In addition to improving performance, cost efficiency is often an attraction for the adoption of new technologies. Especially if the technology is said to replace old technology which has been quite expensive. However, in some cases, new technology can be implemented alongside the old technology. One example can occur with SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Networks) and MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching).

However, this technology is more expensive and complicated to manage and is only offered by certain companies.

Meanwhile, in many companies, traditional WAN (Wide Area Network) no longer meets the changing needs and conditions. Therefore, nowadays, almost all over the world, SD-WAN is the choice of many companies to upgrade their network, which offers various advantages compared … Read More
