“If you are among the nearly 70% of enterprise organisations that have yet to experience the benefits of SD-WAN technology, don’t worry, we understand,” says Pete Nel, Business Development Executive at Duxbury Networking, local distributor for Extreme Networks.
The landscape is diverse and the technology is ever-changing. The software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is taking off in enterprises of all sizes, and for good reason. Simplifying administration with a centralised policy-driven approach, the SD-WAN is transport independent, whether MPLS, internet, WiFi, 3G, 4G or 5G and prioritises traffic according to policy.
“It increases business agility and speeds provisioning, while driving down the total cost of the WAN. The first generation of SD-WAN was really about reducing costs and replacing MPLS with broadband and dedicated internet access. Now we are in the phase where SD-WAN is not about reducing costs, it’s about business continuity,” says Nel.
Extreme Networks is hosting a webinar on 15 and 17 February where delegates will learn the top trends in SD-WAN technology, what cloud-native SD-WAN is and why it’s important, as well as explore the key tenets of the right SD-WAN solution.
“In this webinar, you will learn the top trends in SD-WAN technology, what cloud-native SD-WAN is and why it’s important, as well as explore the key tenets of the right SD-WAN solution,” says Nel.
The webinar will cover:
- Introduction to SD-WAN technology;
- How top industry experts see the SD-WAN market evolving in 2022;
- Why a cloud-native SD-WAN platform can make all the difference; and
- Top five questions you should be prepared to answer when picking an SD-WAN provider.
