CloudGenix’s Autonomous SD-WAN: More Than an Upgrade

More Than an Upgrade

Whenever the new iPhone or gadget comes out, the features are usually a minimal upgrade from the previous version. Of course, this is not to downplay Apple as they make some incredible products. However, it is well known that they (like many other companies) incrementally release updates and upgrades to their product lines to maximize profit.

CloudGenix’s autonomous SD-WAN is more than an upgrade of the earlier SD-WAN. Their autonomous SD-WAN is an innovative advancement; practically a new product in its own right.

As your personal technology negotiator, we at Conectrix want to keep our clients informed about the best offerings that the industry has to offer. CloudGenix’s autonomous SD-WAN is certainly such an offering.

Overview of the Autonomous SD-WAN

Gartner placed CloudGenix, the category leader in enterprise SD-WAN, as a visionary in the 2019 Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure. This is in part because of their autonomous SD-WAN, which uses app-policies and global intelligence to deliver performance and security SLAs for all applications over any WAN. Think of the autonomous SD-WAN as a self-driving WAN network.

The Key Features

There are four main features of CloudGenix’s autonomous SD-WAN: it boosts productivity and increases cost savings; aligns app policies with your business; enables the use of any WAN transport; it improves user experience.

The Benefits

With app-policies aligned with business intent and with direct access to multi-cloud and dev-ops frameworks, users of the autonomous SD-WAN will experience increased productivity and cost savings compared to first-generation SD-WAN options. Network decisions are automated and corrective actions are instinctively made whenever performance or availability issues are encountered.

CloudGenix’s autonomous SD-WAN offers greater freedom. You will be able to incorporate any type of WAN into your branch office, letting you make connectivity decisions for each branch office and each application. Additionally, autonomous SD-WAN will improve the user experience. It prioritizes applications based on WAN performance and health metrics, then chooses the best available WAN link for you.

Autonomous SD-WAN in Action

One example that illustrates the great advantages of autonomous SD-WAN, is that it can preemptively tell you when an application has failed. Businesses must understand the health of their applications and establish baselines. When an application fails or there is a network-level brownout, you can know beforehand with an autonomous SD-WAN, rather than having to manually log in and run pings.
