Addressing Network Operation Challenges with AI-enhanced SD-WAN and Private 5G

WAN is the network that connects your company headquarters with other branch offices. The employees working in the branch offices reach the company data centre for resources. With the evolution of cloud computing, mobility and remote working have further intensified the significance of WAN. Even before the pandemic, 54% of the enterprise workloads were on the cloud, and post-pandemic, more and more work was shifted to the cloud. Large enterprises scale their activities and require robust operation without manual intervention. It is here that an AI-powered SD-WAN comes to your aid. AI-SD-WAN will help stay ahead of the curve even in complex environments.

AI-powered SD-WAN for intelligent and resilience traffic routing
Any technology’s role is to make work easier, and for SD-WAN, it is to provide resilient connectivity for best performance. Here, the job is to provide intelligent and dynamic traffic routing. Though a good SD-WAN can intelligently probe available paths from one location to another, cloud-hosted services establish a watch for degradation of performance or identifying link failure.

The problem arises when the environment is complex. It does not matter whether connectivity is kept alive; what matters is providing an enriched user experience. With more sites opting for multiple internet links from different ISPs, the available oaths from user to service or user to user will also grow, and choosing the best path will get harder and harder.

Different traffic types complicate the picture; on one path, a large number of small packets are delivered, and on another path, a small number of large packets are delivered. AI finds the best possible path for traffic users. AI analyses the traffic and directs it to the right path. They base actions on the traffic type. AI-powered SD-WAN sees patterns and redirects the traffic through alternate routes. While dealing with rerouting traffic during interruption or cable cuts, AI SD-WAN works with what is on hand to ensure the performance goes on.

AI is all set to take your traffic routing to the next level. Besides monitoring, AI SD-WAN also predicts what action should be taken based on the traffic. For instance, AI-driven SD-WAN sees the internet pattern, predicts crashes, and moves traffic through alternate routes. Besides rerouting traffic during a crash or disruption of services, intelligent SD-WAN maintains performance with what is available. Though it may not deploy high-overhead traffic conditioning functionality like packet multipathing or forward error correction, it will proactively shift it to specific traffic streams in anticipation of an event.

AI-driven SD-WAN for security.
It is possible to secure cloud access and enforce enterprise policies depending on the visibility of traffic flow among services and users and the capability to partition traffic at random into virtual WANs. It is crucial to stop hackers and threats on time to limit the damages. For this, it is necessary to have an intelligence-bolster security functionality, which is available with AI-powered SD-WAN. It understands baseline regular traffic, attributes specific entities, spots anomalous behaviours and alerts the admin for quick automated action.

Private 5G and security
Mobile networks are often marred by limited or no security control over traffic, but this is not the case anymore with private 5G. The latest private 5G brings top-class security to the enterprise 5G environment. Now, you can stay ahead of the race by eliminating persistent attacks targeted against mobile users, IT, and IoT. Private 5G offers consistent security, transforming your digital business environment. It can identify infected devices in real time and block the malware before it can take control of your device.

Stay secure with private 5G adoption, which helps safeguard critical data and applications by warding off threats and adhering to regulatory compliance. Now, you can control your mobile environment through secure multi-access edge computing, network slices, and private networks. It helps boost cybersecurity without the worry of slowing down innovation speed.
Take complete advantage of private 5 G technology with enterprise-grade security over 5G traffic. Moreover, you can enjoy unprecedented mobile traffic control for faster security, which helps identify infected users and devices in real-time.
