A company is transitioning its network operations to a more flexible and management efficient architecture due to its rapidly evolving service demands. They are particularly interested in centralized control of network devices without having to individually configure each device at their physical locations. Which solution would best fit their needs?
Software-defined networking (SDN) is centered around the abstraction of lower-level functionality and separation of the control logic from the physical hardware, allowing centralized management of network policies via a controller. This makes SDN ideal for scenarios where centralized network control and management efficiency are critical. In contrast, while both SD-WAN and Zero Trust Architecture support aspects of network control, SD-WAN focuses more on optimizing WAN connections and application performance over wide area networks, and Zero Trust Architecture is primarily about security, not centralized network management.
