THE CHALLENGE

Connecting Multiple Sites Is Not Just About Laying a Link. It Is About Guaranteeing What Travels Across It.

A wide area network is the nervous system of a multi-site enterprise. When it works well, nobody notices. When it fails — or when it is slow, insecure, or unmonitored — every site feels it. Most WAN failures are not caused by bad hardware. They are caused by poor design — insufficient redundancy, no failover testing, traffic that is never analysed, and threats that cross site boundaries undetected.

🔗

Reliable Low-Latency Connectivity Between Sites

Applications that span sites — ERP, VoIP, video conferencing — require consistent, low-latency links that perform under load.

🔒

Secure Site-to-Site Communication

Data crossing the WAN must be encrypted in transit. A branch connecting to HQ over an unsecured link is an open channel to your entire internal network.

🔄

Failover When the Primary Link Drops

A single WAN link is a single point of failure. When it drops, the site goes dark. Failover to a secondary link must be automatic and tested — not assumed.

📈

Visibility Into WAN Performance and Traffic

Without traffic analysis, you cannot see which applications are consuming bandwidth, which sites are degraded, or which traffic patterns indicate a security threat.

💰

Optimising Bandwidth Cost Across Multiple Link Types

MPLS, broadband, 4G, and SD-WAN — each has a role. Combining them correctly reduces cost without compromising performance or security.

OUR SOLUTION

A WAN Designed for Performance, Security, and Visibility — From Edge to Edge.

Layerix designs WAN architecture from first principles — not from a reseller catalogue. We assess your site locations, your traffic profile, your application requirements, and your budget. Then we design the right combination of connectivity, security, and monitoring — and we deploy it entirely in-house. No subcontractors at any site. No gaps between the network design and what is actually installed.

ARCHITECTURE OPTIONS

Which WAN Architecture Is Right for Your Business?

No two businesses have the same WAN requirement. The right architecture depends on your number of sites, traffic profile, latency sensitivity, and budget. Layerix assesses all four before recommending anything.

🏢

Hub-and-Spoke

Most Common

HQ is the central data and application host. All branches connect back to HQ for resources, internet, and communication.

Best for: Retail chains, banks, NBFCs, and enterprises where HQ holds all systems and branches are access points only.

  • HQ core firewall with VPN concentrator
  • Branch firewall with spoke VPN tunnel
  • Centralised internet breakout at HQ
  • All branch traffic routed via HQ
We design hub-and-spoke with failover at every spoke — if the primary link drops, the branch automatically fails over to a secondary connection without manual intervention.
🕸️

Full Mesh

High Performance

Every site needs to communicate directly with every other site — without routing through a central HQ. Used for data centre interconnect, high-frequency inter-site traffic, and latency-sensitive applications.

Best for: Data centres, financial trading environments, multi-HQ enterprises, and organisations with large inter-site file transfer or application replication.

  • Full-mesh VPN between all sites
  • Dynamic routing (BGP / OSPF) across the mesh for automatic path selection
  • Per-site firewall with mesh peering
  • Traffic engineering for optimal pathing
Full mesh complexity scales with the number of sites — 5 sites means 10 VPN tunnels. We design routing protocols to manage this automatically, not through manual configuration that breaks every time a site is added.
☁️

Hybrid WAN

Cost-Optimised

Different traffic types travel on different links — critical application traffic on dedicated circuits (MPLS), general internet on broadband, and 4G as a failover layer. An SD-WAN overlay intelligently routes traffic based on policy.

Best for: Enterprises wanting to reduce MPLS cost without sacrificing performance for critical applications — the most common upgrade path for growing businesses.

  • MPLS for latency-sensitive, business-critical application traffic
  • Broadband for internet and general traffic
  • 4G / 5G as automatic failover
  • SD-WAN policy engine for traffic steering
  • Single management dashboard for all link types
Hybrid WAN requires careful traffic classification — if the wrong traffic goes on the wrong link, you pay MPLS prices for internet traffic and get broadband quality for your ERP. We design the policy before we configure the hardware.

OUR PROCESS

How a WAN Deployment Actually Works — From First Assessment to Every Site Live.

01

WAN Assessment & Traffic Profiling

We assess your current connectivity — link types, bandwidth, latency, and failure history — and profile your traffic to understand which applications are critical, which are bandwidth-heavy, and which are sensitive to packet loss. This data drives the architecture design.

02

Architecture Design & Routing Plan

WAN topology, VPN tunnel design, routing protocol selection (BGP / OSPF / static), failover logic, and traffic engineering policy — all documented before any hardware is ordered or any ISP is engaged.

03

ISP & Circuit Coordination

We work with your ISPs and circuit providers — coordinating WAN circuit provisioning, testing lead times, and handoff specifications — so that when our hardware arrives, the links are ready to terminate.

04

Hardware Deployment at Each Site

Firewalls, routers, switches, and cabling at every site — installed and physically connected by the same Layerix in-house team. No subcontractors at any location.

05

VPN & Routing Configuration

Site-to-site VPN tunnels established, routing protocol configured and converged, failover tested under simulated link failure — before any site goes live.

06

Traffic Visibility & Security Setup

Network Packet Broker configured for traffic analysis, threat intelligence feeds integrated on all site firewalls, and monitoring dashboards configured to show WAN performance across all links.

07

Cutover, Testing & Handover

Each site cut over to the new WAN in a planned sequence — with rollback procedures in place for every cutover step. Full as-built documentation, admin credentials, and Service Manager or AMC engagement activated at handover.

THE LAYERIX DIFFERENCE

Why Network Architects Choose Layerix for Enterprise WAN.

📜

Designed by Engineers With Carrier-Grade WAN Experience

Our founder holds JNCIE-SP #2410 — one of the most advanced WAN certifications in the world — and has designed WAN infrastructure for AT&T, AWS, Facebook, and Bharti Airtel. This is the experience that designs your network.

Failover Tested. Not Assumed.

We simulate link failures before handover — deliberately taking down the primary WAN link and verifying that traffic fails over to the secondary within the agreed time. You see the test. You sign off the result.

🚫

Zero Subcontractors. Every Site.

Whether we are deploying the WAN edge in Bengaluru or Gujarat, the same Layerix in-house team does the work. No regional contractors with different standards and no documentation.

👁️

Traffic Visibility Built In — Not Added Later.

Network Packet Broker, threat intelligence, and WAN monitoring are designed into the architecture from the start — not retrofitted after deployment when performance issues emerge.

⚖️

Vendor-Neutral Architecture Advice.

We are not tied to any single ISP or hardware vendor. We recommend the right combination of Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, Arista, and connectivity providers for your specific requirements — not our margin.

🔄

Still Managing It After Deployment.

WAN infrastructure requires ongoing governance — routing changes, firmware updates, ISP fault management, and capacity planning. Layerix Service Manager and AMC engagements provide this from the same team that built the network.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — WAN Solutions.

What is a WAN and how is it different from a LAN?+
A LAN (Local Area Network) connects devices within a single location — a building or campus. A WAN (Wide Area Network) connects multiple LANs across geographically separate locations — offices in different cities, data centres, or branches across states. A WAN uses external connectivity — MPLS circuits, internet broadband, SIP trunks, or 4G — to link these locations securely and reliably. Layerix designs and deploys both the local infrastructure at each site and the WAN connectivity between them.
What is a site-to-site VPN and why do we need one?+
A site-to-site VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates an encrypted tunnel between two locations over the internet or a shared network. Traffic between the sites travels inside this tunnel — invisible and inaccessible to anyone outside it. Without a VPN, data crossing the WAN is potentially exposed. Layerix configures site-to-site VPN on every branch and multi-site deployment, with failover to a secondary tunnel if the primary link drops.
What is SD-WAN and do we need it?+
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a software layer that sits on top of your physical WAN links and intelligently routes traffic based on application policy — sending critical application traffic on a reliable MPLS circuit and general internet traffic on a cheaper broadband link. It provides a single management dashboard for all link types and automatically fails over between them. SD-WAN is appropriate for organisations with multiple link types (MPLS + broadband + 4G) who want to optimise cost without sacrificing performance. For simpler environments, a well-configured firewall with dual WAN achieves similar results at lower cost. We advise based on your specific situation.
What is the difference between MPLS and a broadband internet link for WAN?+
MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a private, managed network circuit from a carrier — providing guaranteed bandwidth, guaranteed latency, and a defined SLA. It is more expensive than broadband but appropriate for latency-sensitive traffic like VoIP, video conferencing, and ERP. Broadband internet is shared, variable, and subject to congestion — but significantly cheaper. Most enterprise WANs use MPLS for critical traffic and broadband as a secondary or failover path. Layerix designs the right combination for your application profile and budget.
How do you test WAN failover before handover?+
We deliberately simulate link failures during commissioning — physically disconnecting the primary WAN link and measuring the time it takes for traffic to re-route via the secondary path. We verify that all critical applications continue to function after failover and that the failover time is within the agreed threshold. This test is performed in front of your IT team and documented in the commissioning report. You do not take our word for it — you see it happen.
Can you deploy WAN across multiple cities simultaneously?+
Yes. Layerix is operationally active across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, with pan-India delivery capability. For large multi-city WAN rollouts, we plan deployment batches — coordinating survey, hardware procurement, and installation schedules across all locations with a single project plan and a single point of accountability.
What routing protocols do you use for enterprise WAN?+
We select the routing protocol based on the architecture and scale. BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is used for large-scale multi-site WANs and any environment connecting to ISP routing — our founder holds JNCIE-SP #2410, one of the highest BGP certifications available. OSPF is used for internal multi-site routing within a single organisation. Static routing is used for small hub-and-spoke deployments where simplicity is the priority. We document the routing design before any configuration begins.
Can you integrate our existing MPLS circuits into a new WAN design?+
Yes. We assess your existing MPLS circuits — bandwidth, latency, SLA terms, and renewal dates — and integrate them into the new WAN architecture where they are appropriate. We advise on whether to retain, renegotiate, or replace them based on your current requirements and the new architecture design.
What WAN visibility and monitoring do you provide after deployment?+
Every Layerix WAN deployment includes a centralised monitoring platform showing link status, bandwidth utilisation, latency, and device health across all sites. Under a Service Manager or AMC engagement, Layerix monitors this dashboard actively — responding to alerts before they become outages. Monthly MIS reports cover WAN performance trends, incident history, and SLA compliance.
Can the WAN support voice (VoIP) traffic across sites?+
Yes — and it requires specific design attention. VoIP is sensitive to latency (must be below 150ms one-way), packet loss (must be below 1%), and jitter (variation in packet arrival time). We configure QoS (Quality of Service) policies on WAN devices to prioritise voice traffic over all other traffic types. We also integrate SIP trunks and a centralised PBX into the WAN design, allowing inter-site calls on short extension codes at no additional cost.
What security measures are applied on a WAN deployment?+
A Layerix WAN deployment includes multiple security layers: site-to-site VPN encryption for all inter-site traffic, perimeter firewall at each site with IPS and application control, threat intelligence feeds blocking known malicious traffic, and a Network Packet Broker providing deep packet inspection across WAN links. For regulated industries, we align the security architecture to PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, or RBI guidelines as required.
What ongoing support do you provide after the WAN is deployed?+
Layerix provides three managed support models for WAN: AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) covering firmware updates, preventive maintenance, and incident response within SLA; Service Manager for account governance, monthly reporting, ISP coordination, and escalation management; and Break Fix for on-demand incident response without a contract. Most enterprise WAN clients engage both a Service Manager for governance and AMC for maintenance — ensuring the WAN is actively managed, not left to run unattended.
