Protection & Performance
As the next generation of enterprise network routing, SD-WAN simplifies network management by protecting from downtime while optimizing network performance, efficiency, and scalability.
Leverage any connectivity.
SD-WAN provides a virtual overlay that uses a VPN tunnel to enable policy driven connectivity. The overlay network can leverage any last-mile circuit connectivity options available at the branch location, which includes MPLS, Ethernet, Broadband, Coax or LTE. This connectivity independence simplifies network management.
Load balancing.
One of the most powerful aspects of SD-WAN is being able to use all the connections at the same time to load balance traffic. SD-WAN leverages multiple circuits to protect against service outages. In addition, you can optimize bandwidth utilization by load balancing across all circuits to ensure maximum speed.
Performance tuning.
A key differentiator for SD-WAN is that everything is orchestrated through a cloud-based “single pane of glass” where you can customize and modify in real-time to ensure its meeting your requirements. Using business policies, key applications are prioritized by type of traffic and circuit. Then, the orchestrator is used to tune and customize how you’re leveraging each circuit for optimal performance.
Network Management Best Practices
With the current global landscape, remote workforces are continuing to expand in acceptance and geographical reach, while network resources are overtaxed with cyberattacks, employee demands and increased bandwidth needs.
