A software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) extends the benefits of the software-defined networking (SDN) architecture beyond the data center to the enterprise WAN. SD-WAN abstracts network hardware into a control plane and multiple data planes that can be used with cloud-based management and automation to virtualize enterprise WAN connections and simplify the delivery of services between remote and branch offices to data centers and the cloud.
