In 2014, Gartner analysts wrote a Foundational Report (G00260732, Communication Hubs Improve WAN Performance) providing guidance to customers on deploying communication hubs, or cloud-based network hubs, outside the enterprise data center. Also, companies need the ability to prioritize certain types of traffic across the WAN.

This is because datacenter firewalls dont just address the need for secure Internet access, which is the main SSE capability. Rather, these firewalls are also used for securing WAN access, datacenter LAN segmentation and ensuring reliability and high availability to network traffic. Download the White Paper 3.

Heres a list of the key acronyms to help you keep up with the latest in WAN transformation. By choosing the best available path, SD-WAN provides better performance and reliability than broadband Internet.

The outside subnet will be used for the appliances WAN interface, and inside for the LAN. Once inside the NGFW management console, basic firewall forwarding rules can be configured for LAN to Internet connectivity. From here, an outside and inside transport subnet will need to be selected from the chosen VNET.

This could mean the users are saturating the internet connectivity or that they’ve saturated the LAN (or maybe WAN). When configuring traffic sources, the flow data is sent directly to Kentik over the internet, or it can go through kProxy, a Kentik client that encrypts the flow or Syslog data before sending it over the internet.

In the past, most of an organizations employee and IT resources were located on the enterprise LAN. Both users and IT resources are moving off of the corporate LAN, creating new employee and service network edges. This mix of on-prem and cloud-based infrastructure complicates the corporate WAN.

The Corporate WAN is Rapidly Changing In the past, the majority of an organizations IT assets were located on-prem. The company managed its own data centers, and employees were primarily connected directly to the corporate LAN. Often, these solutions adapt poorly to securing the modern, distributed corporate WAN.

This has necessitated a rethink of the WAN architecture. This has led enterprises to adopt SD-WAN technology, which enables them to eschew bringing all traffic back to a central data center and route traffic directly to branches or the cloud, as needed. Direct Internet access (DIA) is enabled as well.

Until just a few years ago, enterprise networks were predominantly comprised solely of one or more private data centers connected to a series of campuses and branch offices by a private WAN that was based on MPLS VPN technology from a major telecom carrier. The effect on network traffic is profound. But cloud realities break that assumption.
