Managed SDWAN

What is Managed SDWAN?

SDWAN Managed Service is a fully managed, ITIL‑aligned service that takes operational responsibility for your SDWAN. It delivers 24/7/365 proactive monitoring of both underlay and overlay networks, application‑aware performance management, secure policy control, and governed change and patching. The service includes UK‑based support, reporting, service reviews and a dedicated Service Delivery Manager to keep your SDWAN resilient and optimised.

Why choose our solution?

You need resilient connectivity, predictable performance and less noise for your team. boxxe provides a human‑centred, UK‑based service that owns outcomes end‑to‑end.

Always on coverage

Overnight alerts won’t wait for business hours. Our 24/7/365 monitoring and event management ensure issues are triaged and acted on in real time to protect uptime.

Governed change, faster

Standard moves, adds, changes (MACs), delivered by accredited engineers mean quicker, well controlled updates — without surprises or drift.

Security you can prove

Quarterly firmware reviews, accelerated for critical vulnerabilities, strengthen posture and compliance with a clear cadence.

Accountability & insight

Your SDM leads reporting and quarterly reviews, so you get transparency, trend data and continual improvement.

The benefits of Managed SDWAN

Modern networks must be cloud‑ready, resilient and easy to operate. Managed SDWAN gives you the control to prioritise what matters — application experience, security and cost — while offloading day‑to‑day operations to specialists.

With boxxe, you gain a single, proactive service: real‑time monitoring, governed change, lifecycle visibility and expert guidance from an SDM and UK‑based NOC. The result is lower risk, lower TCO and more time for strategic initiatives.

1

Performance & experience

Application‑aware policies and intelligent path control deliver consistent user experience across sites and hybrid work.

2

Security & resilience

Continuous monitoring and an accelerated patching process reduce exposure and improve recovery times.

3

Cost & efficiency

Optimised path selection, right‑sized circuits and fewer outages reduce downtime and wasted spend.

4

Visibility & planning

Monthly reports and boxxe LABS insights drive lifecycle, licensing and budget decisions with real trend data.

5

Faster delivery

Rapid fallbacks such as FTTC or multi‑carrier 4G/5G keep sites live while fibre is delivered, accelerating deployments.

Why your organisation needs Managed SDWAN

Budgets are tight, skills are scarce and networks are more distributed than ever. The risk is downtime, spiralling costs and inconsistent security.

Managed SDWAN removes complexity, improves performance and restores control — so your team can focus on outcomes, not firefighting.

Unpredictable application performance

Users and customers feel every jitter and brownout. SDWAN intelligent traffic routing ensures consistency and application performance.

Operational risk & security exposure

Without a patch cadence, vulnerabilities linger. We review firmware quarterly and accelerate critical updates.

High costs & wasted spend

High costs & wasted spend

Oversized circuits and outages add up. We right‑size and optimise to lower TCO.

Skills and capacity gaps

Skills and capacity gaps

SD‑WAN expertise is scarce. Our accredited engineers and SDM provide governed change and end‑to‑end ownership.

Poor visibility & planning blind spots

Poor visibility & planning blind spots

No trend data means reactive decisions. Monthly reporting and LABS insights fix that.

What our customers say

It's universally agreed that this was one of our most successful projects of the year. Downtime was minimal and not a single WAN change was reversed, boxxe Group got it right the first time. The smoothness of the transition was amazing, thanks to the technical expertise and planning.

Chris Tyler
Network Manager
ENGIE UK

“This is fantastic work and achievement. In all the years I've been in networking, I've never seen a change of this significance rolled out in anywhere near that time.... more like months rather than minutes. Truly outstanding and supports the exact message we give to customers.”

Ken Hobbs
Enterprise SE
Cisco

"We didn't want to get into a firefighting situation; kick the windows in and fix the door later.

We knew we needed to collaborate with a partner who shared our values; a partner that our people could feel at home with, and a firm that we could trust to co-own and drive the future of our tech with us.

We found that with the boxxe Group."
