SD-WAN
A wide area network (WAN) might be used to connect branch office to a central corporate network, or to connect data centers separated by distance. In the past, these WAN connections often used technology that required special proprietary hardware. The SD-WAN movement seeks to move more o f the network control to the “cloud”, using a software approach – hence “Software Defined Wide Area Network”
SD-WAN offers compelling advantages for distributed organizations with critical branch operations, including the benefits of business agility, improved application performance, and lower cost of bandwidth
SD-WAN can also be used in a single location environment, allowing the business to enjoy the enhanced control, and bandwidth utilization optimization, allowing the prioritization of mission-critical applications over lower priority applications.
