What is SD-WAN?
Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is a major branch of Software Defined Networking (SDN). It applies SDN technologies to WAN management. The main goal of SD-WAN is to use a series of technical methodology such as software technology, application strategy deployment, and overlay network to achieve the following:
Simplify network architecture by comprehensively using multiple links, improve network quality and connection flexibility, and reduce costs.
Automatically select the best path based on the applications configuration setting to implement load balancing and ensure network quality.

Application Scenarios
Interconnection Between Branches and Data Centers and Interconnection Between Multiple Branches
For enterprises with multiple branches and complex WAN environments, NOVAnet® SD-WAN can resolve difficult problems such as massive store launching and O&M as well as complex WAN management, expand existing IT facilities, provide any combination of multiple links and continuous network O&M services, so as to quickly realize a lower-cost, efficient and secure network interconnections between multiple branches or between data centers and branches.
Application Optimization
For applications with high network quality requirements, such as video conferencing, IP voice, remote desktop, payment transaction system, etc., LTE SD-WAN can provide different QoS and adopt different link switching and optimization modes for these applications, for example, NACK, FEC, and Jitter Buffer, thereby ensuring the SLA of key applications across the enterprise.
Deployment of Hybrid Cloud Services
NOVAnet® SD-WAN integrates NOVAnet® backbone network and public cloud resources to help enterprises quickly realize fast access among data centers, branches/stores and public clouds, simplify the hybrid cloud architecture of the enterprise, accelerate cloud service deployment, and ensure services continuity.
