Transform enterprise connectivity with intelligent SD-WAN managed services
CACI’s SD-WAN managed services deliver secure, high-performance connectivity across branches, cloud platforms and remote users. Your application performance can improve, resilience can increase and WAN operations can be simplified with the help of our expert-led SD-WAN network management.
Is your network slowing down cloud and SaaS applications?
Legacy WAN architectures were designed for data centres, not modern cloud-first environments. CACI’s SD-WAN managed services prioritise SaaS traffic and optimise connectivity to cloud platforms such as Microsoft 365, creating a faster, more consistent experience.
Are expensive MPLS circuits increasing your network costs?
Traditional WAN networks often rely on costly private circuits that are difficult to scale. Using our SD-WAN managed services, you can combine broadband, fibre and 5G connectivity while maintaining performance and resilience.
Struggling to manage connectivity across multiple locations?
To effectively operate distributed networks, you need to continuously monitor and optimise them. This can present challenges to teams that are already resource-poor, however.
CACI’s SD-WAN managed services give you the visibility, automation and expertise necessary to maintain reliable connectivity across sites and users.

FAQs
Answers to common questions about SD-WAN managed services.
SD-WAN managed services involve outsourcing the deployment, monitoring and optimisation of a software-defined wide area network to a specialist provider. The provider designs the architecture, installs edge devices, manages traffic policies and delivers 24/7 monitoring to ensure performance, security and reliable connectivity across distributed sites.
SD-WAN managed services work by using software-defined networking to route traffic intelligently across multiple network connections such as broadband, fibre, MPLS or 5G. The managed provider configures policies and continuously monitors performance so traffic automatically follows the most efficient path for applications.
SD-WAN managed services improve application performance, simplify WAN management and reduce network costs. By combining multiple internet links and prioritising business-critical traffic, organisations gain faster cloud connectivity, improved resilience and greater visibility across distributed infrastructure.
MPLS relies on dedicated private circuits to connect sites, while SD-WAN dynamically routes traffic across multiple connection types such as broadband, fibre and cellular networks. SD-WAN offers greater flexibility, improved cloud performance and lower operating costs compared with traditional MPLS-only architectures.
Yes. Many organisations use SD-WAN to reduce or replace MPLS circuits by combining multiple internet connections while maintaining reliability. SD-WAN can prioritise critical applications and automatically reroute traffic if one connection fails, improving resilience while lowering network costs.
SD-WAN improves performance through application-aware routing and real-time network analytics. Traffic is automatically directed across the fastest available connection based on conditions such as latency, packet loss or congestion, ensuring consistent performance for cloud and SaaS applications.
SD-WAN identifies SaaS traffic and prioritises it across optimal network paths. This reduces latency and improves user experience for applications such as Microsoft 365, collaboration tools and other cloud services accessed across multiple locations.
When choosing an SD-WAN provider, organisations should evaluate network monitoring capabilities, security integration, cloud connectivity, SLA guarantees and vendor expertise. Strong providers also offer analytics dashboards, policy automation and scalable architectures aligned with business growth.
