Which SD-WAN Vendors Are Supported By AT&T?
United States Cisco Catalyst VMware VeloCloud HPE Aruba EdgeConnect FatPipe Fortinet Palo Alto Prisma
AT&T is the third largest telecommunications company in the world by revenue. Located in the US, AT&T primarily offers its telecommunications services within the US, with wider operations globally.
Given how large-scale AT&T's telecommunications offerings are, AT&T have had to collaborate with a range of SD-WAN vendors, which include Cisco (Catalyst), VMware (VeloCloud), HPE Aruba (EdgeConnect) and FatPipe.
To assist with the varying types of businesses that wish to move towards SD-WAN, AT&T has launched a self-service option for small and medium businesses using AT&T Business Wi-Fi with Cisco Meraki. This option enables SMBs to easily self-manage their network, allowing these businesses to connect, protect, manage and scale their networks while benefiting from both Cisco Meraki's and Wi-Fi 6's capabilities.
When considering the other SD-WAN vendors that AT&T partners with, AT&T provides direct cloud on-ramp for VMware's VeloCloud SD-WAN solution, leveraging VMware's global SD-WAN Gateways for secure cloud connectivity. Further to this, AT&T has been a 10-year partner with FatPipe.
This range of partnerships with Cisco, VMware, HPE Aruba and FatPipe are well-regarded for interoperability and hybrid connectivity due to the diverse set of offerings and AT&T's widespread operations.

Which SD-WAN Vendors Are Supported By Comcast Business ?
United States Versa Networks Fortinet HPE Aruba EdgeConnect Cisco Catalyst Cisco Meraki
The second US-based telecommunications provider on this list, Comcast Business is ranked as a Market Leader for Managed SD-WAN Services as of 2024.
Comcast delivers solutions that scale, easily suiting single location businesses, all the way up to global enterprises. Due to this, Comcast has been recognised by ISG, Vertical Systems and Frost & Sullivan as an industry leader, highlighting their strengths in supporting both telecommunications and managed services.
These managed services extend to SD-WAN, offering fully managed solutions for a range of SD-WAN platforms. Versa, one of these SD-WAN solutions, Comcast has been an original SD-WAN partner with since 2017 on ActiveCore platform. Further to this, Comcast has integrated Fortinet as an option following the acquisition of Masergy. Finally, we've seen that Comcast have recently expanded distribution through Exclusive Networks.
Western Tool & Supply's implementation of Comcast Business SD-WAN assisted with the difficulties faced in managing 11 sites across the Western United States and a data centre. Prior to partnering with Comcast, Western Tool & Supply was working with four different providers and managing multiple providers made troubleshooting network interruptions difficult. By implementing Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN on the ActiveCore SDN Platform and installing Ethernet Dedicated Internet connections, Western Tool & Supply's were able to create site-to-site redundancy between all 11 locations and data centre through primary and backup connections, enable real-time insights and network control through the ActiveCore platform, as well as integrating advanced security with co-management capabilities.

A leading automobile dealer implemented Airtel's Managed SD-WAN in order to remedy the issues they were facing with slow network performance and to reduce their reliance on multiple MPLS vendors, which had been impacting their customer experience and operations. This proved very beneficial as the dealer saw a 35-40% reduction in expenditure by eliminating their MPLS reliance. Further to this, the dealer was able to decrease their reliance on third-party co-location centres, therefore further reduce their overall operational costs.
