SD-WAN will be key to navigating the digital transformation journey

Virgin Media, Cisco and Innovate are routing the cloud in a more progressive direction through SD-WAN.
Innovate founder Jim Hughes provides the perfect analogy to explain what software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) is all about. “Imagine you are using Google Maps to help you to go somewhere, and halfway there the map intelligently reroutes you because of a traffic jam or some obstacle up ahead so that you still manage to arrive on time.“On a data or cloud network, SD-WAN dynamically reroutes traffic between multiple sites to help you avoid bottlenecks that could slow down the journey.”
