Rebuild the enterprise WAN, software-defined
SD-WAN manages multiple WAN links in a software-defined way, converging circuits, internet and wireless multi-path at the underlay, and using FEC and packet duplication to resist loss and improve quality. With traffic encryption, network slicing and application awareness for security, SD-WAN offers better value, faster provisioning and stronger visibility than traditional MPLS circuits.
Key advantages
High-performance transport
Underlay converges circuits, internet and wireless multi-path, with FEC and packet duplication to reduce latency and loss and improve experience.
