Open Systems SD-WAN is a cloud service for enterprises with global operations that depend on cloud and mobile connectivity. It prioritizes business-critical applications and uses available bandwidth. Application-level policies select network paths, balance traffic, and define fallback order when connections degrade or fail. Administrators can control bandwidth by application, location, and connection. Application Optimization uses caching, compression, and protocol optimization to reduce bandwidth use and improve application performance. Traffic between sites is automatically encrypted and authenticated across public or private networks, including internet and MPLS. A single-pass architecture decrypts and analyzes VPN traffic for per-application visibility and consumption trends. Open Systems describes AI-run automation and Level-3 engineers operating network and security operations. Access is through web and API, with integrated security and cloud on-ramps. Pricing is on request. The service was founded in 1990 and is headquartered in Zürich.
