From the Top: Does MPLS Matter?
App performance is everything — your network should reflect that. SD-WAN can use broadband, wireless, or MPLS but many performance-sensitive apps may require the private, reliable connectivity of MPLS. (2:00)
MPLS in an SD-WAN World
MPLS in an SD-WAN environment is like a private express lane for your data traffic. Avoid negative impacts from latency and jitter by routing performance-sensitive apps over private, reliable MPLS connections. (2:14)
How is Lumen helping customers with SD-WAN?
Lumen couples SD-WAN solutions from leading companies — such as VM WARE, Cisco and Versa — with the right underlying network connectivity to build a network that meets the needs of your apps. (1:14)
