Increasingly, businesses are opting for international SD-WAN networking due to its numerous advantages compared to traditional wide area networks (WANs). Overall, international SD-WAN networking offers enhanced efficiency and flexibility, catering to a wide range of business scenarios. In this article, we will explore the six significant benefits of international SD-WAN networking.

(1) Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement

International SD-WAN integrates various connection methods such as dedicated lines, Internet, MPLS, 4G/5G, effectively boosting the bandwidth of the WAN while reducing overall connectivity costs. This dual benefit of cost reduction and efficiency enhancement is highly appealing to businesses.

(2) Simplified Deployment

Most international SD-WAN hardware CPE devices support Zero Touch Provision, enabling rapid deployment without physical contact. Configuration can be done via email or pre-configuration methods. When enterprises have numerous branches, these quick deployment features significantly reduce the pressure on operational maintenance and pave the way for rapid business expansion.

(3) Simplified Operation and Maintenance

International SD-WAN supports real-time monitoring of link quality. Some international SD-WAN vendors offer products that can detect and score links. When a link fails, corresponding alerts and switchovers can be triggered, minimizing manual monitoring and troubleshooting time.

Moreover, some international SD-WAN vendors offer deep application recognition, revealing which applications use how much bandwidth at any given time. This allows for application-based scheduling, such as prioritizing core applications on MPLS lines and routing lower-priority applications through Internet lines.

(4) Intelligent Routing

International SD-WAN selects routes based on network quality. For instance, if one of two available Internet connections experiences poor quality, international SD-WAN can route traffic through the better-quality connection. Routing can also be arranged based on application priority, with core applications prioritized on MPLS lines and lower-priority applications routed through regular Internet connections.

(5) Network Quality Optimization

When the underlying network experiences instability or packet loss, international SD-WAN optimizes the overlay network by initiating repair mechanisms. This enhances user experience, such as improving the quality of video conferences and ensuring transmission quality.

(6) Accelerated Cloud Access

With the widespread adoption of cloud computing, more and more businesses are migrating to the cloud, resulting in frequent access to public clouds. international SD-WAN technology enables direct cloud access for branch offices, eliminating the need for routing through the headquarters. Additionally, international SD-WAN can facilitate multi-cloud connectivity between public and private clouds, as well as cloud migration, providing a fast track for businesses to quickly embrace the cloud.
