For multi-site businesses

Keep control, cut the bill, simplify the architecture

You run a network of 5 to 50 sites. sdMPLS® hands you back control of your core network, with standard access links (FTTH, FTTO, xDSL, 4G/5G) at market prices, and brings WAN, voice and cloud together on a single infrastructure.

What you are living with

Four pain points we hear from multi-site IT leaders

The MPLS bill

MPLS costs on average 2.9 times more than a business Internet access.

Rigidity

Every change to routing or QoS goes through a request to the operator. The core is not yours.

Site opening lead times

60 to 120 days to open an MPLS site: an acquisition, a move or a temporary site becomes a project.

Two infrastructures

An MPLS network for the WAN, VLANs or a VPN for the cloud, a separate voice platform: as many contracts and operations teams to maintain.

What sdMPLS changes

Concretely, for your network

sdMPLS gives your company its own virtual backbone router, the VRB, in the operator's virtualised core network. You get what MPLS gave you (a private, controlled core, with real traffic engineering) and what SD-WAN promised you (standard, low-cost links, brought into service in a few days).

  1. Open a site in days, not months. A standard link (FTTH, FTTO, xDSL, 4G/5G) at market price, and the site joins your core network. A provisional start-up over 4G/5G is possible while waiting for fibre.
  2. One core for WAN, voice and cloud. Your sites, your telephony and your hosted resources run on the same VXLAN core, through your VRB. A single architecture to understand, operate and evolve.
  3. Control by your team, or by your partner. The VRB exposes what a network team already knows how to do: routing, QoS, VLANs and segments. You control your policy; running the core remains the operator's job; and if you prefer, your Powered by sdMPLS partner operates the VRB for you.
  4. No lock-in. sdMPLS is built on open standards (VXLAN, EVPN, FRR): your configuration can be exported and reused elsewhere.

What it costs

The price of standard links, plus the VRB

The cost of an sdMPLS network is made up of the standard access links, billed at market prices, and the VRB. There are neither specific MPLS links nor per-site overlay licences. The price depends on the number of sites, the link technologies available and the services carried (voice, hosting).

A tailored quote rather than a public price list

The cost of an sdMPLS network depends on the access links available at each of your sites (shared fibre, dedicated fibre, xDSL, 4G/5G) and on the sizing of your VRB. Flex.eu does not publish a price list: a Powered by sdMPLS partner draws up a quote based on your estate of sites and your current links, to be compared with your MPLS bill. Request a quote.

Customer stories

They use sdMPLS

Coming soon: first customer feedback being collected. We publish no customer story without the written agreement of the company concerned and without verified figures. The first testimonials (retail, healthcare, industry, services) will be published here and on the blog.
