost $500–$2,000 per month per site and take months to provision. SD-WAN over standard internet connections provides the same connectivity — often with better performance — at a fraction of the cost, without the multi-year service contracts.

// 03

One Platform. Every Site. Zero Guesswork.

With cloud-managed SD-WAN, every location appears in a single dashboard. Network policy is configured once and applied everywhere. When something changes — a new application, a new security rule, a new site — it propagates automatically. No more driving to branch offices to update router configs.

// 04

VoIP and Video That Actually Works

SD-WAN intelligently routes voice and video traffic over the best available path in real time. If your primary connection develops packet loss or jitter, calls automatically shift to the cleaner path. QoS enforcement means your phone system and video conferences get the bandwidth they need regardless of what else is running on the network.

Intel // Common Questions

SD-WAN
QUESTIONS

SD-WAN manages multiple internet connections intelligently — routing traffic based on application type, connection quality, and availability. Small businesses need it when they have multiple locations, when internet reliability is critical, or when they want automatic failover. If your business stops when the internet goes down, SD-WAN is worth the conversation.
MPLS circuits for equivalent connectivity cost $500–$2,000/site/month with 90-day provisioning times. SD-WAN setup for a single site typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,500 depending on hardware requirements and routing policy complexity. Ongoing management is handled through a monthly platform subscription. Vaelance provides a written flat-rate quote before any work begins.
Yes — Starlink integrates cleanly with SD-WAN platforms as a primary or secondary WAN connection. We regularly deploy Starlink plus SD-WAN for remote sites and branch offices in Texas where fiber is unavailable. Same policies, same visibility, same failover behavior as a fiber-connected site.
We work with Cisco Meraki (cloud-managed, excellent for multi-site), Fortinet FortiGate (strong security integration, NGFW capabilities), Palo Alto Prisma SD-WAN (enterprise-grade for compliance environments), and Aruba EdgeConnect. The right platform depends on your existing infrastructure, budget, and requirements.
Yes — this is exactly what SD-WAN is built for. With two connections at a site (fiber plus Starlink, fiber plus LTE), SD-WAN monitors both in real time and automatically fails over to the healthy connection if the primary degrades or fails. Users experience no interruption; applications keep running without anyone noticing.
No. A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel for secure remote access. SD-WAN is broader architecture that manages how multiple WAN connections are used across locations — with intelligent routing, QoS, and centralized management. Many SD-WAN platforms include VPN functionality as part of their feature set.
A single-site SD-WAN deployment typically takes one day for hardware installation and configuration. Multi-site deployments are scoped based on the number of locations, complexity, and whether existing infrastructure needs modification. Vaelance provides a detailed project plan and timeline before work begins.
SD-WAN with NGFW integration provides the network segmentation, traffic visibility, and audit logging that compliance frameworks like CMMC and NIST 800-171 require. Encrypted site-to-site tunnels, application-aware filtering, and centralized log management are all relevant to defense contractor and government-adjacent compliance requirements.
