SD-WAN: Transforming the management of your corporate networks

SD-WAN solutions have emerged as an effective and advanced answer to the challenges enterprises face in managing their networks.

Why do traditional WANs have limitations?

Wide Area Networks (WANs) have for decades been a standard solution for connecting geographies and acting as a foundation for the deployment of enterprise applications. However, traditional WANs suffer from serious limitations in the face of today's connectivity demands:

• Low bandwidth: The increasing amount of information flowing through networks exceeds the capacity of traditional infrastructures.
• High latency: The backhauling model, where traffic must pass through central data centers, generates significant delays.
• Lack of visibility: WANs lack advanced tools to monitor applications, which limits the user experience.

These shortcomings can lead service problems, such as slow communications, unavailability of critical systems and increased vulnerability to cyber-attacks. For companies, this can lead to significant financial losses and serious operational incidents.

SD-WAN: an intelligent and modern solution

SD-WAN technology, which became popular in 2013, offers a modern alternative to traditional WANs. With advanced network management and security capabilities, SD-WAN is positioned as a comprehensive solution that addresses today's corporate connectivity needs:

• Intelligent management:
  • SD-WAN uses advanced algorithms to match traffic to business priorities.
  • Allows automatic switching between networks in case of failures or scheduled disconnections.
  • Provides centralized visibility and control over the network, improving real-time decision making.
• Improved security:
  • Integrates next-generation firewalls to protect business information.
  • Intelligently separates critical and general traffic, increasing protection against cyber attacks.
• Operational simplification:
  • It provides zero-touch provisioning capabilities, companies can deploy the solution quickly and remotely.
  • It allows the use of unified management consoles, which facilitate network monitoring and maintenance.

Key benefits of SD-WAN

Today the SD-WAN market continues to grow exponentially, largely due to key advantages such as:

• Improved user experience: Reductions in latency and increased reliability connectivity at remote sites.
• Cost reduction: SD-WAN enables efficient use of bandwidth, reducing the costs associated with dedicated links such as MPLS.
• Cloud-oriented: Automation capabilities and strategic placement facilitate integration with multi-cloud environments.
• Integrated security: A well-implemented SD-WAN solution strengthens the overall security of the enterprise.
