Why SD-WAN?

What Is SD-WAN?

A software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is a wide area network that uses software-defined network technology, such as communicating over the Internet using overlay tunnels which are encrypted when destined for internal organization locations.

This concept resembles how software-defined networking implements virtualization technology to improve data center management and operation.

The Differences between SD-WAN and Traditional VPN Technology

Picture2

What’s the Challenge of Traditional WAN Network?

Growing Business Vulnerability

Legacy WANs heighten business vulnerability. The hub-and-spoke design of traditional MPLS WANs introduces a single point of failure. Fixed IP-based VPN connections increase the potential attack surface.

Escalating Complexity and Costs

Constant expansions of networking products lead to increased operational complexity, higher maintenance costs, impedes the adoption of new technology, and escalates growth expenses.

Deteriorating Workforce Experience

Backhauling cloud traffic through the data center degrades users’ experience, and limited visibility into end-to-end performance exacerbates diagnosis challenges.

SD-WAN Architecture

Internet-Based SD-WAN

Internet-based SD-WAN offers a cost-effective and intelligent solution for enterprises seeking to improve their network infrastructure while controlling expenses, making it a viable choice for those transitioning from IPsec VPNs or businesses that require domestic connectivity only. This network architecture comprises four essential components: Network Access Engine (NAE), Network Forwarding Engine (NFE), public internet, and SD-WAN Intelligent Controller.

Network Access Engine (NAE)

The NAEs installed on branch CPEs manage network access for ICT systems while simultaneously optimizing application performance. To accommodate diverse deployment scenarios and cater to specific business requirements, CPEs can be configured flexibly with either built-in 4G/5G modules or external extenders as needed.

Network Forwarding Engine (NFE)

CPEs deployed at headquarters or data centers, powered by NFEs, handle traffic forwarding and can be set up as a cluster to ensure load balancing and redundancy protection.

The Internet (Underlayer)

Typically, the internet comprises fixed broadband, ADSL, and 4G/5G connections. Organizations can also utilize their existing MPLS, DIA (Direct Internet Access), or other leased lines as the underlying infrastructure.

SD-WAN Intelligent Controller

Serving as the central intelligence hub, the SD-WAN Intelligent Controller plays a vital role in monitoring and managing the network's overall performance. It leverages the patented WAN optimization features, including FastIP and Turbo-Burst, to address the challenges of the dynamic nature of the public internet, thereby enhancing end-to-end application performance.

Backbone-Based SD-WAN

Backbone-based SD-WAN, backed by Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and providing MPLS-equivalent quality with substantial cost efficiency, is well-suited for organizations previously reliant on MPLS or looking to connect their global business. This network architecture comprises four primary components: Network Access Engine (NAE), Points of Presence (PoPs), the backbone network, and the SD-WAN Intelligent Controller.

Backbone-Based SD-WAN

Network Access Engine (NAE)

NAE, whether installed on physical or virtual CPEs at organization sites or in the cloud, efficiently manages network access for ICT systems while enhancing application performance.

Points of Presence (PoP)

PoPs (Points of Presence) are powered by the Network Forwarding Engine (NFE) and strategically situated in top-tier data centers like Equinix. Their primary roles are network traffic forwarding and performance measurements.

Backbone Network (Underlay)

The backbone network is constructed using an International Ethernet Private Line (IEPL) or MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) provided by leading global carriers.

SD-WAN Intelligent Controller

Hosted in the cloud, the Intelligent Controller functions as the orchestrator and manager for the backbone network and all interconnected NAEs. It collects data from all network components and leverages comprehensive big data analysis, along with our patented Cloud Switch technology, to optimize data flow through intelligent routing algorithms.

Hybrid SD-WAN

Hybrid SD-WAN, operating across a combination of the internet, OBC private backbone, and MPLS of other leased networks, offers multifaceted advantages for organizations. It optimizes network performance by intelligently routing traffic across the most suitable paths, enhancing application reliability and user experience.
his network architecture comprises four essential components: Network Access Engine
(NAE), Network Forwarding Engine (NFE), a hybrid network, and SD-WAN Intelligent Controller.

Hybrid SD-WAN

Network Access Engine (NAE)

The NAEs on branch CPEs manage network access and enhance application performance. CPEs can be configured flexibly with 4G/5G modules or external extenders as needed for different situations.

Network Forwarding Engine (NFE)

The NFEs deployed with headquarters or data centers CPEs perform traffic forwarding and can be configured as a cluster to ensure load balancing and redundancy protection.

Hybrid Network (Underlayer)

Hybrid networks have diverse connectivity options, including the cost-effective and dynamic public internet, the reliability of the OBC private backbone, and a MPLS or other dedicated performance of leased line networks.

SD-WAN Intelligent Controller

The SD-WAN Intelligent Controller effectively manages and optimizes hybrid networks by dynamically steering traffic between various connections, based on application priorities and network conditions. It leverages OBC patented WAN optimization features, including FastIP and Turbo-Burst, to address the challenges of the dynamic nature of the public internet. This results in improved application performance, reduced downtime, and enhanced cost-efficiency, empowering organizations to seamlessly operate across diverse network environments..
