Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is a technology that revolutionizes the management and operation of a WAN by decoupling the networking hardware from its control mechanism. SD-WAN optimizes network performance by dynamically routing traffic across the most efficient paths, such as broadband internet, MPLS, and LTE. This ensures high availability and reliability for critical applications while reducing costs associated with traditional WAN infrastructures. SD-WAN enhances security through integrated encryption and robust policy-based controls, allowing businesses to secure their data and comply with regulatory requirements. It also simplifies network management with centralized control, providing greater visibility and ease of deployment across multiple locations. This makes SD-WAN an attractive solution for businesses looking to improve network agility, performance, and cost-efficiency.
Call An ExpertImproves PerformanceSD-WAN allows you to prioritize critical traffic and real-time services, so it gets to you efficiently. Thanks to these reliable high-performance connections, packet loss and latency issues are reduced.
Enables Cloud UsageSD-WAN improves Cloud application performance, enables direct Cloud access, and eliminates backhauling traffic so employees can work with ease.
Lowers ComplexitySD-WAN eases the IT burden by simplifying infrastructure. It uses broadband to off-load business apps that are not critical to your business or strategy. It also monitors tasks and manages traffic, so your network does not perform poorly.
Boosts SecuritySD-WAN solutions offer built-in security and provide a wide range of security features that are beneficial to your company’s security. More robust devices are eliminating the need for a firewall.
Reduces CostsThe amount of data that travels over a WAN increases as your company grows and uses more services and applications. SD-WAN can reduce this price by leveraging low-cost local internet access, providing direct Cloud access, and reducing traffic.
If you’re unfamiliar with the technology world, SD-WAN solutions may be confusing, but our experts at Internet Nerdz are here to help. Regardless of your needs, Internet Nerdz will match you with one or more of our SD-WAN service providers who can demonstrate how it works and why it is replacing MPLS, or if you like, we can orchestrate a Proof-of-Concept to make sure your organization realizes the numerous benefits.
