How SD-WAN Simplifies Healthcare Network Infrastructure

Software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN) are growing in healthcare because of their potential for centralized management and better software, simplifying healthcare network infrastructure. The technology’s potential has inspired vendors to produce more cutting edge network products, as well as partner with other network vendors to produce more complete software-defined solutions, according to a recent Transparency report.Software-defined networking (SDN) uses virtualization to remove the intelligent management software from network hardware, which creates a centralized, more intelligent, and easier managed network architecture. SDN allows network administrators to manage the network through abstraction, which gives apps and programs a simplified platform to operate on.
