Businesses are relying on more technology with cloud-based applications and remote work, requiring more bandwidth. As these needs rise, so do costs; network performance suffers and remote availability becomes more of a challenge.
One way to improve network performance is by reducing waste. It is important to know how data is being transferred, what applications use more bandwidth and what priorities need to be set. Implementing an SD-WAN solution provides visibility into a network and allows for setting usage policies and procedures, regulating by peak times. SD-WAN visibility also spans across all locations of a business and bonds together all connection types from fiber broadband to wireless LTE.
With Horizon SD-WAN, network administrators get a full self-service look into their network and can regulate and make adjustments according to their business needs. The best part? Our SD-WAN solution runs over our high performance fiber-optic network!
