13. APP ACCELERATION
SD-WAN can provide for a means to speed up
applications through a direct link to the computing
platform (like AWS or even Microsoft Office365) or
WAN optimization techniques.

14. LOAD BALANCING
Load balancing and link bonding can help ease
congestion by monitoring two broadband circuits
(cable modem, DSL, 4G/LTE or even fixed wireless)
for the best route. These functions allow for rapid
deployment of circuits, instead of waiting on
specialized MPLS links to be installed.

15. SD-WAN
 Cost control
 Lowers overhead for WAN setup, mgmt and
maintenance
Can be outsourced / managed by vendor
− save staff
Faster Provisioning
BC/DR
Greater WAN visibility
Higher need for security (more DIA)
