Network & Connectivity solutions

SD-WAN, SASE and MPLS Replacement Advisory Still Paying for Yesterday's Network?

Many organizations still run on MPLS contracts and circuits sized for a different business. As connectivity and security converge, MALA compares carriers and architectures across its partner network, with similar compensation models across qualified options.

The challenge

Connectivity spend hides in plain sight.

Legacy MPLS

Premium architecture that no longer matches cloud-first traffic.

Zombie circuits

Circuits still billed after sites close or move.

Post-merger duplicates

Overlapping services inherited through acquisition.

Network meets security

SD-WAN and SASE decisions that span both teams.

Our approach

From MPLS to modern WAN, without the risk.

  1. 01

    Inventory

    Map every site, circuit, carrier and contract.

  2. 02

    Analyze

    Match bandwidth and architecture to real traffic.

  3. 03

    Benchmark

    Compare pricing across multiple carriers.

  4. 04

    Design

    Review security architecture as network and security converge.

  5. 05

    Migrate

    Phase cutover site by site, with MALA coordinating.

Where MALA helps

The right network, at the right price.

Dedicated Internet Access

Bandwidth and redundancy sized to each site.

SD-WAN

Providers compared on performance, management and cost.

SASE

Network and security evaluated together.

MPLS replacement

A phased path off legacy private networks.

WAN modernization

Architecture built for cloud and SaaS traffic.

Telecom expense audit

Billing errors, dead circuits and mismatched rate plans.

Most telecom savings come from what's already on the invoice: closed circuits, duplicates and unused capacity.

Common questions

What clients ask first.

Should we replace MPLS?

Often, but in phases. We map traffic and risk first, then sequence the migration.

Can you audit our telecom bills?

Yes. We check circuits against actual usage and flag billing errors and unused capacity.

SD-WAN or SASE?

It depends on your security architecture and team. We evaluate them together.

Are you tied to any carrier?

No. MALA works with many carriers, and their compensation models are similar.
