With SD-WAN there may be multiple network carriers used across multiple locations. Allowing network changes to be made much easier.
An SD-WAN’s single console and uniform software deployment make it possible to monitor network and application performance at any point in the network.
Enable multiple links, devices and services to coexist and interoperate. With the use of software to make the network function, it becomes easier and faster to turn on new endpoints or change locations.
With greater carrier choice and uniform hardware, SD-WAN evens out the cost differences between locations.
A wide area network (WAN) might be used to connect branch offices to a central corporate network, or to connect data centers separated by distance. In the past, these WAN connections often used technology that required special proprietary hardware. The SD-WAN movement seeks to move more of the network control is moved into the “cloud,” using a software approach.
