The Challenge

Traditional MPLS is expensive, inflexible and slow to change

MPLS circuits are the traditional enterprise WAN solution — reliable, but expensive and slow to provision. A single MPLS circuit can cost 5–10x more than a comparable broadband connection. Provisioning a new site takes 60–90 days. As businesses move workloads to AWS, Azure and SaaS platforms, MPLS provides no advantage for cloud traffic — yet businesses are paying for capacity they don't need.

Why Centric Comms

SD-WAN replaces rigid MPLS with intelligent software-defined routing across multiple connection types — broadband, leased lines, 4G/5G — automatically selecting the best path for each application in real time. Businesses typically reduce WAN costs by 30–40% while improving performance and adding resilience that MPLS alone can't match.

Common Concerns

Questions we hear every day

Switching supplier always raises questions. Here are honest answers to the ones we hear most often.

🔄

Migration from MPLS

Migrating from MPLS doesn't require a big-bang cutover. We run SD-WAN alongside your existing MPLS, migrate sites one at a time and decommission MPLS only once you're satisfied — typically over 3–6 months.

📡

Reliability Concerns

SD-WAN uses multiple connection types simultaneously. If one connection fails, traffic automatically switches to the next — providing better resilience than single-circuit MPLS.

🔧

Complexity

SD-WAN is managed centrally by Centric Comms. Your team accesses a read-only dashboard to monitor performance; we handle all configuration, updates and fault response.
