The technology that underpins SD-WANs – i.e., the software that makes proactive decisions about which network links to send traffic to and more – is becoming a network staple for organizations that want a superior experience. Enterprises and service providers have been searching for ways to lower their WAN costs, improve the performance of mission-critical applications, and adapt to the spread of cloud computing for years now. As a result of the fast-paced flow of business, the high demands of both customers and end users alike and the need for IT to do more with less, SD-WANs are poised for continued growth.
