Cisco SD-WAN: Managing Branch, Data Centre and Cloud From One Place

Cisco SD-WAN is a software-defined WAN solution that manages the wide area network between branches, data centres and the cloud from a single point, with application-aware routing and integrated security. It uses MPLS, broadband and mobile links together and carries traffic over the best link according to each application's sensitivity to latency and packet loss.

Core Capabilities

Encrypted tunnels and segmentation: Inter-branch traffic runs through encrypted tunnels, and different business units are isolated from each other on the same infrastructure.

Zero-touch provisioning: Policy is defined centrally and pushed to all branches; a new branch comes online without an on-site specialist.

Direct cloud access: SaaS and cloud applications are reached from the nearest point without hauling traffic to headquarters.

Benefits for Organisations

Expensive private-line capacity can be reduced, application performance is measured per link, and connectivity problems are resolved faster with central visibility.
