The corporate world is increasingly globalized and connected. To guarantee the efficiency of its operation, a company that wants to act among the main players in the market, needs to be able to process files stored in units distributed around the world and allow access and exchange of information, remotely and in real time. Increasingly, companies are investing in digital transformation tools (DX) and 3rd Platform Technologies, such as cloud, big data and analytics, mobility and social business.
In order to support investment in these technologies, it is essential to develop a good network strategy, which allows quick, secure and effective access to this information, which is often confidential and crucial to the success of the business. The choice of the type of network to be used must be based on four points: cost-benefit, security, privacy and control.
In this scenario, we see a trend gaining a lot of strength in the international market, the SD-WAN - Software Defined WAN technology. Known as an excellent alternative to lower the cost and offer more security and control of the network, SD-WAN technology promises to dominate Brazil in the coming years. According to IDC forecasts, the global SD-WAN market is expected to reach US $ 8 billion in 2021, an expectation that reveals the promising global potential of this tool.
This growth will be driven by digital transformation (DX) and 3rd Platform Technologies. The trend is that these digital transformation technologies increase the flow of information, increasing the importance of the network for business.
The exchange of information via SD-WAN offers several advantages for companies, generating more agility, saving resources, greater latency control and more security for data stored in the cloud.

SD-WAN technology allows SDN to be formatted to quickly create an intelligent “hybrid WAN”, encompassing an IP VPN for businesses. SD-WAN can use any transmission protocol (ADSL, 4G, MPLS, dedicated links and the Internet), to provide the best costs and benefits for the most sensitive applications.
What is SD-WAN?
The term SD-WAN is an acronym that stands for Software-Defined Wide-Area Network. It is a term that relates to SDN(Software-Defined Networking) and is something that is used by thousands of companies across the country and further afield as they look to connect different parts of their business to a wireless network.
