Gain agile, flexible and cost-effective global network connectivity
Your wide area network (WAN) is the backbone of your organisation. It must align with the evolving needs of your enterprise and be agile and stable as well, to avoid overloading your IT team and escalating network-related costs.
Furthermore, todayās global collaborative relationships with colleagues, partners and customers demand a new kind of corporate network, one that encompasses the extended enterprise.
The case for SD-WAN
The software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is the newest capability in the WAN sphere. It applies software-defined networking concepts to WAN connections, bringing benefits such as:
Reduced
costs
SD-WAN can connect your branches and data centres and optimise network performance for a lower cost than with other architectures, such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). As itās software-based, deployment of the SD-WAN onto your current infrastructure is quick & easy.
Accelerated adoption
of cloud computing
IT teams responsible for branch-office productivity are driving the take-up of cloud services and they find that cloud services work better with SD-WAN, rather than with a closed network such as MPLS.
Support for corporate
agility and collaboration
While MPLS networks have traditionally worked well in connecting specific point-to-point locations, users in todayās offices and those working remotely need to have integrated access to the cloud as well as to on-premise applications.
