The pandemic has forced businesses to adapt to remote and hybrid working, putting pressure on IT teams. Those with agile networks and mobile working capabilities fared better, while others struggled to keep up. The situation remains fluid as businesses navigate the challenges of rapid change and business continuity.
Organisations need to prioritize networking capabilities by adopting Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) to improve agility, security, and performance for cloud applications while reducing costs.
SD-WAN can replace MPLS, save costs, simplify management, and improve agility by directing traffic to the most suitable connectivity option for better application performance.
SD-WAN technology allows for centralised control and quick adjustments to adapt to strategic or unforeseen changes, enhancing business agility.
Traditional WANs struggle with cloud services, causing delays and poor user experience. Backhauling traffic to a hub/data center for security can be costly and inefficient.
SD-WAN is a secure, software-based networking approach that offers flexibility and control over connections between multiple sites, using various types of connectivity.
SD-WAN solutions offer security and intrusion protection, allowing cloud traffic to flow directly from branches to the cloud for improved performance. Real-time monitoring helps identify and fix network issues quickly.
