Cisco SD-WAN Powered by Meraki
The world’s most trusted SD-WAN provider
What is SD-WAN?
Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) is a software-based approach for businesses to utilize and manage more than one external network connection such as MPLS, broadband, and fiber optic at a given location based on its performance.
With SD-WAN, network admins can define which WAN link an application should use, or set up rules for which link should be used based on its performance.
What can SD-WAN help achieve?
Reduce dependence on MPLS
Take advantage of low-cost WAN links such as broadband and fiber to significantly reduce your WAN costs with the Meraki MX appliances that can be quickly deployed at scale with true zero-touch provisioning.
Maximize user experience
Cisco SD-WAN powered by Meraki delivers end-to-end visibility through advanced analytics with machine learning and smart path selection to assure experience for business-critical applications no matter where they are hosted—SaaS, IaaS, or the data center.
