“If
you are among the nearly 70% of enterprise organisations that have yet to
experience the benefits of SD-WAN technology, don’t worry we understand,” says Pete Nel, Business
Development Executive at Duxbury Networking, local distributors for Extreme
Networking technology.
The landscape is diverse, and the
technology is ever changing. The software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is
taking off in enterprises of all sizes, and for good reason. Simplifying
administration with a centralised policy driven approach, the SD-WAN is
transport independent, whether MPLS, Internet, WiFi, 3G, 4G or 5G and prioritises
traffic according to policy.
“It increases business agility and
speeds provisioning, while driving down the total cost of the WAN. The first
generation of SD-WAN was really about reducing costs, and replacing MPLS with broadband
and dedicated internet access. Now we are in the phase where SD-WAN is not
about reducing cost, it’s about business continuity,” says Nel.
