Our primary use case was to link about a hundred sites globally for a large company. The idea was essentially for cost-saving. They've got a large MPLS network with different providers with MPLS links and the idea was that in the first phase we would remove one of the MPLS links and then create a sort of centralized overlay that they could then have additional services to the remote sites and also give them a level of visibility globally across all their sites around the world. The orchestrator was in the cloud but other parts like the hub site and data centers were obviously on-site and analytics were on-premises.
What Is SD-WAN? Software-defined networking (SDN) is a type of network architecture that uses virtualization to deliver applications and services to users in a wide area network. Wide area networks (WANs) are tools that enable organizations to extend the reach of their computer networks. Regular WANs use conventional routers to direct traffic. With cloud or hybrid environments, this causes backhaul and delays.
