Decentral vs central & software-based.
Configurations can be conducted at network level in real time, via a central portal. This saves time, money, and resources.
Manual vs Automated.
SD-WAN reacts automatically to fluctuations in transmission quality and ensures the best possible connection for business critical applications. Through automated load balancing, the hurdles of configuration are shifted from people to technology.
Inflexible vs programmable.
Network behaviour can be flexibly tailored to support individual existing applications as well as rapidly deploying new services.
Reactive vs Predictive.
Where reactive models are always in a state of change, predictive models use historical data to adjust routes and flows with less disruption.
Connectivity-intent vs Business-intent.
Simply being able to connect locations with each other is no longer enough. Businesses require value from WAN to provide value to their customers.
