WAN Migration to Alkira Cloud Backbone
Wide Area Networks (WAN) are fundamental to any enterprise’s global connectivity needs. The benefits of a specific WAN solution do not only depend on the vendor, functionality and the features being used, but they also heavily rely on the architecture and its relevance in the context of the deployment requirements.
As a result, historically, with every changing business requirement, the WAN had to go through a transformation based on the nature of the change. Currently, we are in the midst of one of the most significant WAN transformations fueled by the motions of applications migration from on-premises data centers to one or multiple public cloud and SaaS environments, explosion in remote connectivity demand, and the need for on-demand elastic global connectivity. All these are forcing enterprises to evolve their traditional WAN architectures from the centralized monolithic on-premises model to a software-defined distributed model fully compatible with the cloud attributes of agility, scale and high availability.
