SDWAN Overview

Introduction

Digital transformation has ushered in a new era of long-lasting IT infrastructure changes. These changes have resulted in new challenges for the network and security teams, such as securing the distributed and hybrid workforce and delivering secure access to business-critical applications across a multicloud environment. In addition, the internet is rapidly becoming the preferred method of connectivity due to cost and availability. Still, it does not provide the security, consistency, visibility, or quality of traditional technologies such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) links. IT needs to rearchitect its WAN edge to deliver consistent and predictable digital experiences in a multicloud world.

Cisco^®SD-WAN is a cloud-delivered WAN solution that connects any user to any application, with integrated capabilities such as multicloud, security, enhanced visibility, and analytics building toward a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)-enabled architecture.
