SD-WAN networking has become a popular choice for many foreign trade enterprises and multinational companies due to its ability to integrate existing network infrastructure investments and flexibly and securely support remote office work and access to overseas websites. But with a variety of SD-WAN service providers in the market, how do enterprises choose the best one for their needs?

Firstly, let’s delve into what SD-WAN networking actually is. SD-WAN is primarily used for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communications, addressing issues such as data transmission, CRM, email, video conferencing, and real-time voice communication between headquarters and branch offices. If foreign trade enterprises or multinational companies experience sluggish performance when accessing internal ERP and OA systems overseas or encounter difficulties in conducting smooth audio and video conferences, SD-WAN could be the solution.

SD-WAN service providers can be broadly categorized into several types: those who are full-service licensed basic operators, third-party operators with excellent network quality and operational capabilities, service providers with certain resources and service capabilities, and foreign operators offering services in China through reselling.

Choosing the right SD-WAN service provider requires a comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. Firstly, the coverage of resources is a crucial indicator of a service provider’s strength. A service provider should possess extensive network coverage capabilities to ensure stable and efficient network connections globally. Secondly, operational capabilities are also paramount. A reliable service provider should have a professional operational team and efficient fault handling abilities to ensure the stability and security of network operations. Lastly, enterprises need to make selections based on their specific needs and budget ranges to ensure a cost-effective service.

It is generally advisable for enterprises to steer clear of basic operators’ SD-WAN networking services. When involved in regional communications, basic operators often have limited operational capabilities, resulting in lower efficiency when handling network failures. Additionally, factors such as monopolies can hamper the achievement of full-point networking during the construction process.
