What is SD-WAN? Software-Defined WAN (SDWAN)
A WAN (wide-area network) traditionally connects users from the branch or campus to applications hosted on servers at a data center. However, the technological world has developed into a cloud-based world, for which the traditional WAN is no longer suited. As businesses become more SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) based, traffic has increased, as well as the need for predictable performance and robust security. In steps the modern SD-WAN (Software-Defined-WAN).
Now, instead of being restricted to one enterprise or data centre, an organisation can experience more traffic accessing applications distributed worldwide, as long as businesses update to SaaS and IaaS cloud applications. This change contributes to a range of benefits for your business.
