Software-Defined WAN Solutions

Azure virtual WAN has been deployed in our corporation to unify our networking and routing workflows. We are able to connect hubs between endpoints in a simplified way in a standard virtual WAN. We are using its powerful branch connectivity features to automate connectivity with SD-WAN and its other partner devices.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Provides a view of end-to-end flow across Azure allowing for automatic troubleshooting.
We are able to seamlessly connect our virtual networks to Azure hub.
Site to Site VPN connectivity automates on premise and Azure hub connections.

Things done well

Integrations are limited within Azure. It is difficult to carry out multi-cloud integrations.
If you haven't understood your monthly cost you can receive price shocks.

Things done poorly

Azure Virtual WAN provides single functional interphase for routing, monitoring, connectivity and security operations. The connection of hubs in Azure virtual WAN makes it simple for us to use Microsoft as the pillar of our spoke connectivity. The platform provides us with robust connectivity features that allow for transitive connectivity across different spokes. However, you should always ensure you have  understood your total cost of ownership to avoid potential price bombshells.
