About SDWAN

SD-WAN is a software-defined approach to managing the wide-area network, or WAN.

Key advantages include:

• Reducing costs with transport independence across MPLS, 3G/4G LTE, etc.
• Improving business application performance and increasing agility.
• Optimizing the user experience and efficiency for SaaS and public cloud applications.
• Simplifying operations with automation and cloud-based management.

SD-WAN is an acronym for software-defined networking in a wide area network. SD-WAN simplifies the management and operation of a WAN by decoupling the networking hardware from its control mechanism.

The software-defined wide-area network (SD-WANor SDWAN) is a specific application of software-defined networking (SDN) technology applied to WANconnections such as broadband internet, 4G, LTE, or MPLS. It connects enterprise networks — including branch offices and data centers — over large geographic distances.
