The continued confusion surrounding SD-WAN is driving many UK organisations to ask whether it’s right for them. 

With the huge shift towards hybrid working, many are unsure whether SD-WAN still has it's place - and whether other options such as MPLS and SASE should be seen as complementary or alternative solutions.

SD-WAN can reduce network complexity, while improving visibility and control - and in countries such as the US, investment in new SD-WAN equipment can be offset against the high cost of a private network (MPLS).

However, in the UK it’s not as simple as choosing SD-WAN over a private network - for a start, MPLS costs are much lower in the UK.

In this webinar, our expert panel looked at the key considerations of SD-WAN specifically for UK businesses, including:
  • The benefits of SD-WAN for today’s distributed workforce
  • How SD-WAN combines with other technologies, such as SASE & MPLS, for an optimal solution
  • How to choose the best solution for your organisation
  • The key considerations for security & networking functions
