SD-WAN Software

SD-WAN is a predefined policy-based route optimization approach to simplify WAN network to deliver network services over Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), broadband, and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network by leveraging Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology. SD-WAN Software helps companies in lowering costs, optimizing network, providing higher security, accelerating the Time to Market (TTM), reducing network complexities, and improving overall efficiency. Digital transformation across the globe has created many opportunities for the SD-WAN Software for government market. With the implementation of SD-WAN, networks have become easier to operate, manage, and maintain. SD-WAN software plays a key role in digital transformation not only by saving cost on network infrastructure, but by improving the performance of the applications. There are various use cases of SD-WAN software solutions in the government vertical. National security agencies, civil agencies (such as departments of income tax, revenue, and digital transformation), and defense agencies are using SD-WAN Software to ensure complete confidentiality of nation’s information and provide strong security to the citizens.
