Consolidate circuits, secure every site, and see your network on one screen — powered by DQE’s enterprise-grade Managed SD-WAN. 

Enterprise networks weren’t built for how businesses operate today. Too many circuits. Too many vendors. Too many blind spots in visibility and support. 

That’s why enterprises are turning to Managed SD-WAN — and why DQE’s version stands apart. Delivered over our utility-grade fiber and built on a best-of-breed platform, it gives you a smarter, stronger network with app-level control, built-in security, and automatic failover. Backed by leading engineers, it’s infrastructure you can trust — because the people managing it know what’s riding on it. 

What Makes DQE Reliably Different

DQE’s Managed SD-WAN combines the resilience of our utility-grade fiber with the intelligence of a modern WAN platform — giving you the visibility, performance, and peace of mind your business requires.

Instant Failover and Redundancy

Thousands of applications are identified and prioritized in real time so your mission-critical tools — from EMR systems to financial platforms — always stay responsive.

Centralized Visibility and Control

Leverage broadband, fiber, and cellular together for cost-effective performance across every site in your network.

WAN Optimization

Actively corrects for packet loss and reduces overall latency to maximize network efficiency. Your network adapts in real-time to deliver consistent, high-quality connectivity across all sites and applications.

Integrated Advanced Security

Converges the most advanced Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) and routing to deliver consistent security on- and off-network. Easily integrates with DQE’s Managed Security Services for comprehensive protection.

Scalable and Agile

Add new locations and services with ease. Adjust routing, user policies, traffic limits and security settings in real time across your network — empowering your IT team to respond quickly to changing business needs.

POWERED BY FORTINET 

Enterprise Performance. Fortinet Power. DQE Expertise. 

DQE’s Managed SD-WAN is built on Fortinet, the global leader in network and security solutions — recognized as a performance leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SD-WAN and the only vendor to earn the Gartner Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice distinction five years in a row. 

That award-winning technology runs over DQE’s utility-grade fiber network and is managed by local engineers who know your business. The result: a best-in-class platform backed by people who are always within reach — not a remote ticket queue. 

TURN YOUR NETWORK INTO A BUSINESS ADVANTAGE. 

DQE’s Managed SD-WAN ensures uptime, visibility, and performance — so IT teams can focus on innovation, not interruptions.
