How DPI Facilitates SD-WAN Features
With DPI at the core of Ultraconnect's SD-WAN infrastructure, network administrators gain deep visibility into network traffic at the packet level. This granular insight enables the identification and classification of individual applications, allowing for optimized performance and quality of service across diverse applications and network conditions.
By prioritizing and allocating network resources based on specific application requirements, Ultraconnect's DPI-enabled SD-WAN ensures consistent and reliable performance for critical applications. For instance, video conferencing, a vital collaboration tool for multinational corporations, can be assigned a higher priority, guaranteeing low latency and minimal packet loss. This prioritization ensures a seamless user experience, even in challenging network environments.
Moreover, Ultraconnect's DPI-based SD-WAN enables intelligent traffic steering. By leveraging DPI's application identification capabilities, critical traffic can be dynamically routed through the most suitable network paths. For example, cloud-based applications requiring low latency can be directed through paths with minimal latency, such as dedicated MPLS links or direct internet connections. This intelligent traffic steering optimizes application performance and user experience, maximizing productivity and efficiency.
DPI further improves the security features of the SD-WAN from Ultra Connect. DPI can efficiently identify and stop harmful activity including intrusion attempts, malware downloads, and data exfiltration by scanning packets for recognized signatures and anomalies. This strong security layer guarantees that the network is safe from outside threats, protecting sensitive data and ensuring business continuity.
Overall, the SD-WAN solution's inclusion of DPI technology gives global organizations superior application-driven networking capabilities. Ultraconnect provides seamless worldwide connectivity, intelligent traffic direction, and improved security, empowering companies to succeed in the current digital environment.
SD-WAN and SASE
Despite its many advantages, SD-WAN lacks the integrated security and access controls required to safeguard networks in cloud settings. To address this issue, Gartner has developed a brand-new networking and cybersecurity paradigm dubbed secure access service edge (SASE). A secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, firewall as a service, and Zero Trust network access are just a few security features SASE integrates with WAN capabilities. This combination makes Secure network access possible in both cloud and mobile contexts.
The current approach of relying on multiple point products for securing web gateways, application firewalls, VPN remote access, and others leads to administrative complexities, increased costs, and potential security gaps. SASE aims to streamline and simplify network security by providing a unified solution with consolidated management, reducing administrative burdens, and improving the overall security posture of an organization.
Gartner predicts that by 2024, approximately 40% of enterprises will have explicit strategies in place to adopt SASE, a significant increase from less than 1% at the end of 2018. This indicates the growing recognition and adoption of SASE as a solution for addressing the security and networking challenges faced by organizations in a cloud-centric environment.
