Rise of the UberNet

CATO Networks

As a result, SD-WAN adopters have remained chained to their MPLS services, paying exorbitant bandwidth fees just to deliver these core applications. Bandwidth was still provisioned in the old T1/T3/OC-3 increments. Careful traffic engineering was necessary due to limited available bandwidth. But that doesnt have to be the case.

WAN Optimization in the SD-WAN Era

CATO Networks

Born alongside the expensive MPLS data service, WAN optimization appliances allowed organizations to squeeze more bandwidth out of thin pipes through compression and deduplication, as well as prioritizing traffic of loss-sensitive applications such as remote desktops. WAN optimization has been with us for a long time.

What is Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) and Why You Need It

CATO Networks

This elastic capacity allows for the rapid deployment of additional sites and changes in bandwidth requirements. Visibility Solutions such as Secure Web Gateways in the Cloud don’t provide visibility to the WAN. IT staff also no longer need be concerned about capacity planning when upgrading security appliances.

How Secure is Your SD-WAN?

CATO Networks

The market for SD-WAN has been driven in part by its ability to reduce bandwidth costs and improve the performance of cloud access. Any SD-WAN should build a virtual overlay of encrypted tunnels between locations. The encryption protocols typically used are the legacy, and less efficient, IPsec and the newer, and more advanced, DTLS.

The Impact of 5G on Enterprise Network Monitoring

Kentik

Performance is a key driver behind the movement, with 5G enabling: Greater throughput -- mobile broadband with bandwidth ranging from 50 Mbps to 10 Gbps. In these cases, remote enterprise sites may not need the highest bandwidth but require a deterministic quality of service. Lower latency -- ultra-low latency down to 1 millisecond.
