Think about the critical role an orchestra plays in a great Broadway production, helping to bring it to life and move the story forward. Similarly, a centralized orchestrator can help you to deliver a successful SD-WAN deployment, ensuring your apps and business perform at their best.

If you’re an existing Citrix SD-WAN customer or just exploring Citrix SD-WAN, it’s never been a better time to check out the solution’s cloud management capabilities. After all, it’s the brains of the whole operation.

When applications resided in a datacenter and your workforce was mostly in branch offices managing your WAN was a routine task. Now that apps are in a public clouds like Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud or SaaS-based and your workforce is highly distributed, working from home, the office, and in between, managing your WAN can be time consuming and costly.

Networks are inherently unpredictable. Even when you do have visibility, you have to be able to react with lightning speed to reduce disruptions to users. Using direct internet access can speed up the performance of cloud apps. But without visibility, you’re exposed to an ever-increasing attack surface in a constantly evolving threat landscape, and it becomes harder than ever to stop attackers’ new tactics. The complexity of managing silos of networking and security infrastructure can be compounded by a lack of resources and shrinking budgets.
