SD-WAN ARCHITECTURES EXPLAINED

As the IT infrastructure leaps from legacy and siloed to cloud-first and integrated , user expectations of subscriber-specific services are rising . To keep the operations crisp requires seamless integration between multi-disciplinary devices & nodes , and endto-end orchestration of the network in which they reside . This is precisely what makes the network architecture indispensable to application performance and a predictable user experience .

In fact , it wouldn ’ t be wrong to say that evolution is to biology as the architecture is to networking . You adapt , learn and improve . Think of it as a map to your digital transformation initiatives that connects a global user base , applications and cloud services . The importance of getting it right is only becoming more critical for driving higher ROI and engagement .
Network architectures can vary significantly in terms of performance , complexity , security , and efficiency . Take , for instance , the so warecentric approach over the traditional WAN deployment . It deploys faster , scales immediately , reduces capital expenditure , and simplifies network operations .
Having said that , there are numerous ways of delivering these so ware-centric benefits , and they do not guarantee the same level of performance , cost savings , capability , or user experience . x
