Deploying SaaS applications in the process of enterprise digitalization can help enterprises achieve the goals of speed, flexibility, low cost, scalability and high security. However, when enterprises use a large number of SaaS applications, they find that the access speed slows down, especially overseas SaaS services often face the situation of access freezes and failures.
In summary, the following factors mainly affect the access speed of enterprise SaaS applications:
-
Network latency: Data transmission across oceans or international borders needs to pass through multiple network nodes, and network congestion may occur during this process, resulting in slower data transmission speeds.
-
Bandwidth limitation: With a large number of enterprise visitors, the Internet bandwidth used may not be enough to support all users to access SaaS applications at the same time.
-
Server area: SaaS servers are far away, especially when they are located overseas, and may face problems such as local network problems and access restrictions to data centers, which may affect the speed and reliability of enterprises' access to SaaS services.
Enterprises can use SD-WAN technology to optimize and manage the above network problems.
SD-WAN technology can help enterprises optimize the access speed and reliability of overseas SaaS applications, thereby reducing the problem of lag.
SD-WAN is like a highway, while a traditional network is a busy urban road. If an enterprise has many employees who need to use various SaaS applications, it will cause traffic congestion just like vehicles on urban roads, which will seriously affect the work efficiency of employees and business processes. Using SD-WAN technology is as smooth as driving on a highway.
SD-WAN can intelligently distribute network data traffic to multiple network links, and select the best path according to real-time conditions, thereby providing faster, stable, and reliable network connections, ensuring that SaaS applications can run at optimal performance .
Therefore, more and more enterprises adopt SD-WAN technology to improve access to SaaS applications, especially overseas application acceleration, and improve the efficiency of their digital transformation.
