Cisco Intelligent Wide Area Network (IWAN) customers are achieving remarkable savings in WAN costs, and typically achieving ROI within 6-12 months. IWAN is helping them simplify WAN design, improve network responsiveness, and accelerate deployment of new network services. Now, there's an authoritative single-source guide to Cisco IWAN: all you need to understand, design, and deploy it with maximum value and minimum network cost. A team of leading Cisco experts cover all of IWAN's key technologies and components, including:
- Dynamic Multipoint VPN (VPN)
- Routing on overlay networks
- Performance Routing (PfR)
- Application Visibility and Control (AVC)
- Cisco Wide Area Application Service
- Akamai Connect
- Cisco Cloud Web Service (CWS)
- Native router security, and more
The authors explain how IWAN goes beyond traditional WAN solutions to drive dramatic business improvements, and how it combines transport-independent design with intelligent path control, application optimization, and secure connectivity. They address issues ranging from visibility and provisioning to troubleshooting and optimization. They also offer extensive practical guidance on deploying IWAN into existing networks, and migrating towards an IWAN solution.
