MANAGED SD-WAN: THE FUTURE OF DISTRIBUTED WORKFORCES

Technological disruption happens all the time. Organizations need to be on top of the changes that are happening within their industries if they are to remain competitive. Across all industries, companies of all sizes are seeing their workforces become more readily distributed. Employees are working from home — whether from across a city or across the globe. Not only are employees required to connect to their organization’s network, but they also must be able to connect with each other.

A distributed workforce presents many unique and largely unprecedented challenges, relative to the way that employees connect to and interact with their networks, as well as greatly increased security concerns.

Software-dened networkings in wide area networks (SD-WANs) are able to facilitate distributed workforces without increasing the nancial or administrative burden on an organization. Through managed SD-WANs organizations are able to take advantage of economical broadband connections, track and consolidate network trac and generally improve application availability and user experience. Managed SD-WANs will make it easier for organizations to adopt and experience the benets of SD-WAN without the need to learn a new technology.
