omvattenSDWAN

omvattenSDWAN is a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) platform developed by Omvatten. It provides centralized management, policy-driven routing, and application-aware networking to interconnect multiple branch offices, data centers, and cloud environments over a mix of transport networks such as broadband, LTE/5G, and MPLS. The goal is to simplify WAN operations, improve performance for cloud-based applications, and reduce overall connectivity costs.

The architecture typically consists of a centralized orchestrator, edge devices at each site, and optional virtual appliances in public or private clouds. The data plane forms an overlay network with secure tunnels (for example IPsec or VXLAN) and supports dynamic path selection, QoS, and fast failover. Zero-touch provisioning enables rapid site onboarding.

Security and management features commonly include integrated firewalling, encryption for data in transit, segmentation between tenants or departments, and telemetry for performance monitoring. The platform emphasizes API access for integration with orchestration, IT service management, and security tools, and provides analytics dashboards.

Deployment scenarios range from distributed enterprise networks with many small sites to cloud-centric architectures with hybrid connectivity. Providers typically offer on-premises or virtual edge appliances, cloud-hosted controllers, and subscription-based pricing with per-site or per-user tiers, along with professional services for migration and optimization.
