How do you select the best Enterprise SD-WAN for your needs?

Be mindful of common pitfalls & trade-offs:
 

• Brownfield Integration: SD-WAN roll-out never happens all at once.  Look for SD-WAN that provides enterprise-class routing to support your transition at every step of the way
• Cost vs. Performance: More capacity doesn’t guarantee performance.  Look for SD-WAN that provides advanced app acceleration to overcome latency, jitter and packet loss
• User Experience vs. Security: Giving users direct branch-to-Internet access expands your threat perimeter.  Look for SD-WAN that provides next-gen network security services

Accelerate business velocity with SD-WAN

• Conventional routers are too rigid, error prone and costly to manage
• SD-WAN streamlines network operations with centralized management based on app-centric policies
• SD-WAN path steering dynamically selects the best transport – MPLS, Internet Broadband or LTE – based on performance SLAs and real-time circuit conditions
• SD-WAN unifies hybrid cloud connectivity and operations with a secure network fabric that spans branches, data centers and multi-cloud environments
• SD-WAN accelerates roll-out of new sites and apps with zero-touch provisioning and scalable policy templates

Accelerate any app to any user over any network

• No amount of bandwidth can address the performance impact of latency on applications
• WAN optimization and app acceleration overcome latency, over-subscription and poor link quality
• Riverbed SaaS Accelerator increases app performance by up to 10x
• In the office, at home or on the go, Riverbed Client Accelerator assures exceptional user experience
• Riverbed delivers end-to-end application performance with WAN optimization, cloud acceleration, SaaS acceleration and client acceleration

Secure your branch as you expand the perimeter

• Giving branch users direct Internet access expands your attack surface
• Riverbed SD-WAN fortifies remote sites with integrated network security and flexible 3rd party service chaining
• Leverage powerful native capabilities including next-gen firewall, IPS, malware protection and unified threat management
• Integrate 3rd party security services at the branch or in the cloud leveraging extensible uCPE service chaining
