SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a networking technology that simplifies and optimizes WAN management by using software to intelligently route traffic across multiple connections, such as MPLS, broadband, and LTE. It enhances network performance, security, and cost-efficiency by dynamically selecting the best path for data based on real-time conditions. SD-WAN also enables centralized control, making it easier for businesses to manage and scale their networks while ensuring reliable connectivity for cloud applications and remote users.
