SD-WAN & Intelligent WAN Management
In the era of digital transformation, reliable and secure connectivity has become the key to business sustainability. Traditional network infrastructures often face challenges such as downtime, high latency, dependency on a single ISP, and security vulnerabilities to cyber threats.
📌 SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) & Intelligent WAN Management are technologies that enable dynamic network traffic management, ensuring faster, secure, and cost-effective connectivity by optimizing multiple connection paths such as MPLS, broadband, LTE/5G, and VSAT.
Without a NGFW solution, organizations face the following challenges:
High Downtime
High downtime occurs when a single connection path fails without an automatic failover, disrupting business operations.
Suboptimal Application Performance
Applications suffer from poor performance because the data paths are not optimized for cloud services and remote users.
Weak Network Security
Weak network security increases the vulnerability to data breaches and cyberattacks, threatening sensitive information.
High Operational Costs
Operational costs are high due to the reliance on costly MPLS links, impacting the overall budget.
Key Features & Capabilities
SD-WAN & Intelligent WAN Management optimize traffic, enhance security, and reduce costs.
