Who is Bigleaf Networks?
Bigleaf Networks is a cloud-first networking provider that delivers Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) and internet optimization services for enterprises that rely on multiple broadband and Wide Area Network (WAN) connections for access to cloud applications and services.
- Cloud-based SD-WAN services for multi-circuit internet connectivity and traffic optimization (SD-WAN).
- Dynamic traffic routing and failover across multiple Internet Service Providers (ISP) links for WAN reliability and uptime (network resilience).
- Quality of Service (QoS) and Traffic Engineering (TE) features to support Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Unified Communications as a Service (UCAAS), and real-time Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications (application-aware networking).
- Managed deployment and ongoing monitoring through Bigleaf’s cloud core network and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) (managed network services).
- Connectivity designed to integrate with public cloud services and hosted application environments (cloud connectivity).

More About Bigleaf Networks
Bigleaf Networks provides SD-WAN (software-defined wide area networking) services that aggregate and manage multiple internet circuits, such as broadband, fiber, and other IP-based links, to deliver resilient connectivity for enterprises that depend on cloud applications, VoIP, and SaaS platforms.
The company’s architecture uses a combination of CPE at each site and a cloud core network hosted in multiple data centers to create an overlay tunnel across all available WAN circuits (SD-WAN), monitoring path quality and routing traffic based on real-time conditions.
Bigleaf’s service analyzes link metrics such as packet loss, latency, and jitter, and can perform per-packet or per-flow steering across circuits to maintain application performance, which is particularly relevant for real-time workloads such as unified communications, video conferencing, and hosted contact center platforms (application-aware networking).
Enterprises and multi-site organizations use Bigleaf to provide continuity and automated failover between multiple ISPs, reducing the risk of downtime from single-carrier outages and enabling branch offices, remote locations, and headquarters sites to maintain access to public cloud services, line-of-business SaaS, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) endpoints (network resilience).
The platform integrates with standard IP networking and routing protocols, utilizes encrypted tunnels between the on-premises (on-prem) device and Bigleaf’s cloud gateways, and is typically deployed inline at the network edge as a bridge or router, minimizing changes to existing Local Area Network (LAN) configurations (network edge infrastructure).
From a marketplace taxonomy perspective, Bigleaf Networks fits within SD-WAN, WAN connectivity optimization, and cloud on-ramp categories, serving organizations that want to improve cloud application performance without replacing existing firewalls or re-architecting internal networks.
Bigleaf also offers managed monitoring and support as part of its service model, providing visibility into circuit health, application performance, and traffic usage through a web-based portal, which is used by IT teams and service providers to operate and troubleshoot distributed networks (managed network services).
In comparison to traditional Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) or single-link VPN approaches, Bigleaf’s SD-WAN overlay focuses on broadband aggregation and performance-based routing for internet-bound and cloud-bound traffic, aligning with enterprises that prefer carrier-agnostic connectivity and use multiple commodity or dedicated internet services at each site.
