Secure business continuity and reduce cost with Elastic Secure SD-WAN

Today, most businesses are highly dependent that their offices, employees—and even vehicles—are connected at all times and that resources can be accessed easily. And not simply accessed but connected to securely, with a high degree of protection to ensure business continuity.

To achieve this aim, companies in the past rented private leased lines or used MPLS solutions. These solutions proved to be limiting and costly. They often came with a lock-in to a single internet service provider (ISP). Requirements for flexibility and reduced costs have resulted in usage of virtual private networking (VPN) setup over common internet connections on each site. Trends such as Cloud, increased use of bandwidth intense applications, increased number of distributed offices and remote workers have introduced packaged solutions called Software Defined—Wide Area Networks—or SD-WAN.

In this paper, we’ll discuss enabling technologies, products and use cases which comprise a full elastic SD-WAN solution. However, the goal is clear, it’s all about securing business continuity and reducing cost.
