B49: (𝗩𝗗-𝗟𝗔𝗡)Âł đŸ–„ïžđŸ’Œ

SD-LAN extends the principles of Software Defined Networking (SDN) that has already been proven in SD-WAN to provide similar benefits for the local wired and wireless networks. These include centralized management, identity-driven access and scalability of a centrally managed solution, self-healing and self-optimization, and last but not least, micro-segmentation.

SD-LAN extends the principles of Software Defined Networking (SDN) that has already been proven in SD-WAN to provide similar benefits for the local wired and wireless networks. These include centralized management, identity-driven access and scalability of a centrally managed solution, self-healing and self-optimization, and last but not least, micro-segmentation.

For simplicity, we can focus on 3 main benefits:

- Automation đŸŠŸ - A single dashboard for managing and enforcing network and security standards across all offices for LAN and Wi-Fi.

- Visibility 🔎 - A dual perspective: a complete inventory of all assets in each office and visualization of the user experience with the ability to identify performance issues and bottlenecks.

- Microsegmentation 🆔 - It enables secure access to enterprise resources based on user identity, device type, application, and even workloads, and regardless of location. This is a major advance over location and IP addressing-based access in a traditional LAN.

These three benefits complement and reinforce each other in the event of a security incident, such as an operating system vulnerability. The on-demand, automated deployment, comprehensive visibility, and strong, embedded security of an SD LAN environment, make it possible to respond in real time and deploy a patch to hundreds or thousands of devices at once, for example. Something that could take weeks or even months in a complex environment!

A final note: If both the WAN and LAN are ripe for transformation, a combined approach with both SD-LAN and SD-WAN, commonly called SD-Branch, is worth considering.

Our experts at EZcon have already completed several dozen SD-WAN and SD-LAN projects across a range of enterprise sizes - email us at sales@ezcon.de or post a comment with ✋.
