SD-WAN

SD-WAN Overview

SD-WAN is fundamentally about efficiency. It comes down to giving the people who work for you the tools they need to compete and win on a global stage - the ultimate responsibility of upper management. It touches your customers too - in a situation where network capacity becomes limited for whatever reason, SD-WAN gives you the power to prioritize bandwidth, ensuring that the applications most critical to customer experience don't skip a beat.

What is SD-WAN?

Software-Defined - Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is a combination of technologies designed to offer a simpler approach to the WAN. It's being driven largely by the decreasing cost of bandwidth and the increase in cloud applications that reside outside of the legacy data centre. SD-WAN can be deployed over existing WAN connections, whether they are Internet (DIA, broadband, LTE) or private (MPLS, private line), in order to create a secure, private, fully meshed network. It offers simplified management, quicker turnup, better application performance, improved resiliency, and cost savings when compared to traditional approaches. Providers Edgeworx Solutions Inc has curated a portfolio of SD-WAN providers that include all of the market-leading providers for both DIY or fully managed WAN services.

Why Consider It?

• Cost savings vs. expensive private networks

• Decreasing cost of Internet bandwidth

• Improved performance for cloud applications

• Increased resiliency and uptime across the entire network

• Simplified network management, especially at branch sites

• Drastically shorter time to deploy new locations
