The critical role of NFV orchestration for SD-WAN services
- 2. What is software-defined wide area network? SD-WAN determines the most cost-effective and efficient way to route enterprise traffic to remote locations over ubiquitous broadband and traditional IP/MPLS
- 3. MPLS dedicated connectivity Expensive Internet Connectivity SD-WAN High performance 3 months Cost efficient Quality not guaranteed 1 week Reduced cost per Mbps High performance through traffic offload & MPLS Fast deployment through broadband and automation best-efforts internet Say $300-600/Mbps per month Say $2-15/Mbps per month Combines the best of MPLS and Broadband
