SD-WAN and traditional network

　Because SD-WAN and traditional network architecture are very different, network access becomes more and the application environment is more flexible, which brings additional challenges to its security and performance. Li Hongkai, general manager of Fortinet China, pointed out: “SD-WAN is a cross-border technology. The advantages of traditional network vendors in this field are not obvious, and users need to identify applications, security, quality of experience, performance and other aspects on a network basis. It gives Fortinet a huge opportunity. And in the traditional network architecture, security and large network design are separate, and SD-WAN turns WAN into LAN, security issues will be exposed, Fortinet directly integrates security into the underlying network. In the architecture, users do not have to think about security construction separately, so the integrated design will greatly promote the effectiveness of enterprise network security construction.”

 

　　Currently, integrated SD-WAN solutions have become a significant trend in the evolution of the networking industry. With the deployment of integrated SD-WAN solutions, users can not only gain security, scalability, performance, cost and other capabilities, but also get one-stop delivery of network capabilities, while achieving unified operation and maintenance and management, and promoting network The continuation of operation and maintenance.

 

　”SD-WAN + NGFW” Fortinet Introduces Integrated SD-WAN Solution

 

　　Based on the concept of integration, Fortinet has launched the Secure SD-WAN solution, which includes best-in-class next-generation firewall (NGFW), SD-WAN, advanced routing and WAN optimization capabilities, and is securely powered in a unified product. Wide area network edge conversion. At the security level, Fortinet has the security capability to cover the entire attack plane, and supports multiple secure SD-WAN architectures. In the first test of the software-defined WAN in NSS Lab, it received a “recommended” rating; performance, cost, etc. In terms of Fortinet’s SD-WAN professional chips, it delivers up to 10x performance improvement over traditional devices, while being among the best in terms of VoIP and video traffic quality of experience, connectivity and price/performance.

 

　　Fortinet China Technical Director Zhang Luo pointed out: “The outstanding advantage of Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solution is that it has got rid of the isolation status of various types of solutions in the current SD-WAN market and provides excellent security in the integrated platform. , scalability, high performance and unified management capabilities. For users, they can get a proven and optimized SD-WAN solution without the time and effort required to integrate SD-WAN.”
