How Nexapp SD-Branch as a Service Cuts IT Costs and Simplifies Branch Networking

Introduction

Branch networking has always been a complex and costly challenge for enterprises. Traditional branch IT relies on a patchwork of routers, firewalls, switches, WiFi controllers, and multiple service providers. This creates high costs, operational inefficiencies, and slower time-to-market for new branches.

Nexapp SD-Branch, delivered as a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), is built to change that. By combining SD-WAN appliances, last-mile connectivity, and 24×7 managed services, it unifies WAN, LAN, WiFi, and security into one fully managed solution. The result is lower IT costs, simplified operations, and better customer experiences.

The Cost of Traditional Branch IT

• • Multiple vendors, multiple costs – Separate hardware, licenses, and contracts inflate IT budgets.
  • Operational overhead – vendors must travel for deployments, upgrades, and troubleshooting.
  • Security complexity – Overlapping point solutions from different vendors create gaps.
  • Inflexible networks – Branches are locked into MPLS or single providers, making scale expensive.

How Nexapp SD-Branch Solves These Challenges

1. 1. SD-WAN Appliances with Multi-Transport Support
      Nexapp SD-Branch appliances support MPLS, Internet Leased Line (ILL), broadband, and 4G/5G. Enterprises get transport independence and can use the most cost-effective or available last-mile service per branch.
   2. Integrated Last-Mile Internet Services
      Beyond SD-WAN, Nexapp provides last-mile Internet procurement, delivery, and management. This ensures branches are always connected with the right bandwidth—without customers needing to manage multiple ISPs.
   3. Centralized Cloud Management
      WAN, LAN, WiFi, and security are controlled from a single dashboard. Policies can be rolled out across hundreds of branches instantly, eliminating repetitive manual work.
   4. Advanced Security Built-In
      Security services including Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) are delivered as part of the platform—reducing the cost and complexity of managing multiple appliances.
   5. Customer Success Services
      Nexapp ensures end-to-end success with:
      • • Zero-touch deployment for new branches
        • 24×7 managed services for monitoring and support
