The Different Flavours of SD-WAN

Welcome to the Networking Bistro: Savoring the Flavours of SD-WAN  Imagine walking into a gourmet restaurant where the menu offers a delightful array of flavours,

A Story of Network Agility and IT Efficiency

Implementing SD-WAN can lead to substantial cost savings. MPLS circuits are expensive, costing $50 to $600 per Mbps per month. For Delicious Enterprises Inc., this adds up to thousands of dollars monthly. In contrast, broadband connections cost $20 to $60 for 100 Mbps. By replacing MPLS with broadband and leveraging SD-WAN, monthly expenses could drop from $5,000 to $2,000, saving thousands.

Demystifying IP Addressing

Selecting the appropriate IP addressing scheme is crucial for balancing accessibility, security, and cost-effectiveness in modern networking. Within the Adaptiv Connect SD-WAN solution, there are three main IP addressing options: private IP addresses with CGNAT (Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation), public IP addresses NATed in the cloud, and public IP addresses on the LAN side. Each approach has its own advantages and disadvantages, which we will explore in detail to help you determine the best fit for your network.

Unlocking the Power of Cloud Connectivity

While private Cloud connectivity solutions like Azure ExpressRoute and AWS Direct Connect certainly serve a purpose in enhancing cloud connectivity, their limitations underscore the necessity for a more sophisticated approach.
