SD-WAN Helping Work From Home

COVID-19 dominates working life today. Office staff throughout the world have settled into their work-from-home set-ups. Nevertheless, a significant portion of the global population do not have access to broadband internet at home; even more have weak internet connections. Working from home rarely offers the high-quality connections employees enjoy at the office. Freelancers also suffer a similar problem. Individuals and organisations are therefore looking for technologies that will enable productivity as working from home continues.

Digital Transformation with SD-WAN

SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a virtual wide area network that has revolutionised how users connect to their applications, no matter where the application resides. Previously, 80% of applications were located in branch offices or core datacenters, and communication was through a leased line, usually MPLS. This has changed today. With the emergence of the public cloud and the adoption of the public cloud by enterprises, applications can be literally anywhere.
