BUI Managed Azure vWAN with VMware SD-WAN offers a modern networking solution that is easy to deploy, use, and manage. It offers high availability, integrated security, enterprise-grade performance and automatic scaling to maximize the value of moving to the cloud. Solve branch network stability, elasticity, security and accessibility concerns through a well defined and structured approach to branch networking with BUI. BUI Managed Azure vWAN with VMware SD-WAN enables building networks for optimized cloud access by creating a virtual cloud network architecture that connects all branch locations to Azure, thus simplifying branch office connectivity, increases network agility and reduces cost.

Phased Approach

BUI's phased approach to delivering modern cloud based vWAN solutions.

Phase 1: Discovery

Assess the existing landscape to understand the current WAN typology and user landscape, developing the scope through discovery work sessions, considering:

• Resiliency/High Availability
• Security
• Network and Application Performance
• Load Sharing
• Branch Topology

Output: Detailed architecture design, deployment plan and cost proposal.

Phase 2: Enablement

Deployment, configuration and activation of SD-WAN and Azure services as per detailed architecture and design.

• Enabling and configuration of secure Azure landing zone
• Distribution and enablement of SD-WAN at Branches
• Enablement of centralized orchestration and management software

Output: Connected and enabled SD-WAN solution as per detailed design.

Phase 3: Validation and Testing

• Validation and testing of network connectivity, orchestration, performance and reporting.

Output: test results of SD-WAN solution, signed off by the customer.

Phase 4: Managed Services

• Managed Services onboarding to Lighthouse, BUI Cloud Management Portal and BUI Service Desk.
• Provide managed network services including:
• BUI Cloud Managed Platform Portal Access Self Service Azure Cost Management
• Networking Performance Management
• Traffic Monitoring
• Network Alert Monitoring
• Regular Service Feedback & Reporting
• 8x5 Incident Management
• BUI Service Desk
• Unlimited Escalation to Microsoft and VMWare
• 10 hrs / month Network Consulting

Please Note: This plan runs an Azure Resource and Access package, granting BUI delegate access to your Azure subscription via Azure Lighthouse. BUI will initiate contact and schedule the first discovery workshop to finalise network design, architecture, hardware/software, deployment plan and cost proposal.
