SD-WAN Can Only Fix Output Failures, Right?

Often times in the telecommunications industry, an outsider can get lost in the endless acronyms and terminology to the point where they muddle what a product or service is and what it isn’t. 

This is the case for CloudGenix’s version of SD-WAN (see our earlier post for more info), which is regularly assumed to be less versatile than it really is. The number one reported misconception of SD-WAN is that it is only used for fixing output failure and performance issues. While SD-WAN can fix these things, there is a whole lot more.

Advantages of CloudGenix’s SD-WAN 

With CloudGenix’s SD-WAN you can easily deploy policies across your companies’ different applications, making acquisition much easier and allowing for networks to operate at greater efficiency. Whereas before a business would need to have an expert come in to make these changes, you now only need a couple of clicks with the mouse to implement these objectives. 

Another aspect of SD-WAN is that it can reduce your hardware footprint and simplify your branch infrastructure with one-click integration to cloud firewall providers such as Palo Alto Networks, ZScaler, and many others. Additionally, as opposed to companies who have to send all of their data over to a data center first then onto the Internet, a business can now send their data directly to the Internet with SD-WAN. 

CloudGenix can also assist businesses in drastically reducing their troubleshooting tickets, provide them with a self-healing network, and improve visibility. Essentially, CloudGenix can help a business figure out exactly what is going wrong whether it’s the network, server, or application. They can identify issues faster and bring attention to the proper team. 

Summary

Don’t let the acronyms confuse you, CloudGenix and their version of SD-WAN has far more capabilities than one might have previously expected. For further insight as to how to leverage SD-WAN, do not hesitate to reach out to us at Conectrix.
