SD-WAN
SD-WAN has the capability to provide you with the ability to truly optimise your network with complete visibility, control and flexibility all done securely
Navigation arrowOverview
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a specific application of software-defined networking (SDN) technology applied to WAN connections which are used to connect networks such as branch offices, headquarters, cloud platforms and data centres, often over large geographic distances.
Businesses are demanding more flexible, open, and cloud-based WAN technologies, rather than installing proprietary or specialised WAN technology that often involves expensive, fixed circuits, or proprietary hardware.
