Modern SD-WAN Management: An Answer for an Internet-Connected World

Changes brought about by digital transformation are pressuring traditional wide area networks (WANs) because of expanded public-cloud workloads, mobile connectivity, and the security ramifications of network traffic shifting from secure corporate data centers to branch offices.

Enter the software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), which uses network virtualization and cloud-based technologies to simplify delivery of WAN services, accelerate deployments, and deliver deep visibility and control across the network.

In this guide, we explain:

  • Today’s network challenges, as described by enterprise IT leaders.
  • How SD-WAN delivers new functionality that answers these challenges.
  • What to look for in a secure SD-WAN solution.
  • Key elements of a truly unified SD-WAN offering.

The Definitive Guide to SD-WAN

As digital disruption has led businesses to re-evaluate and reimagine almost every aspect of their operations, many have found that the traditional wide area network (WAN) just isn’t keeping up.

Organizations are turning to the power and simplicity of SD-WAN to answer their network demands – and to be ready for new technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G mobile, AI, and more.

In this guide, we explain:

  • Why SD-WAN is the best choice for business networking needs, today and in the future.
  • How SD-WAN can greatly reduce network complexity and cost.
  • Best practices for making the transition to next-gen SD-WAN.
  • What to look for in an SD-WAN vendor – and what to look out for.

Unlock the Value of SD-WAN: ROI and Beyond

SD-WAN is a transformational technology, but some vendors often pitch their solutions as a way to save money. Cost reduction is important to earning a return on investment (ROI), but it is not the biggest opportunity with this technology. Instead, enterprises should use SD-WAN to turn the network into a platform for business transformation. This white paper explores how users can plan for ROI and network transformation with SD-WAN.

This white paper focuses on these major topics:

  • Why enterprises are transforming networks with SD-WAN.
  • How SD-WAN supports transformation.
  • After WAN transformation, build your ROI model.
