SD-WAN - architecture, functions and benefits

Abstract

SD-WAN is currently considered as a technology that has the potential to revolutionize the use of WAN services. It supports a new concept known as Application-driven networking, where the network is expected to meet the needs of applications, services and customers. In short, SD-WAN is a centralized management of WAN networks, usually with a close connection to Cloud computing and security. This way, customers can easily manage their networks regardless of the connectivity provider. SD-WAN is currently one of the most current topics with a real impact on CC services and WAN environments. SD-WAN influences thinking about how we have used network services so far. More importantly, it has great potential to change the way we use communication services in the future. There are several industries that are interesting in terms of SD-WAN deployment. Based on our analyzes, we can include the education sector among them.
