Integrations

SD-WAN integrations

SD-WAN is delivered as a managed network service rather than a software product with an app marketplace, so integrations are mainly about network connectivity. The service connects branch offices, headquarters, and data centers over broadband, MPLS, and other links, and routes traffic to cloud applications and public cloud environments. Masergy, now part of Comcast Business, combines SD-WAN with its wider portfolio of secure networking services. Comcast Business does not publish a detailed list of supported cloud platforms, security tools, or monitoring integrations for this service, so buyers should confirm compatibility with existing firewalls, identity providers, and SIEM tools during the sales process.
