With SD-WAN (software defined wide area network), the burden of traffic
management has been removed from physical devices and is instead
centrally managed by software. SD-WAN is a simpler and easier way for
network administrators to use available bandwidth more efficiently and
to prioritise network traffic so that critical applications receive the
highest levels of performance.
Enterprises can quickly and easily reroute bandwidth to specific locations on the network or to applications that might need a temporary boost. With SD-WAN, bandwidth boosts or traffic re-prioritisation becomes as simple as pushing a button.
To provide increased access to bandwidth, an SD-WAN can also use both the primary and back-up connection simultaneously. Typically an enterprise’s back-up line will only be used in the event of the primary connection going down. The SD-WAN cleverly makes use of both connections and their respective bandwidth, providing a useful boost where necessary.
