There are better ways to handle network traffic.

Branch routers are going the way of pagers and landlines—they still work, certainly—but they are no longer the best way to keep your office going. This is where SD-WAN comes in. It’s an acronym for “software-defined networking in a wide area network.” According to experts, this cloud-ready platform is the best solution for the modern business network. Let’s learn why.

With a cloud solution like SD-WAN, rather than an outdated router system, you get something that we at FirstDigital call “seamless failover.” Seamless failover is all about constant reliability. In case of failure or congestion, our SD-WAN system switches to the fastest and most logical connectivity route. This failsafe eliminates the chance of dropped calls and prevents your network from slowing down.

Before we go any further, let’s talk about the experience. Cool features lose their appeal if you don’t know how to use them. There are plenty of amazing perks with SD-WAN. It feels like it should be complicated—but it’s not. Here’s the e-book to prove it. We’re confident that SD-WAN is actually a simpler solution than a router, which means that your company can have a better experience, altogether.

Next, it’s time to discuss visibility and simplicity. Working in a cloud-compatible network like SD-WAN brings everything together. Your analytics, configuration tools, applications and more are all in one streamlined space. Now you can get increased visibility into network performance and analytics as well as “faster simplified configuration, orchestration and on-going monitoring with centralized troubleshooting tools.”

The time to cut costs and replace your expensive MPLS voice and data services is now. There is a secure and economical answer with FirstDigital and VeloCloud SD-WAN solutions. Utilize two industry leaders, working seamlessly at lower costs than a traditional provider.

All the best applications and modern businesses are headed to the Cloud by way of SD-WAN. Are you?
