Managed SD WAN services with a Cloud-First Approach

Managed SD-WAN is a deployment type suitable for enterprises to ensure a secure WAN network. SD-WAN can be deployed with a DIY approach but a fully managed service is more optimal just like public cloud services.

Enterprises consume a managed SD-WAN vs having to procure and deploy the necessary hardware, software, and WAN connectivity. They don’t need to staff and train for this deployment, reducing risk and lowering TCO.

A traditional WAN is optimized to connect branches to the HQ and data center and relies on less flexible WAN connectivity like MPLS. A managed SD-WAN is a cloud-delivered service that leverages central orchestration and automation to flexibly control connectivity.

A managed SD-WAN leverages central orchestration and management to flexibly control connectivity. It is a cloud-delivered service that additionally offers application optimization, security, visibility, and multi-cloud connectivity.

MPLS may be one method of connecting sites across a managed SD-WAN. It is not an either-or. However, a managed SD-WAN provides an ideal foundation for enterprises to more easily migrate from their existing MPLS service.

A managed SD-WAN offers the benefits of the cloud consumption model, including greater flexibility, scalability, simplicity, lower TCO, as well as lower risk than trying to deploy with a DIY approach.
