Why Choose Viva Fusion SD-ILL for Your Business: The Future of Internet Connectivity

Scaling a business today requires more than just ambition—it demands robust digital infrastructure and modern network capabilities. If your business is still reliant on a legacy network, it’s time to make a change. With digital adoption accelerating across industries, the need for reliable, secure, and agile connectivity has never been greater. This is where Software-Defined Internet Leased Line (SD-ILL) technology plays a pivotal role. It delivers operational efficiency, integrated security, application-level control, and network visibility—at a cost-effective price point.

What is SD-ILL?

SD-ILL combines the reliability of traditional Internet Leased Lines (ILLs) with the agility of Software-Defined Networking (SDN). To understand its value, let’s revisit what an ILL offers: a private, high-speed, low-latency connection designed for business-critical functions such as secure file transfers, VoIP, video conferencing, and cloud access.

ILLs are built using dedicated fibre with guaranteed bandwidth, offering secure, symmetrical internet access. These connections link routers across different locations, enabling seamless data transmission between local networks—even across countries.

Challenges with Traditional ILLs

While ILLs offer many benefits, they come with limitations:

Limited Scalability – Traditional leased lines are often available only in select areas, making expansion difficult.
Outdated Performance Standards – Legacy infrastructure struggles to meet the demands of modern, cloud-based operations.
High Costs – ILLs can consume up to 50% of a business’s operating expenses compared to more affordable broadband options.
Long Provisioning Time and Maintenance Overheads – Setting up traditional leased lines can take more than 30 working days and involve significant maintenance costs.

How SD-ILL Makes a Difference

SD-WAN, when integrated with ILL, transforms static connections into intelligent, cloud-managed networks. Here’s how:

Cost Efficiency – By combining ILL with low-cost links like broadband, LTE, or 5G, businesses can reduce expenses by nearly 50%.
Quick Deployment – Network provisioning becomes effortless with click-based configuration and plug-and-play deployment.
Greater Flexibility – Critical applications get prioritised automatically, ensuring consistent performance and minimal latency.

Types of Leased Lines

There are three main types of leased lines:

Ethernet Access Direct (EAD) – The most common and widely used.
Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM)
Ethernet over FTTC – Often used in areas with limited full-fibre availability.

Optimising Internet Leased Lines with Software-Defined Solutions

SD-ILL enhances leased line performance through:

Centralised cloud management
Streamlined operations and maintenance
