Today’s networks are distributed across so many devices and environments, many of them temporary and all of them in a constant state of flux, that the notion of a perimeter has been almost completely abandoned. This transition has largely been the result of an application-based business model. Users both employees and consumers require immediate and reliable access to critical applications and streaming services at any time, from any location, on any device.
To achieve this, most organizations have transformed their networks to a collection of edges. In addition to the LAN edge, there is the new WAN edge, the multi-cloud edge, the distributed datacenter edge, the mobile edge, and most recently due to the rapid shift to work-from-home, a huge surge in the home office edge. And multi-edge computing (MEC) a distributed, open IT architecture that features decentralized processing power and a virtualized network platform is right around the corner. Powered by 5G-

If you still only see SD-WAN as a replacement for your branch WAN solution, you haven’t been looking closely enough.

By transforming their WAN architectures with SD-WAN, organizations can leverage such functions as dynamic path selection, optimized application delivery, and accelerated cloud on-ramp to deliver business-critical applications to the WAN Edge even for the most bandwidth-hungry applications all while delivering instant ROI benefits. Unfortunately, most SD-WAN solutions lack one critical component integrated security. Instead, they require customers to build, dep
