As more businesses embrace digital transformation initiatives, the demand for secure, reliable networking solutions has never been higher. However, increased dependence on the cloud and a rise in remote working models have left many struggling with connectivity issues. While traditional wide area networks (WANs) often can’t keep up with the […]
Preparing for SD-WAN Obstacles
Companies implement software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) as a way to address bandwidth demands from cloud applications and centralize management of the network. SD-WAN also allows for traffic prioritization and zero- or low-touch provisioning. Networking teams appreciate the ability to eliminate manual configuration in geographically dispersed branch locations. SD-WAN offers […]
Why Your SASE Deployment Needs the Support of a Managed Services Provider
Secure access service edge (SASE) delivers converged networking and security solutions to lower risk without compromising performance. It utilizes tools such as zero trust network access (ZTNA), firewall as a service (FWaaS), software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN), and secure web gateway (SWG) to achieve a host of benefits. Many managed […]
4 SD-WAN Trends to Follow
Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) was significantly impacted by the events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. In early 2020, over 60% of companies said that they were initiating a roll-out of SD-WAN; but by late 2021, only 36% had deployed the network approach. This is according to new findings by Nemertes […]
Combining Zero Trust Network Access and SD-WAN for Optimized Security and Performance
As pandemic-weary workers start to filter back into the office, few of them are making the trip on a daily basis. Instead, companies are embracing hybrid and work-from-anywhere models with employees working at home, at a branch location, or anywhere they can find a reliable internet connection. Zero trust network […]
3 Ways SD-WAN and ZTNA Can Support the Remote Workforce
In March 2020, the sudden shift to a remote workforce had IT teams scrambling to be sure their company’s employees had access to the resources they needed to do their jobs. Now, as businesses increasingly choose some type of hybrid work environment or allow remote options as a permanent solution, […]
Making a Case for Zero Trust SD-WAN Security
Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) has emerged over the last decade to allow better distribution of network resources across geographically dispersed companies and their brand locations. While this approach has delivered a solution to the complexity and costliness of supporting cloud solutions, SD-WAN security remains a challenge. Securing SD-WAN faces […]
SD-WAN: The Cornerstone of Remote-Access Technologies
Enterprises contemplating the ability to welcome their employees back to the office are arriving at an unexpected conclusion: many are finding that the benefits of remote teams may make it advantageous to bring teams back in shifts or leave work location choices up to individual employees. Some enterprises are inviting […]
Five Lesser-Known SD-WAN Features That Transform Your Network
A transition to software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) is often initiated to simplify the management of a complex cloud environment with bandwidth-hungry solutions, or as a way to reduce the overall cost of WAN. While SD-WAN features like enhanced application performance and improved visibility are regularly discussed, there are a […]
Removing the Risk of an SD-WAN Migration
Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) is an important implementation for enterprises prioritizing cloud migration in their technology strategies. As more organizations shift from multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) to a virtual networking solution, there is also a need to address the challenges that come with an SD-WAN migration. Connectivity: Careful planning […]
