Challenges for Business Services
The challenges for business services are familiar to most enterprises: how to shift to the cloud without affecting business growth, flexibility or security.
Modern Infrastructure
Transform your WAN with any transport of choice, eliminating legacy routers and firewalls, costly MPLS connectivity and backhauling traffic to the data center.
Advanced Security
Enable secure branch-to-cloud access for applications in multicloud SaaS and IaaS environments, protect against vulnerabilities and accelerate your SASE journey.
Automation
Quickly deploy and orchestrate applications and policies to thousands of sites for business efficiency and faster time to market – with minimal IT resources.
Cloud On-Ramp
Optimize multi-cloud connectivity with integrated security and consistent application performance.
Features
Cloud-First
Enterprises can confidently and economically interconnect with multiple cloud and SaaS providers with VMware SD-WAN through a global network of cloud-hosted gateways. SD-WAN and SASE simplify and automate multi-cloud interconnects. They baseline connection performance via a centralized management platform that also communicates via APIs of multiple cloud and SaaS providers.
Application Assurance
VMware Dynamic Multipath Optimization™ ensures the availability and performance of mission-critical applications, even with degraded network conditions or congestion. By combining application recognition, traffic prioritization, and shaping with the ability to measure network path performance, the solution steers traffic on a packet-by-packet basis to achieve the highest quality of experience for end users.
Intrinsically Secure
Through a cloud security model that encompasses the SASE principles of user identity, device posture, and network location, VMware SD-WAN can unify network and application security policies for on-site and remote workers. The solution’s comprehensive suite of security features includes contextual access, network security, application protection, network segmentation and service chaining to additional cloud-hosted security services, to align with the latest in zero trust concepts.
Operational Simplicity
From initial deployment to day-to-day management, VMware SD-WAN simplifies operations through a cloud-hosted management platform that centralizes network and security policy creation, distribution, and control. The solution visualizes application delivery performance while employing AIOps to suggest remediation actions for LAN, WAN, or data center devices to streamline troubleshooting.
