Users, devices, IoT, IT systems and applications all need to be accessible from anywhere and work in conjunction with each other at their peak performance without compromising security. But this can present enterprises with its own set of challenges with some of the most common being:
- Navigating transitions: The shift from traditional LAN to SD-LAN or SD-Access poses a considerable challenge. Many large enterprises and public sector organisations lack in-house expertise and resources needed for the efficient deployment and management of intricate SD-LAN technologies
- Security concerns: Ensuring constant accessibility for users, devices and applications across multiple locations requires a meticulous design and security setup for SD-LAN technology, particularly in extensive and intricate networks. This can be challenging and time consuming especially in large and complex networks
- Performance issues: Users, systems, applications and infrastructure needs to be able to scale, support high capacity and always perform. This can be demanding on network resources because if not designed, deployed and managed correctly, can lead to performance issues that impact the business bottom line
