Traditional WAN solutions are riddled with the wave of digital transformation. Increasing traffic and increasing voice and video bandwidth consumption with cloud services introduces network bottlenecks and higher cost of ownership. SD-WAN offers a compelling alternative, which is why many companies are accepting it. But SD-WAN is not without challenges, including the quality degradation of sensitive applications such as video and voice, as well as the difficulty of performance management and the breadth of support for different applications and services. In addition, many SD-WAN solutions are not inherently secure, and security is an added solution that is itself a risk to be considered.
Fortinet's FortiGate SD-WAN addresses many of the challenges of secure SD-WAN deployments and is the only NGFW security vendor to receive a "Recommended" rating in NSS Labs' first software-defined WAN report. Voice and video are the two most difficult business-critical features to prevent downgrades, and even in the event of a power outage, the FortiGate SD-WAN has almost no quality loss. Test results also show that the FortiGate SD-WAN delivers outstanding VPN performance and is integrated into Fortinet's award-winning next-generation firewall, which has recently received a "recommended" rating from NSS Labs for the fifth time in a row, blocking 100%. Escape and provide high SSL performance. Combining a high-performance SD-WAN with the award-winning NGFW ensures that organizations enjoy all the benefits of SD-WAN while maintaining data security. The FortiGate SD-WAN solution balances security, performance and value.
