Best SD-WAN Providers

You Are Here

SD-WAN is a pretty common word these days. The abbreviation stands for software-defined networking in a wide area network (WAN). The main proposition of an SD-WAN is that, it helps in the management and operation of a WAN by simplifying the whole thing. It is able to achieve this by the decoupling (separating) of the networking hardware from its control mechanism.

This concept derives a lot from a fairly older technology in which software-defined networking implements virtualization technologies to make data center management and operation a lot more efficient.

SD-WAN Providers

One critical usage scenario of an SD-WAN is that it allows companies of various sizes to build higher-performance WANs using cheaper and easily available internet access, enabling businesses to save costs by partially or fully replacing their more expensive counterparts of private WAN connection technologies such as MPLS.
