In the last issue, we learned what SD-WAN is. It is a "network superman" that can help enterprises solve the problems of traditional wide area networks in transmission speed, network stability, deployment flexibility, etc. In this issue, the editor will also take you to understand: Where can SD-WAN be used? What kind of enterprises are suitable for deploying SDWAN? Is it only suitable for industry giants?

The following are five typical scenarios in the SDWAN application industry. Let's see how SD-WAN "shows its magic" in the operation of enterprise networks

Industry scenario 1: Many chain stores - complex network? Don't be afraid, everything is online!

How to solve it? SD-WAN is equivalent to the brain. It can connect the headquarters with all stores in different directions, and intelligently divert traffic according to store traffic and business peak hours. By centrally managing the networks of all stores, the network experience of each store can be as stable and smooth as accessing the "intranet" of the headquarters, just like opening up the "Ren Du Meridian" for the entire enterprise intranet. This not only improves the efficiency of cash registers and the speed of inventory synchronization updates, but also enables real-time launch of new promotional activities, and network security and customer satisfaction are also taken to a higher level.

Industry scenario 2: Manufacturing - factory intelligent production? So easy!

You should know that factories are now all intelligent production lines, and production data and key instructions all rely on real-time network transmission. Equipment status needs to be monitored, production parameters need to be adjusted, and quality data needs to be uploaded. Once the network is disconnected, the entire intelligent production line will have to stop!

Industry scenario three: Finance and medical care - security and compliance first, network performance cannot be left behind!

Financial institutions and hospitals now rely on real-time networks to conduct business. Securities transactions require millisecond responses, remote consultations require high-definition video transmission, and electronic medical records must be accessed at any time. If the network is slightly stuck, it will be a huge loss or medical accident in minutes!

SD-WAN's "critical business assurance" solution is specially designed to solve various network problems: transaction instructions are always transmitted first, and the primary and backup lines are switched seamlessly; 4K medical images automatically allocate exclusive bandwidth to ensure that the consultation screen is not stuck; it can also intelligently identify the business type, so that the core data always goes through the safest channel. Even if there is network congestion, key business can still run smoothly!

Typical business scenario 1: Cross-border enterprises-network "translators" that break national boundaries

When enterprises conduct cross-border business, especially when they need to frequently access overseas applications and data centers, traditional network architectures often "cannot adapt to the local environment": slow access, high packet loss rate, or even unable to open foreign websites or applications at all.

SD-WAN can intelligently select different network exits, such as local broadband, cross-border dedicated lines, etc., and optimize access paths in real time to bypass congested or unstable lines. For scenarios such as foreign trade, e-commerce, and overseas offices, it is like hiring a "network translator" who knows multiple languages and is familiar with traffic rules, so that you can have unimpeded access around the world.

Typical business scenario 2: Remote office-from now on, meetings will not be stuck, and collaboration will be smoother!

In recent years, the demand for "remote work and business trip work" has increased, and it has become the standard for many companies. However, the most common pain points encountered when working away from home are video conference freezes, slow system access, and difficulty downloading internal materials... affecting efficiency and mood.

Summary: SD-WAN, the "universal glue" for enterprise digital transformation
