Replacing Legacy Branch Routers with SD-WAN

Network engineering and operations leaders have struggled to incorporate digital innovation initiatives at branch and remote locations due to the limits of traditional WAN infrastructures featuring legacy routers. Specific problem areas include:

Business application performance issues due to traffic bottlenecks
Increasing costs due to expensive multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) connectivity
Limited infrastructure visibility and associated security issues

The Path Toward WAN Edge Consolidation

WAN edge simplification

Fortinet Secure SD-WAN consolidates point products to simplify branch infrastructure. This enables bandwidth-constrained network teams to facilitate the transition to SD-WAN.

WAN TCO reduction

Fortinet Secure SD-WAN reduces WAN costs while providing better security at the edge (e.g., use of direct internet connections, application awareness for bandwidth management, automation, etc.). Indeed, Fortinet Secure SD-WAN delivered the lowest TCO per Mbps based on real-life scenarios in the latest NSS Labs testing.

Overall business agility

A Fortinet Secure SD-WAN Assessment Report can help network engineering and operations leaders to target specific problem areas with existing branch infrastructure to facilitate the transition to SD-WAN implementation.

Benefits of Secure SD-WAN

Increased Flexibility
Software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN) give tremendous flexibility and scalable at your fingertips. Traditional MPLS needs an ISP to help deploy and maintain them. With SD-WAN that has all changed, giving ultimate control back to your IT team and End Users.
Simplified Operations
Through features such as zero-touch provisioning, centralised management, and integration and automation using a single pane of glass means your IT and business operations will be more efficient and more effective.
Improved Security
Utilising next-generation firewalls (NGFW) such as Meraki and Fortinet means your WAN is the most secure solution, utilising best-of-breed technologies. Whether you need help with edge security, application control, web filtering, or path control, we have you covered.
Lower Cost
SD-WANs bring tremendous cost saving over traditional MPLS solutions. Now you can utilise cheap public-facing internet solutions such as fibre or NBN, but, get the same level of resiliency and security as a traditional solution.
