SD-WAN at a glance

Entry from the Customer and Sales Perspective

ExperTeach Networking Logo

The use of cloud solutions, mobile working and home office as well as edge computing are all the rage and mean that WAN networking has to adapt. Static enterprise WANs based on MPLS are often no longer able to optimally map the new requirements. A large proportion of computing power is consumed outside the company's own data centers, and the location at which the computing power is provided can change very quickly. The WAN must be able to react to this.

Software-defined WANs (SD-WANs) provide this flexibility. The underlay/overlay architectures with local break-outs to the internet are very agile and also offer customers many advantages such as high visibility of events in the network, integrated cloud connections, including to SaaS applications, micro-segmentation and optimization of data transmission. These benefits are offset by new challenges, with security playing a particularly important role. Direct Internet break-out requires a very high level of local security, with SASE solutions representing an even more powerful alternative and becoming increasingly popular.

Classroom training

Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!

Hybrid training

Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.

Online training
