In the rapidly evolving landscape of corporate networks, global SD-WAN technology has become not only the key to achieving network connectivity between enterprise sites but also the ideal solution for diverse business applications and access to various enterprise applications and services such as the Internet, SaaS cloud applications, and public clouds. Starting from the business requirements of enterprise WAN, we can delve into the networking scenarios of global SD-WAN, covering a multitude of business contexts.

Diverse Interconnection of Enterprise Sites

Corporate sites, including branches, headquarters, and data centers, form the core of enterprise WAN operations. Interactions between these sites can be categorized into scenarios such as branch sites accessing headquarters/data centers, branch sites interconnecting through headquarters, and direct intercommunication among branch sites. Global SD-WAN, with its flexible network architecture, caters to the diverse interconnection needs of enterprise sites.

Flexible and Versatile Internet Access Modes

With the rapid evolution of networks, enterprises have raised the bar for internet access. Global SD-WAN networking solutions should support various flexible internet access modes, including local internet access (suitable for smaller enterprises or scenarios where internet traffic doesn’t require centralized security control), centralized internet access (ideal for larger enterprises or situations demanding centralized security control for internet traffic), and hybrid internet access (suited for scenarios requiring centralized security control for internet traffic but with relaxed controls for specific services like Office365).

Facilitating Rapid Connection of Offline Sites to Public Clouds

As the use of public clouds becomes widespread, businesses migrating their systems to public clouds need to ensure that offline sites can connect to cloud applications on-demand and swiftly. International SD-WAN, through its flexible networking approach, meets the efficient connectivity requirements of enterprises for public cloud access.

Optimizing Access to SaaS Cloud Applications

The Software as a Service (SaaS) model, providing software application services over the internet, is increasingly favored by enterprises. To enhance the speed and reliability of enterprise site access to SaaS cloud applications, international SD-WAN employs a network-wide search for the optimal path to access SaaS cloud applications, ensuring the user experience reaches its peak.

Bridging the Network Divide between SD-WAN and Traditional Sites

Due to business relationships, newly revamped international SD-WAN sites need to access traditional enterprise sites. In such cases, it is essential to bridge the international SD-WAN Overlay network and the traditional Underlay network, ensuring seamless integration between new and legacy systems.

In the ever-changing corporate network environment, international SD-WAN stands as an innovative network technology capable of meeting diverse enterprise needs. Enterprises are encouraged to choose and implement this technology to achieve efficient, secure, and reliable network operations.
