SD-WAN
Ai and ML are key to having a good SD-WAN | SASE  solution

SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) has been around for over 10 years. However, not all SD-WAN architecture and technology are the same. We help you identify the best option for your business.

Let's talk about SD-WAN & Security in one mobile client.

​

So fundamentally, what is SD-WAN?

  • Bandwidth Discovery

  • Path Monitoring

  • Application Steering

  • Bandwidth Aggregation

  • Link Remediation

​​

SD‐WAN separates functionality into a control plane layer and a data plane layer. This concept of separating layers gives several benefits, which is why we use it today.

​

An SD-WAN solution optimally routes application flows to intended destinations over multiple media types of transport.  Here are some examples MPLS, Internet, Private lines, LTE, etc.
​
Every provider of SD-WAN products is a little different. However, the primary function of SD-WAN is to offer improved application performance and availability across the WAN. Visibility into the WAN and applications. I recommend a solution that provides gateways to the cloud and SaaS applications. 

​

SASE

What is SASE?

Secure Access Service Edge is software (SD-WAN+Security) in a cloud architecture model that bundles network and security-as-a-service functions together. 

​

Why SASE?

  • Cost less, and a good TCO

  • Does DPI-SSL for you (creation of a CA certificate) at wire speed

  • DPI/SSL/TLS is why SASE is so cool

  • The ability to inspect in the middle of an encryption stream
