Lavelle Networks SD-WAN Improves Branch Office Cloud Access

January 5, 2020

The popularity of cloud services has meant big changes for branch office networks, which have been operating for years utilizing only dedicated multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) connections back to a corporate data centers. Now, there’s a need to add broadband connections for faster cloud access. But these links are less secure and complicate network management and policy enforcement. Software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) systems enable branch offices to have both their broadband connections and to enforce policies designed to improve network security and performance.
