Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is a technology that secures and manages multiple types of connections and offers a flexible Wide Area Network connectivity. Its main advantage is to reduce costs, improve network performance, and provide an easy-to-use management interface.
Enterprises looking to gain more control over their networks can greatly benefit from this software revolution. To date, technology companies such as VeloCloud from VMware are promoting SD-WAN software for businesses who rely heavily on connectivity performance. NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud can be a game-changer.
Transport Flexibility
NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud gives businesses total flexibility when it comes to accessing the internet, ethernet, serial, Wi-Fi and more. NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud increases bandwidth economically by aggregating WAN circuits of any type, providing faster response, even for single application flows. Thanks to the WAN being virtually accessible, its transport-independent design allows for businesses to take advantage of any transport protocol that is needed at anytime and anywhere. Data plane function and orchestration are delivered in the cloud to provide direct and optimized access to cloud as well as on-premises resources
Better Security Features
NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud software is configured to possess certified cryptography and malware defenses to protect sensitive data and information. SD-WAN includes in-box security functions minimizing concerns when accessing the information directly from a website. In addition to this, users are able to create policies to enforce heightened security measuresfor its services like Voice over IP (VoIP). SD-WAN’s integrated cloud also offers web content filtering services to ensure further protection.
Dynamic Pathway Control
From one central control dashboard, SD-WAN also provides intelligent path control to process and direct traffic. This allows users and IT professionals to easily gain visibility into the network pathways. As a result, they are able to decipher where any processing, queuing, or transmission delays are coming from in order to ensure optimal traffic flow in real-time.
Automates Branch Deploymentsand Orchestration
Centralized monitoring, visibility and cloud control enable zero-touch branch deployment while delivering automatic business policy and firmware updates, link performance, and capacity measurements. You can deploy a branch in minutes with NSX SD-WAN Edge activation from the cloud. Automatic WAN circuit discovery and monitoring eliminates link-by-link and branch-by-branch configuration.
In the past, before SD-WAN, making changes to the network would require complex manual configurations. Now, we have the ability to manage and control our network with new technology capabilities. Today’s SD-WAN software solutions can be key to a businesses’ network transformation.
