Deploying a wide area network, or WAN may seem like a complex, daunting task. We help you to understand SD-WAN – a technology that enables enterprises to migrate to a flexible, simple-to-deploy, and easy-to-manage, automated WAN solution.
Software‐Defined WAN provides the advantages typically associated with Software‐Defined Networking (SDN) in data centers but for wide area network solutions for enterprise branch offices. Both SDN and SD‐WAN virtualize resources to provide accelerated service delivery, better performance, and improved availability by automating network deployment and management while reducing the total cost of ownership.
