If your organisation operates from more than one site, is dynamic/growing fast, and is already on its journey towards using cloud-based applications, then SD-WAN may well be for you.
SD-WAN (Software-defined WAN) offers many businesses some clear benefits over traditional WAN. It is the next generation in wide area networking and an important progression in the technology.
It simplifies operations, allows central management, rapid new site configuration and quicker application roll out. It could allow you to keep your team lean, improve performance and reduce OPEX costs at the same time as making the full use of your bandwidth.
It also offers a deeper view of the security status of your whole network, with next generation firewalling, allowing direct internet access for SaaS or cloud-based applications.
Managing private networks is a time consuming and complex task, but clearly a requirement for organisations wanting to guarantee application performance to their employees.
