The Role Of Automation In SD-WAN
SearchNetworking, February 7th, 2023
API integration, machine learning and AIOps are vital to achieve the benefits of SD-WAN automation, which include better network performance and faster operations.
Software-defined WAN is the most fundamental change in networking since MPLS took over from frame relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode. While IT teams manage their networks via GUI portals with cloud networking and security orchestration, SD-WAN is at the beginning of the technology stack journey.
AI and automation represent the next phase of capitalizing on extensive insights and data already generated by SD-WAN systems. For example, cloud AI is now used with SD-WAN intrusion protection to reduce false positives.
