As cloud services rapidly evolve, an increasing number of enterprises are deploying and storing data on cloud platforms to achieve cost reduction and efficiency gains. However, frequent incidents of domestic and international cloud service outages in recent years have prompted businesses, particularly those with high demands for network stability, to consider the importance of multi-cloud disaster recovery. This article explores the current challenges faced by enterprise multi-cloud networks and how SD-WAN can address these issues.

Traditional networking issues, such as high costs, long deployment times, and low flexibility, have hindered the development of cloud adoption for businesses. Achieving multi-cloud disaster recovery, amidst the complexities of a multi-cloud environment, poses additional challenges: surges in traffic require more bandwidth resources to support operations, interconnecting various clouds (public, private, hybrid) can be challenging, and the complexities of operations and debugging across different cloud and multi-cloud platforms are formidable.

Efficiently Building Multi-Cloud Dedicated Networks with SD-WAN:

SD-WAN cloud dedicated line services are designed to construct dedicated network connections for cloud and hybrid cloud usage. Leveraging the elastic network architecture of international SD-WAN, users can seamlessly access virtualized devices (vCPE) or hardware CPE, constructing an integrated wide-area network connecting public clouds, private clouds, data centers, production environments, and enterprise office sites within minutes.

Advantages of Building Enterprise Multi-Cloud Dedicated Networks with SD-WAN:

Cost Reduction: Compared to traditional dedicated lines, global SD-WAN deployment can reduce network costs by 30-50% for the same bandwidth. It also supports multiple connection methods, allowing users to access and connect from any location, improving the user experience for hybrid cloud operations.

Enhanced Management Efficiency: Utilizing the unified management platform, users can remotely adjust network-wide policy configurations. Additionally, features like device status monitoring, alerting, and unified log collection enable rapid operational functions, providing real-time insights into network and business statuses, facilitating timely issue detection, and preventing business disruptions.

Faster Upload, Download, and Cloud Access: With the backbone network based on SD-WAN, the risk of cloud service access interruptions due to network failures or congestion is significantly reduced.

Seamless Cross-Cloud Data Interchange: Achieve collaborative resource deployment across different cloud platforms, ensuring fast, stable, and secure data transmission for enterprise deployments in diverse cloud environments.

Support for Multi-Cloud Disaster Recovery and High-Availability Network Construction: Compatible with major public and private clouds for seamless migration, global SD-WAN provides a high-availability network for multi-cloud disaster recovery, enabling seamless, fault-tolerant switching in case of line failures.

Unified Operations and Network Visibility: The unified management platform achieves visibility and control across cloud, network, and endpoints. It detects network abnormalities, swiftly locates and resolves issues, offering a comprehensive operational solution.
