The traditional WAN architecture was limited to enterprise, branch, and data center. Once an organization adopts cloud-based applications in the form of SaaS and IaaS, its WAN architecture experiences an explosion of traffic accessing applications distributed across the globe.These changes have multiple implications for IT. Employee productivity may be compromised by SaaS-application performance problems. WAN expenses can rise with inefficient use of dedicated and backup circuits.With SD-WAN, IT can deliver routing, threat protection, efficient offloading of expensive circuits, and simplification of WAN network management. Business benefits can include the following:
1)Better application experience
High availability, with predictable service, for all critical enterprise applications
Multiple hybrid active-active links for all network scenarios.
Dynamically routed application traffic with application-aware routing, for efficient delivery and improved user experience.
2)More security
Application-aware policies with end-to-end segmentation and real-time access control.
Integrated threat protection enforced at the right place.
Secure traffic across broadband Internet and into the cloud.
Distribute security to the branch and remote endpoints with NGFW, DNS security, and NGAV.
3)Optimized cloud connectivity
Seamless extension of the WAN to multiple public clouds.
Real-time optimized performance for Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce, and other major SaaS applications.
Optimized workflows for cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
4)Simplified management
A single, centralized, cloud-delivered management dashboard for configuration and management of WAN, cloud, and security. Template-based, zero-touch provisioning for all locations: branch, campus, and cloud. Detailed reporting of application and WAN performance for business analytics.
