SD-WAN

Summary

SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a virtual WAN architecture that intelligently routes traffic across a wide area network, enhancing the performance of applications while minimizing costs.

Detailed Description

SD-WAN simplifies the management and operation of a WAN by separating the networking hardware from its control mechanism. Traditionally, WANs are built using MPLS links that are expensive and complex to configure. SD-WAN enables enterprises to use multiple connection types (like broadband internet, LTE, MPLS, etc.) while offering centralized control for performance monitoring, application-level routing, and security features.
