CALGARY – Shaw Communications has launched a new networking solution that it says gives businesses the ability to share business data and critical applications between head offices and their branch locations at up to half the cost of traditional networking solutions.

Shaw Business’ Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) service will remove the headaches and costs associated with IT and the Multi-Protocol Label Switch (MPLS) hardware typically required to keep head office and branch offices connected, reads the company’s news release.  As a result, companies of all sizes will have the ability to connect their offices together with an efficient and fully managed cloud-based offering, without sacrificing reliability, speed and security.

SD-WAN is now available for businesses with multiple sites starting at $145 on a three-year contract.  Find out more here.

“In today’s bandwidth-hungry world, business owners need affordable and next-generation solutions from a provider that understands the challenges of growing a business,” said Shaw’s business, brand and communications president Katherine Emberly, in the release.  “Shaw Business understands that organizations of all sizes deserve a robust, scalable and secure enterprise-grade networking solution to keep their head office and branch offices connected.”
