@omaralomar87

I have designed & implemented and maintained SDWAN in one of the biggest hospitals & primary health care centers that covers 2.5 million people. The previous design was depending on ISP's MPLS network, and the current setup is fully SDWAN solution with redundant and load sharing ISP link connectivity for each location with full secure encrypted end-to-end connectivity and full vision and control of applications and performance.

@joshuajsaunders

Please read this Your approach might be favourable but wouldn't it be more effective if we focused first on establishing a strong baseline assessment before moving to high-level design? This ensures we understand current performance issues clearly, leading to more tailored solutions. A solid foundation can drive better outcomes in latency and application performance across all branches. I have further ideas and strategies to enhance your rollout and would be glad to discuss them, even without compensation. Just wanted to know: what is your timeline for the baseline assessment phase?

@sachinuit

I bring hands-on SD-WAN experience across Cisco SD-WAN, Silver Peak (HPE Aruba EdgeConnect), and VMware VeloCloud environments, including migration from traditional WAN/MPLS architectures to policy-driven SD-WAN. I can support the complete 36-month rollout lifecycle—from baseline assessment, HLD/LLD and policy design through staged branch cutovers, performance tuning, monitoring, documentation, and knowledge transfer. My focus is performance first: reducing latency and jitter, improving application experience, optimising bandwidth, and building resilient WAN connectivity. I’m also experienced in troubleshooting real-world migration and go-live issues while maintaining controlled change processes. Let’s discuss your current topology, branch count, vendor environment, and rollout timeline so I can propose the right architecture and deployment approach.

@ElectronicsMust

Dear Client, For a 36-month SD-WAN rollout, the priority is not simply replacing MPLS—it is proving, branch by branch, that latency drops, jitter stabilises, failover behaves predictably and business-critical applications perform better after migration. I have 11+ years of engineering/system-integration experience across 500+ assignments involving Ethernet systems, real-time data transport, communication architecture, redundancy, performance troubleshooting and technical validation. My approach: WAN Architecture → Policy/QoS → Pilot → Cutover → Performance Validation → Optimisation I can support architecture review, performance methodology, migration and test planning, troubleshooting, documentation, change control, and ongoing optimisation alongside your internal network team. Profile: https://www.freelancer.in/u/ElectronicsMust Two important questions: 1. Which SD-WAN platform/vendor is selected? 2. Approximately how many branches and WAN circuits are in scope? If your project is urgent and you would like to start immediately, you can book a call here: https://www.freelancer.in/service/pcb_layout/electronics-new-product-development-consultation-26078 If you message me, I’ll also share the first three performance metrics I would baseline before migrating the pilot branch. Kind Regards, Avi Gupta Quality is never an accident

My approach is always performance-driven, using latency, jitter, packet loss and application requirements to make intelligent traffic-steering decisions. I’m also comfortable working alongside internal network teams, with strong emphasis on **documentation, change control, rollback procedures and knowledge transfer**. I would be happy to discuss your current WAN environment, target SD-WAN platform and rollout strategy, and explain how I would approach the initial assessment and pilot. Best regards, Raúl

@comsesads

Hello, I have hands-on experience with enterprise WAN, SD-WAN/SASE, network security and resilient infrastructure, including Cisco environments and Palo Alto Prisma Access. At Pronaca, I worked on enterprise network and security architecture supporting critical infrastructure and regional operations. My experience includes network segmentation, high availability, resilient connectivity, change control, maintenance windows, and the implementation and evolution of SASE/Prisma Access environments supporting more than 1,000 remote users, including regional deployments. I understand that your objective is not simply to replace MPLS, but to improve application performance and resilience while maintaining operational continuity throughout a staged migration. I can support the engagement from baseline assessment and architecture through phased deployment, controlled cutovers, performance optimization, documentation and knowledge transfer. For a 36-month engagement of this scope, my proposed rate is $25/hour. Regards, Jorge

I understand that your priority is end-user performance—latency, jitter, application performance and reliable failover. I can work alongside your network team on architecture, implementation, troubleshooting, tuning and detailed documentation. I would be glad to discuss your current topology, vendor stack and rollout requirements and explain where my hands-on SD-WAN experience can contribute.

@mayankjbb

Hi, A 36-month SD-WAN transformation with performance as the north star is exactly the kind of program I've spent my career operating inside of — not designing on a whiteboard, but living through the cutover, the early teething issues, and the tuning that follows. Relevant experience I currently own end-to-end operations of a Cisco Viptela SD-WAN deployment across multiple global locations, including staged migrations off legacy MPLS/DIA connectivity. My background before that was hands-on MPLS/BGP/OSPF engineering. In 2024 I supported a live onsite migration engagement (Japan) — real-time issue resolution during cutover, client-facing troubleshooting, and implementation of migration plans as they hit friction on the ground. That's the phase most SD-WAN proposals gloss over; I've been in the room for it. What I bring::- Direct experience auditing legacy MPLS/routing environments and translating pain points into design requirements Hands-on Viptela policy creation, path selection, and bandwidth/QoS configuration Live cutover execution with risk assessment and rollback planning — not theoretical Ongoing SLA/KPI monitoring and iterative optimization as part of standard operations Experience producing stakeholder reporting and running structured knowledge-transfer/mentoring for engineering teams. I'd welcome a short call to walk through the deployment in more detail and answer any technical questions on the Viptela policy/architecture side. Mayank Shukla

@redac18

Hello, I am a network and security engineer with 3+ years of experience, and SD-WAN migration is exactly the kind of work I specialize in. I have hands-on experience with SD-WAN, VPN/IPSec, firewall administration (Fortinet, Check Point, Palo Alto), Zscaler, and network troubleshooting. For your 3-year migration from legacy MPLS to policy-driven SD-WAN, my approach would be: 1. Assessment: audit the current MPLS topology, traffic patterns, and application performance baselines (latency, jitter, packet loss). 2. Design: define a policy-driven SD-WAN architecture with application-aware routing, so critical applications always take the best-performing path. 3. Pilot: deploy a limited pilot to validate performance improvements against the baselines before full rollout. 4. Phased migration: migrate sites in waves with rollback plans, keeping disruption to a minimum. 5. Optimization and monitoring: continuous tuning of policies, plus centralized monitoring and reporting on end-user performance metrics. I also bring system administration (Windows Server, Linux) and cloud (AWS) experience, which helps when integrating SD-WAN with cloud-hosted services and branch infrastructure. I am fluent in English and French. Questions: which SD-WAN vendor are you considering (Fortinet, Cisco, Palo Alto, VMware, or undecided)? How many sites are in scope, and are there cloud-hosted applications to prioritize? Best regards, Reda
