According to the Department of Transportation, the estimate for vehicle miles of travel for 2022 was 3,169.4 billion in the U.S alone. Wow! What about those same statistics applied globally? Even better, imagine all the traffic generated by the worlds daily business data needs—mobile, cloud, video, software and beyond. Those numbers are staggering. With so much at stake, how do you keep all that critical data moving in the right direction, and more importantly, keep it secure?
No matter how you slice and dice it, there is little doubt organizations need new solutions that address their ginormous data needs and the connections that tie them together. Digital acceleration, work-from-anywhere, and cybercrime are some of the most important factors driving companies to rethink their existing infrastructures.
To answer this demand, an increasing number of companies are exploring software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) as a solution to address their must haves. Organizations are increasingly deploying SD-WAN to replace older, outdated wide-area network (WAN) infrastructures. As traffic and cybercrime threaten to clog and undermine network stability how does SD-WAN rise to the challenge?
