Overview

Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) is a transformational approach to simplifying branch office networking and assuring optimal application performance.

Unlike traditional WANs, SD-WAN delivers increased network agility and cost reduction. Software-Defined WAN has its roots in Software-Defined Networking (SDN), the underlying principle of which is to abstract the network hardware and transport characteristics from the applications that use the network.

Cisco, an SD-WAN market leader, delivers Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) technology to address the challenges of modern applications. Cisco SD-WAN is a cloud-delivered overlay WAN architecture that enables digital and cloud transformation. It ensures a predictable user experience for applications and provides a seamless multi-cloud architecture.
