Gartner defines SD-WAN as functionality primarily used to connect branch locations to other enterprise and cloud locations. SD-WAN products provide dynamic path selection based on business or application policy, routing, centralized orchestration of policy and management of appliances, virtual private network (VPN), and zero-touch configuration. SD-WAN products are WAN transport/carrier-agnostic and create secure paths across physical WAN connections. SD-WAN products replace traditional branch routers and enable connectivity between enterprise branch locations as well as the cloud. They facilitate WAN connectivity’s evolution from Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-centric to public internet-centric in support of enterprise traffic shifts from private data centers to public cloud and SaaS.

"Improving Network Availability with Dual-Gateway Networking"
I am responsible for our company's IT work. With the digital transformation of PinaAn Group's Services, more and more services are gradually migrated to the public cloud.The demand for branch egress bandwidth increases. Traditional private line expansion costs high . Therefore , more cost-effective Internet Lines need to be introduced to enable branches to securely access public cloud. To meet the requirements of digital transformation and high availability , dual-gateway high-reliability networking is required to reduce service interruption risks caused by single points of failure. Huawei SD-WAN solution provides various interface types to support different types of line access, meet the hybrid management capability of private networks and Internet, and support various application intelligent traffic steering capabilities to meet site bandwidth requirements. In addition , Huawei SD-WAN solution supports various models, including physical CPE, It also supports vCPEs series to meet the Deployment requirements of Huawei CLOUD and Alibaba CLOUD public clouds. It supports various ZTP deployment modes, ensuring the efficiency of IT service provisioning and service experience within our group. In addition, Huawei supports the dual-gateway active-activecapabilities to support link-level , device-level, site-level HA, providing high network availability . Huawei SD-WAN platform provides network-wide visualized O&M capabilities, supports multi-tenant and right- and domain-based capabilities , meets Ping An Group's internal department' service division requirements , and quickly locates and recovers services.
"Harnessing the Power of Cisco Products Beyond Customer Support"
Great experience implementing new products with Cisco. Goes beyond just simple customer support, but has provided outstanding support on truly understanding what we are looking to accomplish. The only improvement to request is to have better communication between the local presence and the US global headquarters.
