Abstract

This article is based on conducting research to analyze the benefits of emerging trends in communications and networking technology, such as software-defined wide area networks. Using Waterfall as a methodology, the main objective is to carry out a technical comparison at the design and configuration level, creating a virtual environment that simulates traditional and SDWAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) infrastructures. The results obtained verify that the benefits of SDWAN maintain business continuity, anticipate situations in which the infrastructure can act intelligently, optimize connectiv-ity while maintaining security, and provide improvements in the management of the entire infrastructure. People will be able to see the results obtained between both technologies and validate the benefits that SDWAN offers .

Highlights

  • Nowadays, for many companies, communications are a vital part of the business continuity, in this process the infrastructure and technology that carry out this activity goes unnoticed.All companies that provide services need to maintain an agile data transmission, as well as an infrastructure that supports it

  • 1) Testing Traditional wide area networks (WAN): The tests are based on evaluating two scenarios, one without saturation and the other with saturation in order to evaluate the behavior of a traditional WAN network

  • The objective of these tests is to validate that the current technology is connection oriented and does not have an intelligence that adapts to changes in the network and can make routing decisions that benefit more stable connectivity in case of intermittences or saturation

Summary

Introduction

For many companies, communications are a vital part of the business continuity, in this process the infrastructure and technology that carry out this activity goes unnoticed.All companies that provide services need to maintain an agile data transmission, as well as an infrastructure that supports it. Connectivity between the company’s headquarter, branch offices and data center is a very important aspect because it is necessary to provide services to its customers continuously and with high availability. For this reason, most companies opt to use private networks that are deployed and managed by external service providers, today a new technology is being used called SDWAN to communicate all the company’s sites. SDWAN is a relatively new technology in the world since it is only about 3 years since it became more widely known and it is being adopted by more companies every year
