Why Businesses Are Switching to SD-WAN

Written by Uniti Fiber

March 28, 2021


Adoption, Rising edge computing demands, and exploding data volumes. The greatest competitor to your business is your own network. And most businesses are losing. Don’t just meet today’s heightened network demands. Beat them. Enter SD-WAN…

SD-WAN is an intelligent accelerator for your private network. It operates agnostic to the type of underlying connectivity. An orchestrator engine in the cloud provides a smart brain to SD-Wan Edge units that live at your branch locations. These edge units typically serve much like routers. The orchestrator provides a single pane of glass to set policy configurations on edge through a secure web portal. One place one screen, one click…

A secure cloud overlay network then connects the cloud orchestrator to the edge units and delivers a protected onramp to cloud infrastructure and application providers.

What does this mean for your business?
Centralized network, zero touch management, traffic path optimization, connection redundancy and performance, faster branch provisioning, real-time remediation of performance issues, and smarter digital transformation?

Great, but what does it really mean for your business?
Increased IT efficiency, accelerated network performance, smarter network consumption, and improved application performance. In a landscape where performance matters, SD-WAN is no longer a consideration— it’s an imperative.
