The covid 19 pandemic has made nearly every country worldwide to invoke some version of quarantine order. Many organizations have either recommended or mandated employees to work from home. The work–from–home users need to access their corporate applications with the same high-quality experience as they would have from their office.
But here is some challenge in especially in the network side for enable a remote digital workforce who work from home:
- They don’t have quality of service
- They can’t prioritize applications such as those for business over those for recreation
- They can’t mitigate congestion
- Network performance on consumer broadband is highly variable
- They are not managed by IT, so who will help if things don’t work?
Performance for software as a service (SaaS) and unified communication as a service (UCaaS) over the Internet isn’t ideal. Office 365, voice, video & virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) suffer with inconsistent wide area network performance, so the usefulness of these applications degrades. In order to improve performance of these applications, requirements for the home network include:
- The ability to monitor traffic and apply policies on demand
- A reliable connection to the cloud and access to multiple cloud networks
- Assured application performance Meeting these requirements takes more than a simple VPN. It requires SD-WAN
