In the face of rising bandwidth costs and the limitations of MPLS , IT teams turn to SD-WAN, a more flexible and cost-effective solution that leverages public internet links to improve performance and reliability. Operational Efficiency Managing disparate point solutionsSD-WAN devices, firewalls, VPNs, etc.creates unnecessary complexity.

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.

The bandwidth is expensive (relative to Internet capacity) and often limited or unavailable on some routes, forcing companies to either pay exorbitant fees to connect locations or, more likely, resort to Internet-based VPNs, complicating network design. Let ‘ s look at the various areas of savings SD-WAN can offer and the resulting ROI.

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.

Other problems, including extensive deployment times (as much as 90 days) and high bandwidth costs (think double or more their Internet equivalents), make MPLS incompatible with evolving enterprise requirements. The MPLS architectures of most enterprise WANs adds far too much latency to Internet- and cloud-destined traffic.

The market for SD-WAN has been driven in part by its ability to reduce bandwidth costs and improve the performance of cloud access. Advanced threat protection addresses these risks with various technologies, such as next generation firewall (NGFW) , Secure Web Gateway (SWG) , malware protection , and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS).

Unlike dynamic routes, learned through dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) or EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol), static routes require the network administrator to specify the next hop or destination IP address. A static route is a manually configured path in a routing table.
