Découvrez-en plus sur la technologie SD-WAN et comment elle peut soutenir une stratégie IoT à mesure qu'elle prend de l'ampleur.
Un SD-WAN est défini par logiciel, ce qui signifie qu'il est configuré de manière programmatique pour suivre des règles opérationnelles définies par l'entreprise propriétaire du WAN.
L'infrastructure réseau des entreprises se compose souvent de multiples connexions et méthodes de transport, telles qu'une combinaison de 4G LTE, 5G, haut débit et Wi-Fi. Une solution SD-WAN peut efficacement se superposer à toutes ces connexions pour simplifier la gestion du réseau.
Le SD-WAN peut automatiquement acheminer le trafic de données vers le lien WAN le plus approprié, en fonction des caractéristiques du trafic et des conditions du réseau. Ainsi, si un lien risque d'être surchargé, le trafic peut être redirigé vers un autre chemin afin de maintenir des niveaux de performance optimaux.
Pour garantir des performances fiables, les entreprises peuvent souhaiter donner la priorité à certaines catégories de services, comme les appels vidéo pour le service client, par exemple. La technologie SD-WAN permet aux entreprises de mettre en œuvre des politiques de qualité de service, grâce auxquelles les catégories de trafic peuvent être automatiquement dirigées vers des chemins spécifiques en fonction des préférences de l’entreprise.
Bien que ce système soit souvent une bonne option pour relier des bureaux distants au siège d’une entreprise, il n’a pas été conçu pour gérer le volume et la nature dynamique du trafic de données pouvant résulter d’un grand nombre d’appareils IoT ou de la mobilité des utilisateurs informatiques. Cela peut entraîner une pression ou une variabilité sur la bande passante des données, ce qui provoque une baisse de la qualité des performances et une mauvaise expérience utilisateur. De plus, il peut être coûteux de mettre à niveau une solution MPLS existante pour répondre à de nouvelles initiatives IoT.
En revanche, le Software-Defined Networking (SDN) utilise des contrôleurs basés sur des logiciels pour communiquer avec le matériel réseau et diriger le trafic réseau. Ainsi, au lieu de devoir programmer de nombreux dispositifs matériels séparés, les administrateurs peuvent contrôler leurs réseaux simplement en utilisant un seul contrôleur basé sur un logiciel.
Le SDN a d'abord été utilisé pour rendre la gestion des réseaux locaux plus efficace. Cependant, le SD-WAN reprend ce principe et l’améliore. Avec une solution SD-WAN, le SDN crée une superposition basée sur un logiciel sur l'ensemble du réseau étendu, permettant de gérer ce réseau de manière beaucoup plus efficace.
Une solution SD-WAN comporte généralement un hub de contrôle unique. Cela facilite grandement le déploiement de politiques de gestion du réseau alignées sur les priorités de l’entreprise. Par exemple, vous pouvez établir une règle stipulant que le trafic de données provenant de certaines catégories d’utilisateurs est acheminé uniquement via des connexions sécurisées. Chaque fois que vous mettez à jour votre politique, celle-ci est immédiatement téléchargée sur tous les appareils concernés.
Avec le SD-WAN, le trafic peut être acheminé automatiquement par le chemin le plus approprié, ce qui vous aide à minimiser les points de défaillance uniques et à maintenir les niveaux de performance. Un hub de contrôle offre également une visibilité sur l'ensemble de votre parc IoT, vous permettant d’identifier et de résoudre les goulots d’étranglement en matière de connectivité et d’examiner la bande passante consommée par chaque application IoT.
Le SD-WAN vous permet d’isoler le trafic IoT des autres types de trafic sur le réseau et d’appliquer la méthode de sécurité souhaitée pour différentes catégories d’appareils, de trafic et d’utilisateurs. Cela vous aide à protéger votre réseau, à réduire vos risques et à garantir la continuité de vos activités.
