Heavy Networking 448: An Inside Look At What’s New In Juniper’s Contrail SD-WAN (Sponsored)

In today’s sponsored Heavy Networking episode, Juniper Networks’ Contrail SD-WAN is on the agenda.
We get a detailed look at how Contrail SD-WAN operates, examine key security features and capabilities, and explore new options including Contrail SD-WAN as a cloud service managed by Juniper.
We also examine Juniper’s competing differentiators, including scale, a focus on app Quality of Experience (QoE), the ability to customize the solution, and how Contrail SD-WAN can extend into the branch LAN and Wi-Fi networks for management and security.
