California Telecom SD-WAN
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used CalTel's SD-WAN as our Firewall and Internet Router.
CalTel replaced Windstream. The main issue we had with Windstream was both their unreliable service (we had a outage at a site every month) and unhelpful support (we would know more of the problem and what the problem was before Windstreams support).
Since we migrated to CalTel, all our sites have internet redundancy to prevent outages, more proactive on maintenance and preventative maintenance, and knowledgeable support.
Pros
- Inovative infratructure for scalability and realiability.
- More cost-effective from service to support
- Proactive monitoring
- Knowledgeable engineers
- Seemless implementation
Cons
- Jim G. works well with executive staff in discovering ways to meet requirement, implement a more scalable technology, while still being cost-effective. Jim will need to replicate himself in order to be able to have others to do this type of work instead.
Likelihood to Recommend
CalTel SD-WAN platform is well suited for organization that are looking for scalability but in a cost-effective way. CalTel SD-WAN platform is also suited for organization who do not want to use their internal resource managing this system.
