When it comes to cloud computing security is always top of mind. As a result, a lot of attention gets paid to the networks used to access cloud services . Historically, IT organizations have depended upon the inherent segregation of MPLS lines. But there was always a small risk […] Click here to view […]

“The IoT era is here and I strongly encourage business and IT leaders to consider how the business will evolve once everything is connected. However, before going down that path, take a step back and deploy an SD-WAN to simplify your WAN architecture, so your IoT initiatives can scale quickly and securely and in line […]

One of the key benefits of SD-WAN is that it can save a company money, and as noted above, some of those cost savings are associated with the transition to COTS hardware. But it’s not always that simple. There are multiple ways to deploy software-defined wide area networks ( SD-WAN ) but nearly all include […]

Security and managing branch networks were the top concerns noted, and of the 85 percent of organizations researching SD-WAN for operations, the study illustrates that 93 percent of these firms are targeting 2019 for deployment. SD-WAN is gaining ground, and as we see reports daily of market forecasts projecting exponential explosion for the space, but […]

Versa Networks recently published a report that found software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) adoption is on the rise as a way to improve security. SD-WAN is a way of connecting and securing WANs, which are used by data centers and branch offices, across large-scale distances. Versa SD-WAN and SD-Security […] Click here to view original […]

“Attackers may steal and threaten to release data unless a payment is made,” said the report. “Charities involved in the protection of vulnerable individuals or holding sensitive medical data could be particularly susceptible to this form of extortion”. Charities are a prime target for hackers and are at risk of devastating cyber attacks, the UK’s […]

SD-WAN’s main intent is to ensure that the end-users get the best possible application experience, irrespective of where they are hosted. SD-WAN makes your infrastructure more intelligent to access cloud-based applications and minimizes the effort and cost required to operate a network that can support a multi-cloud environment. Many still consider SD-WAN as an emerging […]

This is where IoT must rely on new technologies, like software-defined WAN (SD-WAN). The overall concept behind SD-WAN is to combine two or more WAN links with artificial intelligence, so data will traverse the optimal path toward its final destination. Network administrators primarily use a combination of internet broadband links and private carrier links, like […]

Organizations are applying software-defined technology to their wide-area networks (WANs) too. In addition to connecting and securing various branch offices, data centers supported by SD-WAN can significantly reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX). According to research firm IDC, the global data center SDN market will be worth nearly $12.5 billion in 2020, with […]

More than half (65 percent) of networking professionals worldwide have considered a managed SD-WAN service over a do-it-yourself product, according to a report by Dimensional Research released today. The report, SD-WAN Adoption is Accelerating to Reduce Security Risk , which was sponsored by SD-WAN vendor Versa Networks and surveyed […] Click here to view original […]
