Cisco SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a solution designed to optimize and secure connectivity across various networks. It provides several advantages including cost reduction from MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), improved application performance by leveraging multiple types of connections (broadband, LTE, etc.), and simplified operations through centralized management.
Cost Reduction from MPLS: Cisco SD-WAN allows enterprises to utilize less expensive broadband internet connections alongside MPLS. This hybrid approach reduces dependency on costly MPLS circuits, significantly lowering WAN costs.
Improved Application Performance: By using application-aware routing, SD-WAN directs traffic across the best available path, ensuring better performance for critical applications.
Simplified Operations: Cisco SD-WAN centralizes network management and policy implementation, simplifying network operations and reducing the complexity associated with traditional WANs.
