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.

MPLS also doesnt address cloud or mobile traffic, which is a major issue for enterprises. Security policies for MPLS based networks need to be managed at each site and the various appliances must be continuously updated and upgraded. Check that the SD-WAN can also connect cloud datacenters, cloud applications, and mobile users.

Typically, they have the in-house expertise to manage their existing wide area network and feel comfortable adapting to the new technologies of the SD-WAN. For example, the missing components that a service provider can provide, such as security services and an SLA-backed network backbone, are significant gaps in the solution.

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. As such, SD-WAN devices require the deployment of firewalls and other security tools in addition to SD-WAN appliances. The technologies are similar.
