The WAN landscape is evolving at a rapid pace, driven by demands of cloud, mobility, and globalization. However, the rise of SaaS applications, hybrid work, and global operations has created new challenges for MPLS-based networks, as their once-reliable architecture now fails to meet the demands of modern, cloud-centric environments.

What is cloud networking? Cloud networking is the IT infrastructure necessary to host or interact with applications and services in public or private clouds, typically via the internet. It’s an umbrella term for the devices and strategies that connect all variations of on-premise, edge, and cloud-based services.

Happy To Announce the Birth of a New Technology – SD-WAN It wasnt that long ago that we oohed and ahhed over the brand-new technology called SD-WAN. But just as were getting used to the toddling SD-WAN, along came yet another even more exciting newborn, the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). Thats so yesteryear or is it?
