Is your company spread out in several locations around the country or globe? If so, the team at Telecom Consulting Group believes you should invest in a software-defined wide area network, or SD-WAN. This allows you to share data and additional information with satellite offices and any other remote locations on your network. Based in Pompano Beach, FL, the consulting company helps business owners choose the right telecommunications providers to suit their needs. 

Below, the staff at Telecom Consulting Group explains the top four benefits of SD-WAN:

• Extensive Range of Transport Options: Because SD-WAN operates virtually, information can be transported over a wide range of transport platforms, including internet, ethernet, Wi-Fi, 3G, or 4G technology. You can expect important documents, system reports, and additional data to be delivered across the network without any malfunctions, regardless of the application used. 
• Improved Security: Instead of delegated network security to each office branch, SD-WAN streamlines the process. All of the network’s security functions and protocols can be integrated into one place. The software is also outfitted to configure with web content filtering services and malware protection software, as added safety precautions. 
• Ability to Steer Traffic: SD-WAN allows businesses to manage traffic through multiple channels, including application profiles, internet protocol addresses, and port numbers. This technology is set at a central controller and then dispersed to satellite locations on the network. 
• Easy Transfer to Additional Devices: If your business has locations that aren’t on SD-WAN, the software can reconfigure the devices. Once the SD-WAN policies are downloaded, the devices will start to process all of the system traffic information available on the network.
