RouterOS 7.20 and BGP Instances: OptiWize SD-WAN Handles Everything

RouterOS 7.20 and the return of BGP instances: why in-house management is costing you clients

RouterOS 7.20 reintroduces BGP instances. Discover how OptiWize SD-WAN eliminates the costs of in-house MikroTik management, ensuring zero downtime for your clients.

RouterOS 7.20 and the return of BGP instances: why in-house management is costing you clients MikroTik has just released RouterOS 7.20, reintroducing BGP instances after removing them during the transition from version 6 to 7. For many, this is just a technical update. For operators managing critical infrastructure, it is yet another confirmation of a structural problem.

The hidden cost of in-house management Every time RouterOS changes its architecture — as happened with BGP — your technical teams have to stop everything to:

• Analyse the impact on existing services
• Redesign custom configurations
• Test compatibility with production systems
• Train staff on the new standards
• Handle any service interruptions

In the meantime, your clients are waiting. Competitors are moving forward. Market opportunities slip away.

OptiWize SD-WAN: your competitive advantage While other operators scramble to keep up with updates, those using OptiWize SD-WAN already have everything under control. Our team has integrated the new BGP instances with zero impact on end-client aggregation and failover services. Concrete result: zero interruptions, zero redesigns, zero wasted time for your engineers.

The difference between surviving and dominating the market Operators who invest resources in in-house technical management are fighting the wrong battle. While you chase RouterOS updates, your competitors are focusing on:

• Acquiring new enterprise clients
• Developing value-added services
• Geographic expansion
• Margin optimisation

OptiWize SD-WAN turns the problem into an opportunity: by freeing your engineers from day-to-day maintenance, you can reinvest those skills where they actually generate revenue.

The time to decide is now Every day you spend managing infrastructure in-house is one less day to grow. RouterOS will keep evolving, MikroTik will keep changing its approach. The question is not if you will have to chase the next update, but how much it will cost you in missed opportunities. With OptiWize SD-WAN, that concern disappears. For good.
