Citrix SD-WAN: delivering superb experience with high security and reliability

Have you considered using SD-WAN in your business?  If you have, I’m sure you have been overwhelmed by the sheer number of different vendors who claim that they have SD-WAN.  The truth of the matter is, out of those nearly 50 vendors who claim to have SD-WAN, maybe only less than half really are SD-WAN products.  Many vendors like to claim that they have SD-WAN to gain your awareness or to get recognition in the future.  However, they are not true SD-WAN products and just add confusion to your purchasing decisions.

Gartner has also made the effort into reduce the overcrowded segment by cutting down its evaluation to 20 vendors, one of these vendors is Citrix.  Citrix has worked to ensure that its SD-WAN solution not only helps your company now, but also has a clear and long-term product road map.  This is what makes Citrix trusted globally by their customers in healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and retail industry.  They all agree that its reliable solution helps to balance the high expectations of experience, security, and choice.

Citrix SD-WAN solution is designed to improve your workspace experience for productivity and to task users together by simplifying provisioning and day-to-day management for IT and networking professionals.  This can be seen in an improvement to cloud based applications such as Office 365.  Employees from branch offices accessing Office 365 would be able to see a superior performance no matter where it is located due to Citrix partnering with Microsoft for a better egress and support via a partner box in their servers.

For customers moving to the cloud, Citrix SD-WAN can help you securely enable local branch-to-internet breakouts through a built-in stateful firewall.  It has been recognized as a robust solution for branch connectivity to the cloud as well as a solution for your single and multiple data centers.

Maximizing the use of available bandwidth with sophisticated link bonding and network-path conditioning helps mitigate loss, and avoid the jitter and latency issues, while providing efficient and reliable throughput for business-critical applications.

Citrix Connect: A Closer look into Citrix SD-WAN for your Business Critical Application

Citrix Connect: A Closer look into Citrix SD-WAN for your Business Critical Application

Looking to improve and secure connectivity and app performance for every location?

In today’s digital age, businesses rely heavily on network connectivity and applications to keep their operations running smoothly. A delay or a failure in network connectivity or an application can cost a business time, money, and even customers. Therefore, it is crucial for businesses to have a reliable and efficient network infrastructure in place that can handle their business-critical applications.

Citrix Connect: A Closer Look into Citrix SD-WAN for Your Business Critical Application is an article that will guide you through the benefits of Citrix SD-WAN and how it can help your business optimize its network and application performance.

What is Citrix SD-WAN?

Citrix SD-WAN is a software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) solution that provides secure and reliable network connectivity. It is a virtual overlay network that sits on top of your existing WAN infrastructure, such as MPLS, broadband, or LTE. Citrix SD-WAN optimizes your network and application performance by intelligently routing traffic based on business policies and network conditions. It also provides end-to-end encryption and secure access to cloud and SaaS applications.

How Does Citrix SD-WAN Work?

Citrix SD-WAN uses a hybrid architecture that combines the best of both worlds: private MPLS and public broadband. It enables you to leverage multiple network links, such as MPLS, broadband, and LTE, to create a virtual overlay network that provides secure and reliable connectivity. Citrix SD-WAN uses a centralized management platform that provides visibility and control over your network and application performance. It also uses advanced algorithms to dynamically route traffic based on business policies and network conditions, such as latency, jitter, and packet loss.

Join us in our upcoming event, Citrix Connect, as we learn first hand from our Citrix experts from Singapore on how you can improve your app performance while bringing down your overall expenses! 

The event will be on May 22, 2019 from 10AM to 2PM at the Discovery Primea Makati, Shakespeare function room.

Increase your Network Visibility to better use your business bandwidth with Cisco Meraki!

Increase your Network Visibility to better use your business bandwidth with Cisco Meraki!

Does your business have enough bandwidth?

Many businesses today are looking for ways to upgrade their current bandwidth because of user feedback, they complain mostly about slow browsing speeds.  Little do they know that there is a certain user in the office that is “torrenting” on the network, which results to bandwidth hogging and can even put the business at risk.

However, administrators can now feel reassured with Cisco Meraki’s Layer 7 application fingerprinting which gives them a better view of their network. Network administrators/managers can rely on this level of visibility every day to see beyond the size and rate of data transfers on their networks and gain insight into the actual behavior of their users. It’s useful to see patterns in large spikes of traffic on the network, but it’s even better to know whether those spikes are coming from online backup or from BitTorrent.

What’s better than traffic Visibility?  Traffic shaping!

So now the administrators have identified which applications (and most importantly, which users) are using more bandwidth than necessary, what can you do about it?

You can now create application-specific shaping policies for total control over your wired and wireless network. With the built-in Traffic Shaper in Cisco Meraki, shaping policies can be created that apply per user bandwidth limits for specific applications such as video streaming sites, as well as apply QoS (Quality of Service) priority levels at both Layer 2 and 3 to make sure your critical traffic gets prioritized across the network.

The Cisco Meraki portfolio includes wireless access points, switches, security appliances, and mobile device management solutions. What sets Cisco Meraki apart is that all of these are centrally managed from the cloud. This makes them significantly easier to deploy and manage than traditional networks.
