Introduction to Fortinet SDWAN 

In addition to enabling organizations to use WAN services more economically and effectively, SD-WAN also gives users more control over customer engagement, process optimization, and innovation.

It is possible to optimize application traffic with the use of WAN innovations that utilize additional carrier links to provide redundancy, load-balancing, and redundancy.

For the foreseeable future, SD-WAN solutions will continue to grow as a robust market due to the fact that they make WAN management more cost-effective.

According to SD-WAN experts and analysts, the best SD-WAN depends on the performance requirements of the organization's applications, as well as the organization's desire for cloud onramps and management centralized to reduce complexity in operating the SD-WAN.

A network firewall solution is also recommended in conjunction with SD-WAN for addressing security issues, since SD-WAN exposes branches directly to the internet.
