MPLS, SD-WAN and the Evolution of SASE
In the evolving technology landscape, two solutions remain the cornerstones of enterprise networking: MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) and SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide Area Networking). Both offer distinct advantages, and understanding these can help organisations make informed decisions about their network architecture. This, in turn, will support the modern distributed workforce, the ongoing adoption of Cloud platforms and applications, and the resulting demand for a new breed of cyber security.
In this report, we will introduce these two solutions and their respective advantages, then explore the ongoing convergence of networking and security - represented by SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) - helping you make an informed decision about your own organisation’s networking journey.
