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 SDWAN And Why Should You Care? (VIDEO)

 SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) is a more automated and pre-defined approach to managing the WAN (wide area network), thereby massively reducing man-hours spent on configuring the perfect business network that spans large areas internally or externally on a large geographical scale. We will go into a lot more detail about what SD-WAN is and how it can benefit you and your business, but first we can discuss the highlights, Reliability, Affordability and overall suitability of SD-WAN. Key advantages include:

- Reducing costs with transport independence across MPLS, 4G/5G LTE, and other connection types.

- Improving application performance and increasing agility.

- Optimizing user experience and efficiency for software-as-a-service (SaaS) and public cloud applications.

- Simplifying operations with automation and cloud-based management.

App Defined SDWAN.....Simple, Secure, Powerful

The Revolutionary Approach to WAN

CloudGenix was founded by a group of seasoned innovators with extensive careers building some of the most widely used networking products ever made. Their mission is to provide the world with the ability to build and manage their WAN the way it should have been done in the first place. The old way of doing WAN involved customers who had data centers where the applications lived; this meant agents were selling these customers connectivity along with routers. What you find now is that the number of people who use conventional PCs is declining. If applications are moving to the cloud, why should we use the same old way of connecting users and remote offices to where the application lives? CloudGenix AppFabric gives you the freedom to incorporate any type of WAN into your branch office, including MPLS, broadband, internet, and cellular, allowing you to make connectivity decisions based on the price and performance demanded by each branch office and each application.

AppFabric is build using top-down policies that map applications, sites, and WAN links to requirements for performance, security, and compliance. When it comes to CloudGenix, there is no need for complicated routing protocols or lengthy router configs. CloudGenix makes everything very simple for its customers so that they can focus on the business priority.

How does CloudGenix differentiate? CloudGenix is completely agnostic, not just to the transport but to the carrier as well. Most carriers will monitor circuit latency and circuit loss in circuit jitter; they will look at WAN network metrics and will base the best path on this. CloudGenix also does this, but the big difference is that they are also looking at all the application stats, round-trip time for the application sessions, and server response time. CloudGenix has changed the unit of operation from packets to sessions, and from networking to applications. They are application-defined, not only can they tell you what the customer is using, they can tell you how the application is behaving and why a certain app should pick a specific path.

So, why CloudGenix?

A Network's Weakest Link May Be Different Than You Think

When asked which part of their network is the weakest or most unreliable, I’d be willing to bet that most network admins would respond by naming network segments that have commonly lagged behind from a technological perspective. Yet because so much attention has been put on improving the technologies in these specific areas, others have become neglected. What many will soon discover is that the less reliable and more problematic parts of their network have shifted toward areas that were previously "rock-solid." Let's look at why this shift has happened, where it’s likely to form, and what can be done to avoid it.
