SD-WAN
Make the network adapt to the business.
SD-WAN can help organizations manage connectivity across multiple locations, carriers, and access technologies while improving visibility, routing, resiliency, and control.
Envoy helps evaluate SD-WAN alongside the underlying connectivity it depends on.
The overlay and the access services belong in one plan.
Application requirements
Review application priorities, site-to-site traffic, cloud usage, and the performance requirements of essential services.
Underlying connections
Assess each location’s access circuits, capacity, and redundancy. SD-WAN does not remove limitations in the underlying connections.
Operating model
Compare management responsibilities, equipment, licensing, monitoring, support, and integration with the existing security environment.
Consider the whole connectivity requirement.
Related services may help with performance, resilience, or ongoing operations. Evaluate them together around the business and its locations.
