SD-WAN is a software-defined approach to managing the wide-area network, or WAN. Through a centralized interface a cloud-delivered SD-WAN architecture allows companies to scale cloud-based applications across thousands of endpoints in the branch, campus,
Network orchestration: The network controller abstracts service-oriented SD-WAN network models, orchestrates services related to enterprise WAN networking and network policies, and automatically provisions service configurations. The network controller abstracts and defines the network model of enterprise WANs,...
as it helps connect distributed users securely to business resources. Some options include SD-WAN for the home and secure access service edge (SASE). SASE is a cloud-based architecture that delivers networking capabilities, like SD-WAN, and security...
Explore HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN SD-WANexplained Traditional architectures often use MPLS links to route traffic from branch offices to the datacenter. This architecture is costly, inflexible, and not optimized for the dynamic traffic patterns and application performance demands of cloud-...

Explore HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN SD-WANexplained The traditional model of backhauling traffic from branch offices to the data center for robust security inspection is no longer optimal, wasting bandwidth, adding latency, and ultimately impairing application performance. There is a real ...
Cloud-based security is the natural fit here, as part of a complete SASE framework. Gateway to segmentation: SD-WAN allows organizations to build up to a segmentation-based networking and/or security model, which is fundamentally designed on the principle of least-privilege. This is a precursor...
There are no shortage of SD-WAN vendors right now. This is truly where WAN networking is going, it is not a fad of any sort. But as much as networking changes, it still remains the same. Don’t overlook the importance of a good track record in both networking and security. Most ...
center holds the physical hardware, and the many buildings where employees are located connect to the data center using an SD-WAN connection. Because an SD-WAN is a software-based networking system, administrators control every configuration from a centralized dashboard offered by the cloud provider...
Automated provisioning and configuration.While configuring every networking device at every branch office for traditional WANs has improved from the days of manually doing it in person, SD-WAN automated provisioning and configuration—which can be zero touch in some instances— dramatically reduces configu...
