You can now securely transmit data between sites, devices, and cloud applications - without paying expensive MPLS charges or requiring public internet connections - bye bye to costly connectivity services like MPLS. Unsave IT time by streamlining network management using a user-friendly graphical user interface (UI). From a central portal, you can quickly create custom policies for multiple branches. Cloud computing alters the traffic flow, which creates security and performance challenges for networks. SD-WAN offers solutions to address these challenges. Security SD WAN solutions include security technologies which protect data transmissions from office locations to remote users. This includes dynamic encrypted channels, network intrusion/prevention systems, and traffic visibility/reporting. It is important that companies don't choose between performance and security in selecting the optimal solution. Therefore, a top SD-WAN provider will combine with leading cybersecurity vendors to ensure the maximum performance and protection of networks. Managed SD WANs are designed to support cloud-first strategy by directing application traffic directly towards the nearest data center or cloud gateway using the best path possible based on the network performance requirements and security. This improves UCaaS quality by eliminating backhauling to data centers and reducing latency; further, SD-WANs increase existing security infrastructure's efficiency by permitting traffic to trusted destinations/applications to bypass extensive scanning/analysis equipment thereby freeing up resources for more suspicious traffic, leading to significant cost savings for enterprises.
