6 Questions to ask When Evaluating SD-Branch Solutions
As companies require their branch networks to do more, network engineering and operations leaders have to delicately balance a number of networking and security capabilities. Making sure the branch solution they deploy meets the connectivity, reliability, availability, cost, and security requirements can be daunting.
Choosing the right solution is critical because if your branch infrastructure lacks visibility and centralized management, your entire distributed organization is put at greater risk. Consequences of an inadequate solution include poor performance slowing down operations and security breaches.
Traditional branch architecture with disparate networking and security solutions cannot keep up with today’s bandwidth demands and cyberthreat landscape. If you consider these questions when evaluating solutions, your branch deployments should be in good shape to deliver on the functionality needed.
