A Unified WAN Edge, Powered by a Single OS, to Transform and Secure the WAN

As the use of business-critical, cloud-based applications continues to increase, organizations with a distributed infrastructure of remote offices and an expanding remote workforce need to adapt. The most effective solution is to switch from static, performance-inhibited wide-area networks (WANs) to software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) architectures. Traditional WANs may utilize SLA-backed private multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) or leased line links to an organizations’ main data centers for all application and security needs. But that comes at a premium price for connectivity. While a legacy hub-and-spoke architecture may provide centralized protection, it increases latency and slows down network performance to distributed cloud services for application access and compute. The result is operational complexity and limited visibility associated with multiple point products. This scenario adds significant management overhead and difficulties, especially when trying to troubleshoot and resolve issues.
