Authorized Cato Networks & Fortinet Partner — India

SD-WAN Solutions
for Indian Enterprises

MPLS is expensive per branch and typically locks you in for 3-year contracts. SD-WAN uses broadband and 4G/5G — better performance, dramatically lower run-rate cost, same-day activation. Share your branch count for a tailored ROI model.

Why MPLS is Holding Your Business Back

Prohibitively Expensive

MPLS in India costs 5–10x more per Mbps than broadband. Multi-year contracts with expensive modification clauses make it impossible to scale quickly.

Poor Cloud Performance

MPLS routes all traffic through HQ before reaching the internet. Accessing Office 365, Salesforce, or AWS over MPLS is unnecessarily slow — a problem SD-WAN eliminates with local breakout.

Months to Provision

New MPLS circuits take 60–120 days to provision in India. SD-WAN can have a new branch online in days using existing broadband or 4G.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We recommend a parallel migration: deploy SD-WAN alongside existing MPLS, validate performance, then gradually shift traffic. This approach ensures zero disruption. We've helped dozens of Indian enterprises migrate from MPLS with zero downtime.

SD-WAN works with any IP connectivity: FTTH broadband (Jio, ACT, Airtel Fiber), leased lines, 4G/5G (Jio, Airtel, BSNL), and even existing MPLS as one link. The SD-WAN controller intelligently routes traffic across all links based on application SLAs.

Cato is better for organizations that want to consolidate security into the cloud and eliminate branch hardware entirely. Fortinet is better for organizations already invested in FortiGate hardware or those needing on-prem security inspection at branch sites. Ogma can help you assess both options and recommend based on your architecture and budget.
