SD-WAN Is An Emerging Technology That Is Becoming A Mainstream Choice For Improved Network Quality And Stability.
Your business requires a robust communications and data network for its mission critical applications and services without the fear of bottleneck dead-ends or restrictive bandwidth. Traditionally that has been accomplished by connecting private sites with MPLS or other private circuits. SD-WAN provides solutions that not only meet or exceed those offered by traditional WAN technologies but also enables additional capabilities such as redundancy, application acceleration, dynamic bandwidth via Cloud providers and more.
Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is designed to best utilize and intelligently route information based upon availability and performance of accessible circuitry. It is quickly becoming a popular means of optimizing available communication paths on-demand with circuit monitoring and intelligent diagnostics. Its popularity is expected to increase by 90% in the next five years, offering enterprise environments the ability to improve their network reliability while saving money.
An SD-WAN simplifies the management and operation of a WAN by separating the networking hardware from its control mechanism. This concept is similar to how software-defined networking implements virtualization technology to improve data center management and operation. A key application of an SD-WAN is to allow companies to build higher-performance WANs using lower-cost and commercially available internet access, enabling businesses to partially or wholly replace more expensive private WAN connection technologies.
SD-WAN products are intelligently designed to address network problems such as congestion, jitter, packet loss, service outages, latency, bandwidth demands, costly maintenance, troubleshooting, etc. in a more efficient manner. By enhancing or replacing traditional branch hardware with virtualization appliances that can control application-level policies and offer a network overlay, less expensive internet links can act like a dedicated circuit. This simplifies the setup process for branch personnel. SD-WAN products can be physical appliances or virtual appliances and can reside in small remote and branch offices, larger offices, corporate data centers and Cloud platforms. Multiple networks can be established to run simultaneously for system failover. If your primary network fails, your remaining SD-WAN infrastructure will continue to function seamlessly.
TRI-TEC partners with the world’s leading SD-WAN carrier service providers and can address your concerns about security, redundancy, and quality of experience when electing to implement an SD-WAN solution. We recognize that your bandwidth prioritization is essential to streamlining your network infrastructure and connectivity and we remain committed to providing smart, cost-effective networking solutions for you.
