SDWAN Is The Network Solution Every IT Decision Maker Is Looking For....Here's How And Why

 

SDWAN (software-defined wide area networks) has been a very hot topic in CIO and CTO conversations lately, and here’s why: While SDWAN may have sounded like a costly and inaccessible alternative to traditional MPLS network connectivity just a few years ago, IT executives are quickly recognizing the productivity, scalability, and security benefits of next-gen WAN solutions to support remote workers and multi-location operations in today’s post-pandemic world.

IT decision makers are supporting their digital transformation needs with a complete SDWAN plan that also protects their business from growing cyber threats. SDWAN layered with SASE and ZTNA is a powerful differentiator for companies looking to address both network connectivity and management strategies as well as cybersecurity requirements all with one solution.

SDWAN can intelligently route traffic around congestion based on the type of content being transferred, the endpoint, the time of day, the application’s security needs, latency sensitivity, or bandwidth costs. IT teams can manage potentially thousands of network switches from a centralized controller over the internet, cloud topologies, and more. This gives them the ability to scale the network as needed, optimize performance, and make more efficient use of resources.

Secure access service edge (SASE, pronounced “sassy”) is a framework for network architecture that brings cloud native security technologies together with SDWAN capabilities to securely connect users, systems, and endpoints to applications and services anywhere. SDWAN + SASE allows IT teams to bring critical security implementations to the remotest edge of their network to address the changing needs of a remote workforce. It also ensures cloud-destined traffic isn’t backhauled to the on-premises data center but transits seamlessly from the user to the cloud without delay or performance impact.

But wait, there’s more! No secure network would be complete without the additional layer of zero trust network access (ZTNA). ZTNA is based on a Zero Trust security framework requiring all users, whether in or outside the organization’s network, to be authenticated, authorized, and validated before being granted access to any company data or devices. So, users only have access to what they need, and everything else is locked down (kind of like how a key card works in a hotel elevator), resulting in better compliance and threat mitigation.

One of the big advantages of a complete SDWAN solution is that it can be acquired as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) with little up-front spend. Once adopted, cost savings continue through improved network utilization and productivity. Plus, consider the burden that SDWAN removes from time-strapped engineers because it automates the complexity of managing highly dynamic cloud and remote office environments.

With the shift to the remote and hybrid workforce, and the requirements of supporting multi-location environments, the opportunity to introduce the productivity and cost-savings benefits of a secure, complete SDWAN package (SDWAN with critical security layers like SASE and ZTNA) to your company has never been better.

An Essential Guide To SDWAN Myths And Facts (VIDEO)

Enterprises across the world continue to face growing challenges and uncertainties, be it due to the pandemic or the next shock to global markets. Compounding the challenges is the move to becoming more distributed than ever as enterprises pivot to hybrid workspaces, leading them to rely more on cloud services.
With connectivity as the glue and key to successful digital transformation in the next normal, security is a growing imperative and cannot be addressed independently of the network.
All enterprises will need to adopt a secure, software-defined hybrid networking approach in network architectures and invest in next-generation technologies such as SD-WAN and other virtual network services (VNS) to address their changing network and security needs to accommodate their remote workforces. The question is, therefore, not whether to enable software-defined networking and cloud-based tools, but how and where, and what’s next.

What Is SASE And It's Impact On SDWAN? (VIDEO)

 SASE, or Secure Access Service Edge, is a cloud-based networking architecture that combines security and network. SASE intends to target networking and security challenges that WAN and SD-WAN can’t fully address. SASE touts a global SD-WAN footprint, distributed inspection and policy enforcement, a cloud architecture, and services based on the connection identity and context.

SASE is still an emerging market, but it intends to reduce complexity and cost, improve performance, and more.
Do you think SASE will replace SD-WAN? What potential challenges do you see? Let us know in the comments.
