SD-WAN Architecture: Secure Your Network for Scale and the Cloud

With the ever-changing demands on the healthcare industry, organizations need the ability to provide high quality service for their employees and patients. Healthcare organizations must adhere to strict regulatory compliance for protecting patient data. With outdated IT infrastructure and limited IT staff, this is difficult. A new networking solution is needed and the answer is SD-WAN. With VMware SD-WAN™ by VeloCloud®, healthcare organizations can deploy a secure network that eliminates business-impacting network outages and ensures high quality application performance, while complying with healthcare security regulations.

In this webinar we will discuss:
 
• Trends driving the digital transformation in healthcare organizations
• Network challenges that healthcare organizations are facing
• How SD-WAN can solve healthcare network and business challenges
• How SD-WAN protects patient records and ensures compliance
• Case studies: specific uses of VMware SD-WAN by healthcare customers

The impact of cloud computing on enterprise data centers is irreversible. In the 2019 Frost & Sullivan Enterprise Cloud survey, 54% of the IT decision makers agreed to the statement, “the cloud is the most critical part of our digital transformation strategy.” This is not surprising as cloud adoption rates continue to grow every year, with nearly 60% of the IT decision makers indicating they currently use cloud infrastructure as a service in their organization. As enterprises embrace hybrid and multi-cloud architectures to support distributed employees, suppliers and partners, there is an increased focus on application and network security. The traditional wide area network (WAN) architecture with the traffic being backhauled to headquarter location before reaching the end user does not work for the current cloud-centric era. Thanks to software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) technology, the enterprise WAN can now transform to be more cloud friendly, and user friendly, ensuring anytime, anywhere access to enterprise applications.

As cloud becomes an integral part of your business's digital transformation strategy, you need to redesign your WAN to ensure a successful cloud strategy. Join us on this webinar to learn about the key trends driving enterprise adoption of SD-WAN; the impact of evolving enterprise hybrid IT architecture on the enterprise WAN, and how VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud can help your organization deploy an optimized and secure WAN to support your cloud strategy.

Retailers face numerous challenges as they seek to digitally transform their businesses. They need to worry not only about storefronts, but also headquarters, manufacturing and distribution sites, pop-up shops, and ecommerce. Generating a high quality and seamless user experience that meets the increasing consumer demand for convenience is key for the next-generation retail environment. VMware SD-WAN™ by VeloCloud® plays a crucial role in enabling a retail revolution by providing reliable, cost effective network connectivity, increased bandwidth efficiency, secure customer data, and rapid deployment for new sites. Hear from Meriplex and VeloCloud, now part of VMware experts about why SD-WAN is necessary for retail organizations’ network strategy.

SD-WAN has been in the market for over five years now, but questions continue to arise with regards to use cases, network migration, interoperability with other systems, and more. In this webinar, we will highlight the contents of “SD-WAN 1:1 - The What, Why, and How,” a book written by VMware SD-WAN’s most experienced and knowledgeable systems engineers who sell, deploy, and engage with SD-WAN on a daily basis. Of the fourteen authors, two will join us to talk about their experience in putting this book together and will address customer pain points and the solutions for that pain that is addressed by SD-WAN.

IT organizations are adopting multi-cloud architecture to allow applications to run on the best platform, regardless of location. Traditional WAN is unable to support the requirements established by new cloud architectures, and without updating their networks, enterprises cannot take advantage of the benefits of cloud. In response, SD-WAN has become the primary on-ramp for branch and edge communications to and from the cloud. With an architecture built specifically to support cloud migration, SD-WAN platforms enable more secure, reliable, high-quality connectivity to a variety of cloud platforms, including Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform. In this session, we will go into detail on how VMware SD-WAN™ by VeloCloud® acts as an enabler for your organization’s multi-cloud strategy, whichever one you use.
