How Does SD WAN Work?

As with most tech innovations, optimization is the way forward. WAN architectures are the designated conductors of online traffic, relegating all users to their requested applications by the best path forward. Traditional WAN, however, was limited to using MPLS exclusively for routing users, bottlenecking traffic. An SD WAN solution injects versatility into the traditional architecture, routing users from any location through the ideal WAN path.

Without the restrictions of a single WAN pathway imposed on a company’s network, connecting to business-critical apps is smoother, faster, and more secure by virtue of Fortinet FortiGate firewall hardware.
