What is SD-WAN?
It's short for software-defined wide area network and it's an evolution of the WANs that most businesses use to connect geographically distributed locations like branch offices and work sites.
SD-WAN can enhance network performance and creates a safe, secure network governed by bandwidth and traffic policies that can be quickly and centrally configured.
An SD-WAN differs from a traditional WAN in that it reduces dependence on hardware and data centers in favor of integrated software and cloud networking. This opens the door to agile, dynamic solutions to problems like dropped connections and laborious policy setting.
Why SD-WAN?
Fast LAN but slow WAN
In the Broadband Speed League reports the average speed of global broadband is 9.1Mbps while LAN speed gets up to 10Gbps.
Growing Branches & Cloud Usage
By 2025, 80 percent of companies will have new branches and therefore more rely on cloud.
Lower Cost Higher Throughput
SD-WAN is quick to deploy whilst MPLS may take months to install. It improve performance without extra bandwidth investments.
