Companies are faced with a difficult task when choosing the right platform for their business.ย Each organization will experience different impacts due to variables such as latency, packet loss, and jitter. This is dependent on the IT environment of each company and their traffic priorities, including voice and video.ย The platform decision will also be affected by issues like where applications are located and where firewalls can be found.
MNJ Technologies, a managed services provider, is solving this problem by providing an SD-WAN demo lab that allows you to test-drive multiple SD-WAN platforms, including Cisco and Cloudgenix, Meraki, Oracle/Talari, and Silver Peak, to determine which one suits your business best.
The demo lab has a WAN emulation system that can simulate any type of circuit and bandwidth. It can also show exact thresholds for when products failover.
MNJ’s Ben Niernberg explains how these capabilities facilitate SD-WAN deployments.
