Portwell SD-WAN hardware solution is the exact cutting-edge Desktop Network Appliance solution that you have been waiting for.

SD-WAN stands for Software-Defined Wide Area Network. It’s a virtualized network architecture that uses software to connect users to applications across multiple locations. SD-WANs are a more flexible alternative to traditional WANs

Our SD-WAN device manages and deploys software-defined wide area networks. SD-WANs are virtual networks that connect local area networks (LANs) over long distances.

Features

• Portwell SD-WAN hardware can monitor network conditions like latency, packet loss, and jitter.
• It uses this information to make real-time decisions about the best path for data to travel.
• It enforces these decisions to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Portwell SD-WAN hardware applies security features like firewalls, encryption, and intrusion detection/prevention systems.
• Portwell SD-WAN hardware can reduce costs by using a variety of connection types, including broadband, LTE, and MPLS.
• They can improve application performance and increase agility.
• Portwell SD-WAN hardware can support applications hosted in public or private clouds, on-premise data centres and SaaS services

Benefits of SD-WAN

• Improved performance: SD-WANs can provide better performance, reliability, and scalability. 
• Centralized management: SD-WANs provide a centralized console for managing the network, including configuration, security, and reporting. 
• Cost savings: SD-WANs can reduce the cost of hardware and maintenance. 
• Flexibility: SD-WANs can use a variety of routing approaches and connectivity options. 

How SD-WAN works

• SD-WANs use software-defined networking (SDN) principles to manage WANs. 
• SD-WANs use a centralized control function to steer traffic across the network. 
• SD-WANs can connect to a variety of transport services, such as VPNs, broadband internet, LTE, and MPLS nodes. 
• SD-WANs can route traffic over different transport mechanisms in case of an outage. 

Components of SD-WAN

• SD-WAN edge: This is where the network endpoints reside, such as a branch office, remote data centre, or cloud platform. 
• SD-WAN controller: This manages the network. 
• SD-WAN orchestrator: This is a web management tool that allows for configuration, provisioning, and other functions.
