SD-WAN SERVICES

This feature enables automatic configuration and provision of network devices. This not only eliminates the hectic manual labor work involved but also saves time as the activation happens within minutes.

SD-WAN replaces conventional VPN based key rotations automatically that is programmed to make rotations every now and then without interrupting data plane traffic. This results in increased and better security, zero downtime, and elimination of manual intervention.

It helps identify distinct applications, analyze and report the performance of each application. This feature can provide significant performance and cost benefits for the company by constantly monitoring latency, jitter, delay, and many others.

For geographically distributed enterprises with many branch office locations and multi-cloud connectivity typically backhaul cloud-destined traffic to the data center at headquarters or to a regional hub site for advanced security inspection. The aggregated optimized traffic is then directed to cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers using a private high-speed link on the backend. In the SaaS scenario, the SD-WAN device is connected to the closest SaaS PoP(Point of Presence) to arrive at the best performing path by making real-time decisions.

this popular practice is used to secure applications running in the data center and cloud environments. They are separated based on policies and provide greater control to companies. Micro-segmentation allows the central policy server to automatically seperate the branch at times of attack to protect the rest of the network.

With SD-WAN, you can expect significant cost reduction as it provides completely optimized, multi-point connectivity using distributed, private data traffic exchange and control points allowing users secure, local access to the services they need. These services can be from the network or the cloud.

MPLS connections with 100Mbps + bandwidth and monthly costs will be too expensive.
SD-WAN enables your company to fully utilize multiple, high/low bandwidth, inexpensive internet connections constantly. This includes business-class cable, 4G, fiber, and so on. Your company experiences a fast internet connection by aggregating multiple connections.

SD-WAN can throttle low priority traffic on-the-fly and (for users with multiple ISP connections) always uses the fastest route to send the internet traffic using the circuit.
MPLS doesn’t execute any of the actions as they have a single network connection and as your Class of Service (CoS) setting is static restricts the ability to adjust on-the-fly.

Aggregating multiple ISP internet and WAN connections at a single site will help your company achieve seamless circuit redundancy for your WAN even across multiple circuit types and within the network of services providers.
With MPLS, there can be failover to a secondary internet connection sometimes but it is typically not instantaneous and leaves us with no other backup plans.

Almost every company has sites that don’t suit well for MPLS network due to various reasons. The site may be too small ( due to the high cost of an MPLS circuit), or they cannot be serviceable by the MPLS provider (as the providers are in a remote or international location). Such scenarios force companies with MPLS to suffer less-than-desirable performance as the complete traffic is run over an IPSEC VPN.
On the contrary, SD-WAN provides agnostic and will deliver the same benefits, no matter which underlying ISP your company is using.

MPLS connection requires you to have its service provider at every site.
As a result, it takes a whole lot of reasons to make you want to go through the hassle of switching your company’s MPLS provider. You are bound in a difficult situation.
Whereas, with SD-WAN being ISP agnostic, your company can never be caught with ISP and can benefit from adding or removing ISP’s at any site and time easily.
