SD-WAN From An Expert

In today’s distributed, cloud-centric world, SD-WAN has revolutionised the enterprise WAN by bringing much-needed agility to the otherwise static and inflexible traditional hub-and-spoke, networking architecture for branch site connectivity. An SD-WAN architecture uses software defined networking (SDN) principles to separate the data plane from the control plane in the WAN. It abstracts the underlying transport networks (including MPLS, Ethernet, wireless, and satellite) and shifts control intelligence from customer premises equipment (CPE) or edge devices into a centralised, software-based controller. A graphical user interface (GUI)-based management platform allows network administrators to define application-specific business policies that the controller translates into routing policies enforced in the edge devices.
