How to connect your offices to Cloudflare using SD-WAN

As companies transition back to office work, IT teams face new challenges in managing hybrid working models and maintaining network security. Software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) technology is being adopted by some organizations to address these issues. SD-WAN allows for the consolidation of management tasks and simplification of router configuration. Companies like Cloudflare are leveraging their global Anycast network as a new corporate backbone, enabling quick and easy connections between offices through SD-WAN. This approach provides performant and secure connectivity without the need for expensive dedicated lines or complex hardware setups. Additionally, using standard tunneling protocols allows for compatibility with various devices and routers, making it easier to manage and maintain network security across multiple platforms.
