Site-to-site
Frame office, retail, plant or remote-site connectivity with primary and backup access constraints.
SD-WAN planning and assessment
SD-WAN Planning for Branches, Clouds and Applications
Turn paths between global branches, clouds, applications and China into a network requirement with defined technical, delivery and operational boundaries.
Distributed network use cases
A route plan for distributed work.
SD-WAN requirements vary by site, underlay, cloud, application and operational responsibility.
Hybrid paths
Map cloud regions, data centers, shared services and security insertion points.
SaaS and China
Identify critical applications and cross-border user paths before discussing optimization.
Readiness assessment
Map six dimensions.
An SD-WAN proposal requires more than a site count. These inputs expose technical dependencies and the service boundary.
Start the Assessment- Sites
- Locations, user counts, site roles and opening or migration sequence.
- Underlay
- Existing internet, MPLS, broadband, cellular or other access at each site.
- Destinations
- Cloud regions, data centers, SaaS platforms and China-facing applications.
- Traffic
- Critical applications, performance symptoms, peak usage and failover expectations.
- Security
- Segmentation, firewall, identity, inspection and logging responsibilities.
- Operations
- Monitoring, change, incident, reporting, escalation and acceptance criteria.
Planning path
Discover before designing.
Sales and technical review turn the site and application brief into a defined target state, responsibility model and planning output.
Scope
Planning output- Recommended workstreams
- Ownership options
- Dependencies
- Acceptance criteria
Cidriva's current SD-WAN scope is planning and assessment. Deployment, monitoring, incident response and ongoing change management are not included in this service.
SD-WAN FAQ
Before the assessment.
How is SD-WAN scoped?
The current service covers planning and assessment across sites, links, clouds, applications and responsibility boundaries. It is not a managed operations service.
How are China-facing paths handled?
Describe China-facing or China-based paths in the assessment. Compare the location and delivery options in our China connectivity solutions guide; the proposal then records the qualified route, upstream and policy model.
What does the assessment produce?
Technical discovery produces a target-state planning brief, dependencies, responsibility boundaries and acceptance criteria.
Make every site part of one brief.
