SD WAN has now gone mainstream and over sixty solutions available now claim to have SD WAN functionality built in. At the same time, SD WAN is still a new technology, and organizations will need help building the right kind of SD WAN solution. In this episode Mode’s Jo McDougald speaks with Jason Gintert of WAN Dynamics about how the firms’ technologies and services are working together to offer fast and reliable global SD WAN.
There’s no doubt SD WAN is cool, but Talari Networks claims to have been doing SD WAN since before it was cool. In this episode Mode’s Doug Case and Jo McDougald speaks with Talari Co-founder and CMO Andrew Gottlieb about his firm’s history with the technology, including its origination of “fail-safe” SD WAN technology, which even in today’s exploding market remains a rarity.

Over the last decade, we have seen the gradual movement of critical business infrastructure – compute, storage, applications, and services – to the cloud. The cloud reinvention of traditional private WAN is still incomplete. SD-WAN has delivered powerful edge control, but its potential is limited by an unpredictable Internet Core that makes it difficult to keep businesses always-on. SD-CORE extends SD-WAN edge control to the network core and marks the final stage in the cloud metamorphism of private, high-availability business WAN.
In this webinar, we will discuss 3 key points:
The value of SD-WAN Edge Control
The case for Core Control™: #1 SD-WAN Enhancement
Choosing the ideal SD-CORE: performance, security, and cost
SD-WANs bring powerful adaptive control to the branch edge. Beyond the edge, they typically rely on the Internet to deliver much of this benefit. This dependency has a significant risk: Internet backbones can introduce a level of unpredictability that complicates the job of delivering reliable WANs. In this presentation, Steve Garson of SD-WAN Experts will detail three simple steps you can take today to mitigate Internet unpredictability, or even eliminate it entirely - all while preserving the key benefits of software-defined networking: flexibility, reliability, and economy.
Key points:
1. How to select the right ISPs and why
2. How to analyze what locations need QoS for latency sensitive applications
3. Why you should use SD-CORE as part of the network design
