Branch-to-Branch SD-WAN

Branch-to-Branch SD-WAN

Jack Prabha

Companies who need a continuous, high-throughput connection from one office to another office have historically relied on VPN tunnels or MPLS circuits.

Replacing these solutions with branch-to-branch SD-WAN can reduce the cost and burden of managing branch office connectivity. Branch-to-branch solutions are the most common SD-WANs on the market today and are often what many think of when SD-WAN is mentioned. In this configuration, SD-WAN enabled end points use software to provide virtualized network functions over existing internet connections.

Best Fit:

If a company must connect multiple on-premise data centers or cloud environments that they control, this is the ideal SD-WAN to choose. This solution can run over any available internet connection including MPLS, standard broadband or even 4G and LTE. The SD-WAN is laid over this infrastructure and routes traffic over all available connections and is even able to prioritize traffic (QoS) to leverage the best connection available at any given time.

Benefits:

Load balancing across multiple data connections

QoS prioritization of application traffic across the WAN

Secure, high-throughput connections between two branch offices or cloud environments

Ability to send traffic over all available internet connections to optimize flow
