Exertis Guide 6/8 Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) enables enterprises to connect multiple offices together while also allowing an easy means to prioritize which applications are most important to the business and give them priority over the network. SD-WAN solutions also allow network admins to have insight into what types of traffic are traversing their networks, how much bandwidth individual applications are consuming and how their underlying ISPs are SD-WAN provides WAN simplification, lower costs, bandwidth efficiency and a seamless on-ramp to the cloud with significant application performance especially for critical applications without sacrificing security and data privacy.
performing. Additionally, many SD-WAN providers have their own cloud networks which incorporate peering arrangements with other cloud and SaaS providers. This improves access and performance, and can ultimately rival the quality of traditional private WAN solutions like MPLS and point-to-point circuits. SD-WAN is used for better security. The areas needing improvement are generally associated with proprietary backhaul connectivity services, poor network performance, and inconsistent security posture and policy management. All of which inhibit low risk adoption of cloud-based applications and other digital transformation initiatives.
