How To Deploy A DIY SD-WAN?

We have seen a rapid increase in the deployment of SD-WAN by organisations of all scales. It is essential to understand the various methods of SD-WAN deployment. Generally, there are two approaches to deploying software-defined networking: managed SD-WAN providers and do-it-yourself (DIY) methods. In the latter approach, any external service provider is not hired for the deployment of SD-WAN. Instead, it is managed and set up by the company’s own IT teams.

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.
