WHY SD WAN?

Improved Transport Options
Improved Transport Options
Because the WAN is virtualized, it allows businesses to take advantage of any data connection available including 3G, 4G LTE, 5G, MPLS, T1, Ethernet, Fiber, Dark Fiber, Serial, Cable, DSL, Dedicated Wireless, or Wi-Fi.
Better Redundancy
Better Redundancy
Businesses can plug in multiple data connections and utilize all connections in real time without downtime. Certain SD Wan solutions can take up to 6 different data connections!
More Security Options
More Security Options
The various SD WAN solutions can include a lot of the functionality available through Firewalls, so depending on the Client’s needs, could alleviate the high cost of additional equipment. However, there is flexibility with most to allow the business to continue to manage its own firewall. This is important particularly with businesses who have to meet HIPAA, PCI and other specific compliances.
Intelligent Pathway Control
Intelligent Pathway Control
One of the most important advantages of SD-WAN is that it can provide intelligent path control that steers traffic based on application. This traffic-forwarding capability can be set in place at the centralized controller level and then pushed out to all SD-WAN devices. Policies can be based on IP addresses, application profiles, port number, quality-of-service markings, time of day, or any other number of variables.
Plug and Play Provisioning
Plug and Play Provisioning
Provisioning is dramatically easier as SD-WAN enables businesses to send SD-WAN devices to branches un-configured anywhere in the world. Once plugged in, the device will download its policy, crypto certificate and keys, and automatically register the site, devices, etc. This information is now instantly available within the control portal available with most offerings instantly!
Cost Savings
Cost Savings
SD WAN solutions can help organizations avoid the high costs of MPLS networks as the equipment will prioritize by application or user. Additionally, SD WAN will help your IT Department become more efficient identifying issues, opening trouble tickets, etc. ultimately lowering your overall technology expense.
