Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) is an application-aware service that intelligently routes traffic in real time based on established business policies, along with network quality and availability. SD-WAN is used to connect multiple locations in a network to each other, to a data center, to applications and data in the cloud, or to SaaS platforms. Leveraging multiple, cost-effective access types at each location in an active-active configuration, an SD-WAN network routes application traffic over the best-performing network elements in real time and ensures automated failover for resiliency.

As demand for goods peaks, supply chain instability and labor shortage are forcing manufacturers to become more efficient and find new ways to maximize productivity. Manufacturers are accelerating their path to digitalization or Industry 4.0, to improve automation and be more competitive. Additionally, with the digitalization of their operations, manufacturing companies are increasingly moving their applications to the cloud for more agility and to enable their employees to work-from-anywhere. The number of IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) devices is skyrocketing, while IT and OT (operational technology) networks are converging, raising concerns about cybersecurity risks.
