Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) Services
Nio Networks helps organizations achieve cost savings and enhance their security posture through the implementation of SD-WAN across their enterprise networks.
Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) enables enterprises to build high performance wide area networks (WAN) at significant cost savings when compared to legacy WAN technologies. Rapid adoption of cloud strategy and collaboration platforms are straining existing corporate WAN infrastructure. SD-WAN helps enterprises satisfy these increasingly complex requirements and offers the following advantages:
- Advanced application optimization that delivers and ensures predictable application experience
- Multi-layered security which provides flexibility to deploy the right level of security at the right place
- Simplified administration of the network
- Significant cost savings
The following are some of the key considerations and use cases for SD-WAN:
- Branch connectivity architecture: mesh vs hub-and-spoke
- Transport redundancy and network resiliency
- Critical Application SLA and Quality of Service policies to ensure predictable application experience
- Resource optimization and policy enforcement through techniques such as Service Chaining
- Cloud connectivity
- Integrated security architecture for reduced attack surface and role-based enforcement
- Automated provisioning and configuration management
- Network visibility and analytics
