BrandPost: Don’t Give in to “Un-Fortunate” SD-WAN Tactics
SD-WAN is the talk of the town these days. And rightly so – it's a fantastic technology that improves application performance by allowing enterprises to broaden the use of faster, less expensive broadband Internet services in addition to private MPLS connections while delivering superior end user quality of experience.
Unlike traditional router-centric approaches, managing WAN connections is extremely simple – and automated – with SD-WAN. This means less time spent executing complex CLI commands and troubleshooting network impairments. Having said that, if a vendor tells you that this impressive technology is "free," it raises eyebrows. If it doesn't, it should. If you are not wondering what's their endgame, beware, as you could be in for the ride.
