Traditional WANs can be prone to faults, even during normal operations. SD-WAN is designed for fail over and to choose best or optimized path at all times.

Without SD-WAN provides a clear separation between management-plane, control plane and data plane. This enables each component to work independently and efficiently, as well as facilitates scaling of components based on the network needs.

SD-WAN routers are configured and managed using zero touch provisioning (ZTP), cutting device and maintenance operational expenses.

One of the most expensive IT budget line items is the WAN, with costs exceeding US$100 per mbps. This can result in insufficient bandwidth at branches and other locations, leading to poor user experiences. SD-WAN powered by WIN can provide 10 times the bandwidth at half the cost.

Many networking cloud solutions offer a hodgepodge of options, a lack of consistency and a poor user experience. SD-WAN—with its optimized performance for major SaaS applications—provides agile solutions to onboard public cloud access on Amazon Web Services® (AWS) and Microsoft , Azure® ensuring great user experiences.

Without dependable performance, business-critical applications can crash. SD-WAN meets tough service level agreements (SLAs), even during link outages and other network events.

Existing WANs lead to infrastructure sprawl with their complex amalgamation of devices and appliances. SD-WAN enables faster, easier WAN deployment and operation, as well as faster performance while using less bandwidth, and helps you deploy new revenue-generating services in minutes—not months.

Given the increased sophistication of cyber threats, traditional WANs can leave businesses unprotected. SD-WAN employs the zero-trust model. Every component mutually authenticates each other, all edge devices are authorized before they are allowed into the network, and every packet is encrypted using SSL and IP Security (IPsec) technologies.
