SD-WAN Simplifies Network Management to Support Distributed Workforces

SD-WAN Simplifies Network Management to Support Distributed Workforces

Overview

In today’s world of connected devices, always-on mobility, and cloud services, networking has become increasingly complex. For many enterprises with distributed branch offices, their existing network infrastructure is unable to provide the security and responsiveness needed for current business models. Network evolution is essential to optimize the entire management structure and support a connected workforce.  

To keep employees connected to the data center, the cloud, and their applications, companies are looking for cost-effective solutions that support cloud-based applications and always-on networking. Network administrators must take into account ease of rollout and administration for a hybrid workforce. A key benefit of a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is the ease and speed of remote deployment. SD-WAN integrates with your existing WAN architecture to identify the most effective way to route traffic. SD-WAN also transfers security monitoring from physical devices to a centralized controller, enabling network managers to control traffic and configure priorities based on real-time network load, without requiring on-site IT support.
