    SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a technology that uses software to manage and optimize network traffic across multiple locations. It helps businesses connect securely to applications, cloud services, and data centers using cost-effective internet links instead of traditional MPLS.

    SD-WAN works by separating the network control from the hardware and using software to route traffic intelligently. It monitors network conditions in real time and automatically chooses the best path for data, ensuring faster speeds, better reliability, and improved performance for cloud applications.

    SD-WAN enhances security by encrypting all data traffic, segmenting networks, and integrating advanced security features like firewalls and threat detection. This ensures secure connections for remote users and branch offices, reducing risks of cyberattacks.

    Here are the steps to implement SD-WAN:

    • Explore SD-WAN through discovery and innovation workshop

    • Assess SD-WAN readiness assessment based on current network needs and goals

    • Evaluate SD-WAN demo to see your solution in action

    • Proof of concept to support your business case

    • Deploy and build your SD-WAN in phased migration

    SD-WAN offers multiple benefits like:

    • Boost productivity by intelligently selecting path preferences such as MPLS or internet to prioritise your traffic.

    • Reduce network costs through centrally managing and configuring your network and deploying rapid updates.

    • Diagnose faults swiftly by recognising application performance problems through a simple-to-use portal.
