In recent years, the adoption of SD-WAN technologies has taken off, and shows no signs of slowing. As enterprises become increasingly reliant upon these technologies, it grows ever more critical to ensure optimal availability and services levels are delivered. Most SD-WAN technologies feature monitoring capabilities. However, as outlined in one of my prior posts, there are several key limitations to these offerings.
