What is SD-WAN?

Modern businesses rely on Wide Area Networks (WANs) to support the communication of their corporate locations, located in different geographical areas. SD-WAN (Software – Defined Wide Area Network) technology solution is a virtual WAN architecture that allows businesses to remotely manage their network, as well as configure and expand it quickly and easily. Control over network connections, application flows, management policies, security mechanisms, and general network management is done by software that is installed and running on a central platform.

SD-WAN utilizes central control function to direct traffic within the network in the best possible way, allowing the use of any combination of interconnection technologies, so that the various parts of the company can be interconnected safely, while increasing the performance of corporate applications , improving the user experience and increasing network productivity.

To provide the SD-WAN solution, the OTE Group has been cooperating for a year and a half with the largest SD-WAN vendors, in order to give each company a proposal based on its special digitization needs.
