SD-WAN
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
SD-WAN utilises encrypted VPN tunnels suitable for public network use to decouple the network hardware from its control mechanism. This streamlines network security, removing the demand for an additional firewall and data analysis; and prioritises traffic, allowing for lower latency and less dropouts, ultimately creating a seamless user experience without disruption.
SD-WAN is increasingly popular because it helps organisations reduce costs, improve network performance, and enhance security – all while simplifying the complexities of managing large, distributed networks. It is especially beneficial for businesses undergoing digital transformation, adopting cloud-first strategies, or expanding their global footprint.
Drastic changes over the last 5 years have seen remote work become an integral part of how businesses operate. As organisations embrace flexible working models, ensuring smooth connectivity and tough security for remote employees is a critical challenge. Juniper’s SD-WAN solutions offer the perfect answer, enabling businesses to empower their remote workforces with reliable, secure, and efficient network performance.
