Modern branch offices need to be agile in adopting the increasing use of cloud-based applications, SaaS consumption, ease of management, and evolving customer requirements. Backhauling traffic to a centralized data center is required when applications and users reside there. But when the Enterprise users in branch offices and applications are hosting in the public cloud, backhauling traffic across hub-and-spoke network architecture increases security risk and vulnerabilities.
ACL Digital offers a fully secure, self-healing, cloud-hosted, and completely orchestrated SD-WAN solution. The solution establishes a secure overlay tunnel between the branch offices, headquarters, and public cloud environments. SD-WAN simplifies traffic routed in the branch while enabling improved connectivity to the internet, cloud applications, and the data center. SD-WAN is rapidly gaining momentum as a cost-effective enabler of Digital transformation from hub-and-spoke to direct-to-internet network architecture. The key features of the solutions are:
- API-driven centralized platform holding the WAN service abstraction
- Supports peer-to-peer vCPE communications across the data centers via the dynamic routing protocol
- Built-in IDS/IPS for internet breakout
- Policy-based routing for critical applications and effective bandwidth management
- Automated One Touch deployment and Zero Touch service provisioning
- Direct-to-internet architecture provides local connectivity for a fast user experience
Centralizes policy creation, distribution, and control for operational simplicity
Provides flexible security options at branch offices edge, data center, and in the cloud
Enables optimization of MPLS spend for lower TCO
