What is SD-WAN?
Traditional WANs connect users across branches to data centre-hosted apps using dedicated MPLS circuits for reliable connectivity, uptime, and security. However, in the era of cloud computing, this approach is no longer sustainable for cloud-first enterprises.
Due to the shift to the cloud, traditional WANs have become obsolete, making way for a new network model known as Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN).
