What is SDWAN?
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a virtual WAN architecture that allows enterprises to leverage any combination of transport services – including MPLS, broadband internet, and cellular – to securely connect users to applications. It uses software-defined networking principles to centrally and intelligently control traffic across the WAN, improving application performance, reducing costs, and enhancing network agility.
