Today’s Enterprise WAN Isn’t What It Used To Be

Kentik

The WAN was how we got access to some websites and sent emails. Yes, there’s something to say about how applications are written, but on the public internet side, we’ve seen a decrease in latency, cost, and a massive increase in available bandwidth. This coincided with the advent of the public cloud like AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.

How SD-WAN Provided an Alternative to MPLS – A Case Study

CATO Networks

Critical applications included cloud ERP and VoIP. When they signed the agreement with the MPLS provider, the solution seemed to be exactly what they needed to support their applications and uptime requirements. Nick wanted to add bandwidth, but for some sites, the MPLS provider offered only limited or no fiber connections.

The Path of a Packet in Cato’s SASE Architecture

CATO Networks

Its impractical to centralize a network around an on-premise datacenter when data and applications increasingly are in the cloud and users are wherever they need to beon the road, at home, at a customer site, in a branch office. SASE moves security out of the legacy datacenter and closer to where users, data and applications reside today.

SD-WAN Confessions: How One Company Migrated from MPLS to SD-WAN

CATO Networks

The company has critical ERP and VoIP applications that run in the cloud. One problem stemmed from overuse of the bandwidth at certain peak times, prompting the need for more bandwidth. We couldn’t even get fiber at some locations when we needed more bandwidth. Issues arose about a year into the MPLS contract.
