SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) has become the preferred choice for enterprises with multiple branches to simplify network management and reduce connectivity costs.
SD-WAN Benefits

- Hybrid WAN support - combine MPLS, internet, and LTE
- Built-in security - integrated firewall and encryption
- Application-aware routing - priority for critical applications
Implementation Considerations
Retail, banking, and manufacturing companies with multiple branches are ideal candidates for SD-WAN. Assess your current WAN topology, application requirements, and security needs before deployment.
