Secure data transmission between sites, devices and cloud applications without expensive MPLS fees or public internet connections being required - say goodbye to costly connectivity solutions like MPLS! A user-friendly GUI (graphical user interface) streamlines network management, allowing IT to save time. From a central portal, you can quickly create custom policies for multiple branches. Cloud computing fundamentally alters traffic flows, creating performance and security challenges for networks. SD-WAN addresses these issues. Security SD WANs are equipped with security solutions that ensure data is transmitted securely between office locations as well as to and from remote users. These technologies include dynamic encrypted networks, network intrusion detection/prevention and traffic reporting/visibility solutions. 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.
