MPLS cost reduction is the target of the emerging SD-WAN market that is bustling with solutions looking to take the corporate wide area network to a whole new level. MPLS isnt encrypted by default: MPLS relies on the carrier private network for security because the data doesnt flow on the public Internet.

That means making sure the wide area network (WAN) that connects branch offices, data centers, cloud services and SaaS applications can handle the connectivity needs of digitally empowered global organizations. Software-defined Wide Area Networks ( SD-WAN ) can get the job done. Here is why.

Network flow data is quickly emerging as an essential source of data for analyzing network performance, optimizing infrastructure, and detecting malicious traffic. This wasn’t the case just a couple of years ago when EMA issued its Network Management Megatrends 2014 report. Flow data for WAN monitoring.

Weve been discussing the impact the dissolving perimeter has had on networking and IT. Rather than IT playing this kind of shell game on itself, IT should evaluate WAN architectures holistically and look at the quality of experience, availability, security, cost, agility, manageability, and extensibility of the network.

Performance is a key driver behind the movement, with 5G enabling: Greater throughput -- mobile broadband with bandwidth ranging from 50 Mbps to 10 Gbps. More connection density -- 1 million connected mobile devices in less than half of a square mile as compared to around 2K with 4G cellular networks. Network Monitoring Needs.

The widespread adoption of Software-Defined Wide-Area-Network ( SD-WAN ) in recent years has caused many to wonder whether WAN optimization is still necessary. Bandwidth: Bandwidth limitations are addressed by minimizing the amount of data passed across the network. The technologies are similar.

Weve long touted the benefits of a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) so its encouraging to see that enterprises are increasingly recognizing its value. With the evolution of the cloud, networks directly affect our access to business critical applications, data, social media services, video conferences and more.

No longer an emerging technology, cloud computing is now used in everything from applications, storage, and networking. SD-WAN is used to connect enterprise networks over large geographic distances more efficiently across any available data transport, such as MPLS, LTE, or broadband.

The enterprise needs a network that can adapt, offering availability levels to meet each type of office requirements. MPLS networks have been the backbone of enterprise networks for years. MPLS networks are known and relied upon for high uptime, with a target of five-nines (99.999%) uptime. What are your options?

More and more IT managers are interested in converging SD-WAN with network security and for good reason. An agile, efficient, and ubiquitous security architecture is essential if organizations are to fully transform their networks. Networking and security are fully converged, providing a more scalable, more efficient SD-WAN.

This means that corporate networks must change as well. The answer Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs). SD-WAN brings unparalleled agility and cost savings to networking. SD-WAN does this by separating applications from the underlying network services with a policy-based, virtual overlay.

Networking is an enterprise IT discipline where being conservative is often the way to go. After all, without the network, todays technology-powered businesses are dead in the water. The network doesnt have to be totally down, though, to disrupt the business. MPLS is a 20 years old enterprise networking technology.

Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs) promised to address the high costs, rigidity and limitations of private MPLS services. SD-WANs reduce bandwidth costs, no doubt, but enterprises are still left having to address important issues around cloud, mobility, and security.

While SD-WANs are a valuable first step towards evolving the wide area network , they only address a small part of the dissolved enterprise perimeter challenge. Networking, security, and mobility technologies are deployed and operated independently. As such, critical information becomes siloed behind disparate tools.

SD-WANs are the confluence of four technology trends: software-defined networking in wide area networks (WANs), commodity hardware for customer premise equipment, Internet connectivity for business applications, and enterprise IT hybrid multi-cloud migration.

The market for SD-WAN has been driven in part by its ability to reduce bandwidth costs and improve the performance of cloud access. Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. Instead, we must bring networking and security disciplines closer together.

Cooperation on Network Analytics Brings Better Business Outcomes. For CIOs, the focus is on operational issues such as network and application performance, uptime, and workflows. At the intersection of CIO and CISO issues and concerns is the network and its underlying infrastructure. What should CIOs and CISOs be doing instead?

Align the Network to Business Requirements When organizations purchase computers for employees we try to maximize our investment by aligning device cost and configuration to user function. But for many companies, managing their networks in this way is too expensive and not very scalable. The same is true with malware.
