Security Benefits of SD-WAN Technology
Posted: 28th Apr 2023
Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) is a type of networking technology that allows companies to connect their networks over a wide area using software-defined networking (SDN) principles. SD-WAN uses software to abstract the underlying network hardware and protocols, enabling companies to easily and dynamically control the way that data is transmitted over their wide area network (WAN).
One of the main benefits of SD-WAN is that it allows companies to more easily manage their WAN infrastructure and optimize the flow of data between locations. It enables them to prioritize certain types of traffic, such as voice and video, and to route it over the most appropriate links in order to ensure the best possible performance.
