Given today’s technology trends, it is no surprise that SD-WAN remains the first choice for WAN connectivity. According to market research firm Dell’Oro Group, the SD-WAN market is expected to exceed USD 4 billion by 2025, while Gartner forecasts enterprise spending on SD-WAN products to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.1% from 2018 to 2023. Such growth and market size are unsurprising, as SD-WAN promises WAN connectivity that is faster, cheaper, more secure and easier to scale, deploy and manage.
Hillstone Networks is one of the world’s leading security companies, with solutions that protect many of its customers’ critical systems. One of them secures connectivity infrastructure with a unified platform chosen by customers worldwide, delivering cost-effective, end-to-end visibility and protection for every connection. Hillstone built its SD-WAN solution on its next-generation firewall (NGFW) platform, so customers get full SD-WAN functionality while staying protected by every NGFW security feature. Hillstone SD-WAN protects branch offices against new multilayer, multistage attacks and blocks ransomware and zero-day exploits.
Hillstone SD-WAN features
Choosing Hillstone SD-WAN means customers get the same security features as a full firewall, extending and increasing the value of their investment in the Hillstone Networks platform.
Hillstone SD-WAN has two main components:
- HSM (SD-WAN Controller) at headquarters
- Hillstone Next-Generation Firewalls at the branches
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) lets you create profiles that provision system settings automatically. NGFWs at the branches can be configured remotely and in bulk, so devices can be deployed quickly even at sites with no IT engineers.
Flexible deployment models
The SD-WAN solution supports many network topologies, so it fits each customer’s requirements and existing infrastructure.
Complete visibility
The solution gives a clear, detailed view of the whole network, from headquarters to every branch. The interface shows full system, software, security and malware information, and more.
Application management
Hillstone SD-WAN controls traffic by source address, destination address, service type or application. It also load-balances links (Active-Active) to keep connections up and make them more flexible, and steers each type of traffic over the most suitable link to optimise application performance.
Intelligent traffic steering
Hillstone SD-WAN lets you build control rules around business-oriented workflows. It provides intelligent control and differentiated routing between internal and public applications. Security policies, routing rules and even NAT configuration can be set automatically based on content and application type.
Superior security
Most SD-WAN solutions on the market only offer multi-link support and flexible routing. Hillstone SD-WAN adds superior security with the full feature set of a next-generation firewall, including IPS, antivirus, IP reputation, sandboxing, URL filtering and user control, giving customers maximum protection against information security threats.
