[SD-WAN is] more redundant, more cost-effective, and by no way, shape or means less effective than MPLS.
Adam Lion, Network Engineer, Lincoln Investments
Challenges
Expensive Bandwidth
Delivering increased bandwidth to meet SaaS and cloud services growth is expensive, time consuming and comes with long lead times.
Rigid Architecture
Traditional WAN designs are optimized to backhaul branch traffic to data centers using closed networks and restrictive class-of-service assignments.
Branch Complexity
More distributed sites and remote workers, agility demands for existing offices, and cloud service adoption make the WAN complex to deploy, upgrade, and manage.
Risk of Security Breaches
Unsecured Internet and compromised transactions leave the network open to intrusion, result in data breaches, and can expose customer information.
How We Can Help
CLOUD: Internet-Only SD-WAN
Deploy VMware SD-WAN with Internet links only. Aggregate multiple internet links into a pool of resources to optimize connectivity and reliability across the branch network. Securely access SaaS applications, IaaS providers, and the data center on internet links with VMware SD-WAN’s built-in security features such as stateful firewall and VPN, end-to-end encryption, and cloud security.
CLOUD: Hybrid SD-WAN
Deploy VMware SD-WAN across a branch network with existing MPLS and Internet links. Aggregate WAN links into a virtual unified pool of resources to optimize existing links and bandwidth. Ensure app performance, decrease latency with DMPO and deep application recognition. Improve reliability, enhance user experience, securely access cloud resources, and centrally manage security across the network.
ON-PREMISES: Hybrid SD-WAN
Deploy VMware SD-WAN across the branch network with existing WAN links. Host the VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator, Edge, and Controller on-premises for comprehensive control and compliance. Securely access SaaS applications, IaaS providers, and the enterprise data center from the branch by connecting to the on-premises VMware SD-WAN Edge Hub.
