WAN acceleration is helping businesses improve efficiency and speed.

To some, Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs) are a revolution, providing the ability to identify the nature of data flows, prioritise them and deliver homogeneity of performance. This permits IT departments to deploy them “seamlessly between the decentralisation and globalisation of its enterprise footprint and its desire to have traffic managed through a central monitoring setup”, says Todd Kiehn, VP of Product Management GTT. He states this in his IT Pro Portal article, ‘The impact of SD-WAN adoption on digital transformation and corporate strategy’. 

So, what is the impact of SD-WANs; and why could they benefit from a WAN data acceleration overlay? David Trossell explains why SD-WANs don't often live up to expectations when it comes to dealing with latency and packet loss.
