Infovista Enhances SD-WAN with Application Intelligence and Cloud-Native Orchestration

Infovista, a leader in modern network performance, announced new cloud-native management and control with next-generation Application Intelligence+ for Ipanema SD-WAN, delivering improved application performance across any WAN.

The enterprise network has become the central nervous system of modern digital businesses, and SD-WAN is enabling this digital transformation. Infovista’s Ipanema SD-WAN with new cloud-native management and control of applications tightly combines session-based routing and dynamic path selection of the underlay network with an overlay of deep application visibility and dynamic control of the quality of experience for business-critical applications.

Ipanema automatically understands application delivery requirements and maintains application quality of experience by using machine learning techniques. It distinguishes between the applications and their flows at the user session-level, and dynamically associates and enforces business policies.

“Rather than taking the approach of early SD-WAN solutions that align WAN performance with availability, Ipanema SD-WAN is laser focused on delivering and maintaining application quality,” said José Duarte, CEO of Infovista. “This is a fundamental shift from network routing and WAN optimization, to one of application and user experience. IT decision makers can now focus on their applications and take advantage of business intent policies to enforce consistent application performance and reliability.”

Highlights of Ipanema SD-WAN capabilities include: 

• Application quality score (AQS)
• Cloud orchestrator
• User QoE dashboard
• Dynamic cloud application database
• Deployment flexibility
• Multi-layered routing and security

The Ipanema SD-WAN solution is also available with multi-tenant management, allowing the solution to be offered by managed service providers in a range of channel configurations.
