Multiprotocol label switching protocol (MPLS) based networks, can no longer answer the business needs of a global enterprise. The Disadvantages of MPLS MPLS has long been the go-to solution for connecting distant locations across the globe. Software-defined Wide Area Networks ( SD-WAN ) can get the job done. Here is why.

Some of its limitations includes: Cost: MPLS connections are expensive and have hard caps on available bandwidth. If an organizations bandwidth needs exceed the current hardware capacity, new or additional hardware is required, and this can be a slow and expensive process.

Companies needing to connect their users to the services in the cloud, who have been using a wide-area network (WAN) with MPLS for security, are seeing the benefits of using a software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) for connectivity. Bandwidth-intensive traffic, bound for the Internet and cloud, are backhauled across the MPLS WAN.

With SD-WAN, organizations can deliver more responsive, more predictable applications at lower cost in less time than the managed MPLS services traditionally used by the enterprise. In an SD-WAN, a specialized appliance at the sites edge connects to the network services, typically MPLS and at least two Internet services.

That includes adding in high-value data such as threat feed and threat modeling, routing, topology, and other important networking information to model answers to difficult questions. Flow can also be used to understand consumption of bandwidth in a more granular manner.
