Most companies are moving away from the inflexible legacy WAN networks in a world where the global enterprise depends on optimized workflows and shared data. They are shifting towards the internet-centric model, resulting in the rapid adoption of SD-WAN.
Where to start with SD-WAN?
Before you think about implementing the SD-WAN, it is essential to know the critical requirements for your business. It includes legacy applications that may rely on any SaaS, cloud-based, or data center and hub site.
What is the best access technology to use?
SD-WAN technology is great because it builds secure VPN tunnels over any access technology, whether DIA, broadband, MPLS, or even 4G/5G cellular connectivity. SD-WAN helps you leverage multiple access options to improve the user experience and site reliability.
How to prepare the site for SD-WAN deployment?
It is best to site the readiness for a successful deployment. Like the other internet-based service, a site needs to be able to receive both the SD-WAN router and the internet access lines. It may include physical requirements like adequate power, a place to stack and rack equipment, patch cords, good power, and more.
Time for the deployment of SD-WAN
Each SD-WAN deployment varies depending on the customer’s applications and needs. The design sessions and the turnup schedules dictate the time it takes to complete a project from start to finish. After the agreement of all these elements, the deployment usually takes a few hours or less.
How to optimize SD-WAN connectivity
After determining the underlay circuits, the traffic steering policy, QoS, SaaS optimization techniques, and application routing could be helpful in further enhancing the performance of SD-WAN. These are all part of the typical SD-WAN deployment. It also helps to make sure about the high-quality service.
