Open Systems SD-WAN
Zürich, Switzerland
What it is
Open Systems SD-WAN is a cloud service for enterprises with global operations that depend on cloud and mobile connectivity. It prioritizes business-critical applications and uses available bandwidth through application-level routing policies, load balancing, and configurable fallback order when links degrade or fail. Bandwidth can be governed by application, location, and connection. Application Optimization uses caching, compression, and protocol optimization to reduce bandwidth demand and improve application performance. Traffic between sites is automatically encrypted and authenticated across public or private networks, including internet and MPLS. A single-pass architecture decrypts and analyzes VPN traffic for application visibility and consumption trends. The service includes integrated security and cloud on-ramps. Open Systems says AI-run automation and Level-3 engineers operate network and security operations. Access is available through web and API interfaces. The REST API uses HTTPS and JSON, follows OpenAPI 3.1, and uses bearer tokens expiring after 12 hours. Pricing is available on request.
