Session 2: Constructing a Secure SD-WAN Architecture

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.

Agenda:

• 30 min theory presentation
• 15 min hands-on lab access and setup
• 75 min core lab exercises: SD-WAN Config in FortiManager, ADVPN, SD-WAN Overlay Templates
• Note: Participants will have access to the hands-on lab from 12-5pm ET

Prerequisites:

• Partner Portal access (needed for lab portion of the workshop)
• NSE Training Institute access (via Partner Portal)
• Session 1 strongly encouraged
