From the backward traditional WAN to SD-WAN—Vecloud

The foundation of any digital transformation process may be a highly scalable, secure, and reliable network that integrates cloud-based technologies and can manage large amounts of data that can be accessed through a range of different devices and stakeholders in different locations.
"Traditional WANs have been doing very well for many years. However, the emerging cloud technology, BYOD and the higher demands on the network through increased traffic, mean that many older WANs are no longer suitable Use."
"Because WAN is a highway of business traffic, it is vital to understand the key to this problem before embarking on any ambitious transformation project."
Traditional WAN is essentially about working in business branches. Provide a physical connection between the organization and the data center instead of focusing on seamlessly connecting business applications with users. Making the network perform this operation is complicated and time-consuming, and the scale may only increase.
In addition, traditional WANs are constrained by inflexible routers and switches. These routers and switches are expensive, difficult to maintain and resource-intensive, and as the network grows, they will only reduce the responsiveness and agility of the network.
The cumbersome security framework of the traditional WAN will cause a burden. Upgrading the old WAN is a arduous and arduous task.
Unless organizations can solve these WAN issues, digital transformation will be more than just a challenge. It will be impossible.
Launching software-defined networking (SDN) around 2010 and applying its updates to wide area networks (SD-WAN) can provide organizations with unparalleled network visibility, control, and reliability, as well as agility for enterprises. Continuous development to meet the organization's digital transformation journey and all the needs involved.
If businesses increasingly rely on new applications and services to increase productivity, enhance customer experience, and generate new revenue streams, applications must perform reliably.
"Organizations that want to undergo digital transformation are often hypnotized by shiny new applications, but the reality is that if the basic network is insufficient, these applications will not be able to reach their full potential."
"Therefore, organizations aiming for digital transformation should first consider whether their existing WAN is available, especially whether SD-WAN coverage can provide the necessary enhancements."
Insufficient or unreliable networks will only lead to poor user experience and Completely offset the positive impact of any changes.
"Currently, based on network requirements, most business organizations are not ready to meet the needs of digital transformation. They need to find a network platform to achieve the necessary positive business changes. The answer is software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN)."
