Time
Using a traditional WAN when a company creates a new network at a branch office will take time. Although in general the duration is almost the same, SD-WAN network products installation can be done faster thanks to Zero Touch Provision technology. Failover time when there is a move from one link to another becomes almost imperceptible with the support of Link Steering / Dynamic Multipath Optimization (DMPO) technology.
