The need to establish connectivity between geographically separated branches and offices has led to the rise of Software-Defined Wide Area Networks. The legacy solution for this was to rely on hardware appliances and expensive MPLS connections. Yet, SD WAN providers enable users to create inter-branch connectivity through commodity internet services without the need for dedicated […]

Don’t be confused by false choices: It’s not SD WAN vs. SASE, but SD WAN and SASE. Many IT vendors are like the proverbial hardware store that only sells one kind of tool: when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Such vendors compulsively frame issues in ways that inevitably

When it comes to designing and building a modern wide area network (WAN) architecture, several new and traditional technologies are available to build the most appropriate and cost-effective solution for your organisation. Today, SD WAN often serves as a focal point of connectivity, but other traditional technologies like MPLS, VPLS, and private circuits still hold

Businesses are increasingly opting to utilise Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions to improve their network performance, security and scalability. Whilst SD-WAN offers many solutions to the issues posed by traditional WAN architectures, it also comes with its own challenges.

As one of the first cloud-managed, orchestration-based routing platforms, Cisco Meraki was in a prime position to have an SD WAN offering from the beginning. Unlike a lot of other companies, when Meraki started rolling out SD WAN capabilities in its software, it did not force you to purchase new hardware. All current MX series
