Description:  Corporate networks are stretched thin by cloud services, SaaS applications, and mobility. Plus, organizations require better connections to branch offices to deliver higher-quality network services.

As organizations transition to a digital business model, their network topologies are significantly impacted. The adoption of cloud services, the virtualization of the traditional network, and an increasingly mobile workforce accessing applications in the cloud are accelerating advancements in wide area networking technologies.

The traditional WAN is struggling to keep up because it relies on a static infrastructure of devices that simply can’t accommodate shifting and often temporary resource allocation and workloads. In this workshop, participants learn how Secure SD-WAN solves these problems.

Participants who attend this workshop will learn how to:

• Apply software-defined networking (SDN) to software control of wide area networks in an enterprise environment
• Implement application control and traffic shaping over SD-WAN
• Use SD-WAN Overlay Templates to facilitate SD-WAN deployments
• Use FortiManager to enable unified policy across multiple enterprise branches
• Configure SD-WAN on a standalone FortiGate
• Configure virtualized products supporting WAN aggregation while gaining hand-on experience
