SD-WAN and traditional network architecture

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.
