What Open Systems SD-WAN 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 while using available bandwidth. Application-level policies select paths, balance connections, and define 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 per-application visibility and consumption trends. The vendor describes AI-run automation and Level-3 engineers operating network and security operations. Integrations include SAML, SCIM, OIDC, SIEM export, Logs API, REST, and ticketing APIs; Terraform is marked coming soon. The public REST API uses HTTPS, JSON, OpenAPI 3.1, and bearer tokens expiring after 12 hours. Pricing is available on request.
