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

SD-WAN is changing the face of networking, ushering in an era that is not limited by bandwidth, location of data and apps, and hardware. But as the technology becomes more pervasive, so does the amount of SD-WAN options available to those seeking the solution. In this webinar, we’ll take a closer look at the architecture of SD-WAN, why it’s important in the decision process, and the seven key questions that a network organization should ask when evaluating an SD-WAN solution.

In this webinar, we go a level deeper into SD-WAN Migration by focusing on its architecture and its ability to adapt to the varied network requirements of global enterprises. Topics will also include best practices and recommendations for a successful SD-WAN transformation for both regional and worldwide deployments.

The increased deployment of cloud applications, storage, hosted voice, video, mobile applications, and the emergence of IoT has challenged IT and business managers to provide high-quality WAN services to the branch. Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) offers compelling advantages for distributed organizations with critical branch operations, including the benefits of business agility, optimized application performance, and increased bandwidth efficiencies.

This webinar discusses the emerging role of SD-WAN as the key element for branch and remote user connectivity, including:

-Multi-cloud optimization
-Network security
-Cloud-based intelligence and management

An over-the-top deployment enables a simple and reliable way for users to take advantage of cloud transformation. But making the transition to SD-WAN can seem overwhelming, but in reality, is not as complex as one would imagine. In this webinar, viewers will learn the best practices on how their organizations can adopt SD-WAN at scale without disrupting their existing networks.

With an ever-increasing amount of enterprise traffic driven by Public Cloud SaaS applications, security has never been more complex. Direct access of applications over the internet, while inexpensive, does not provide Enterprise-grade performance and simultaneously leaves the network susceptible to attacks. Furthermore, the traditional approach to branch connectivity involves a convoluted backhaul of traffic to a centralized firewall located in the corporate HQ or Data Center before accessing the internet.

Why does it need to be this complicated? The short answer… it doesn’t.

Join this webinar for an overview — and a deep dive — of an integrated approach to wide area networking that combines best-of-breed security and SD-WAN solutions. Experts from Palo Alto Networks and VeloCloud, now part of VMware, will discuss next generation Enterprise WAN and outline an approach that makes it simple to assure the performance and security of applications, dramatically simplify deployments with various options, and cut costs.

Huge demand for cloud services means huge demand for wide area network (WAN) connectivity, security, and bandwidth. It has also changed enterprise network architectures and created new challenges for Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and IT managers in charge of building networks and purchasing bandwidth for their company. The need for fast, secure access to cloud applications, demand for services and app agility, and the desire to leverage Internet connectivity is boosting demand for software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), which has more flexibility and better economics than traditional WANs.

Tune in as Futuriom Principal Analyst R. Scott Raynovich recaps the findings of its recent SD-WAN Growth Outlook, detailing what’s driving fast adoption for SD-WAN technologies.

In this webinar we will cover how the demands to deliver higher quality of services, in less time and with lower costs to all locations in the network are pervasive in the healthcare industry. We will discuss how organizations are responding by deploying new applications (on-prem and cloud based), innovative technologies that require connectivity and the need for agility as organizations grow organically or inorganically.

We will also discuss some of the challenges that often hold back this innovation and patient care when trying to connect to applications located in centralized data centers or cloud locations, especially from urgent care centers or satellite offices in rural locations.

Lastly, we will review how SD-WAN solutions can provide requisite connectivity to unlock innovation, increase agility and productivity and improve customer care/experience to even the more remote locations. This will include sharing examples of organizations that have transitioned to SD-WAN solutions and achieved real benefits.

The increasing WAN demands of branch offices, vast proliferation of devices, constant need for wireless network uptime, together with a desire to keep costs low has left IT with a simple charge – accomplish more with less. To address this, IT must shift from reactive to proactive, from network-centric to user-centric, and from manual to automated.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has provided a clear path forward to solve for these challenges and deliver automation to the IT admin. Mist Systems has partnered with VeloCloud, now part of VMware to bring WLAN analytics, AI, and intelligent troubleshooting to NSX SD-WAN.

Join us for a joint webinar where the experts from Mist and NSX SD-WAN showcase the power of LAN and WAN integration to give customers unprecedented visibility into their LAN and WAN environments—from the branch to the cloud, and everywhere in between.

Networking is in a constant state of change, but the with the advent of cloud and virtualization, the current evolution is altering the way we’ve traditionally understood it. The Virtual Cloud Network is about virtualization, connecting data centers and branches and cloud to each other in a seamless and flexible manner that supports this evolution for the next several decades. The lynchpin to this new architecture is SD-WAN, with its pervasive, scalable, and adaptable framework.

In this webinar, Zeus Kerravala of ZK Research, discusses how SD-WAN is transforming networking and enabling the adoption of Virtual Cloud Network to occur.

The SD-WAN market has been flooded with a range of vendors offering varying types of SD-WAN solutions. While having differing types of solutions provided by numerous suppliers is potentially beneficial, it also creates confusion that complicates the task of evaluating alternative SD-WAN solutions.

Join us as Jim Metzler, analyst, researcher and founder at Ashton, Metzler & Associates, cuts through the confusion in the market by identifying seven key questions that network organizations should ask themselves as part of evaluating SD-WAN solutions.

In today’s world, undisrupted network connectivity is critical to ensuring business continuity.
