How does SD-WAN architecture work
SD-WAN powered by Viptela/IOS XE is a highly secure, cloud-scale architecture that is open, programmable, and scalable. Through the vManage console, you can quickly establish an SD-WAN overlay fabric. Use it to connect data centers, branches, campuses, and colocation facilities to improve network speed, security, and efficiency.
Does SD-WAN affect ROI?
Yes, SD-WAN significantly increases ROI by improving IT agility, performance and efficiency. Your ROI should be in double digits and you should expect to break even within a few months of completing your deployment. Make sure to plan your roadmap with your SD-WAN vendor and confirm that they can quantify ROI for your custom use-cases.
The price tag shouldn’t be the main consideration with SD-WAN. If you focus solely on the initial investment, you’ll lose sight of the bigger picture, which is the ROI you should experience within a year of implementation.
