VPN Orchestration: MikroTik SD-WAN
vs. Manual Configuration
Optimizing Connectivity Management in Distributed Networks
VPN Management in Distributed Networks 🌐
In modern network environments, secure connectivity between branches is crucial. The choice between configuring VPNs manually or using SD-WAN orchestration directly impacts the efficiency, security, and scalability of your infrastructure.
Manual VPN Configuration: Challenges and Disadvantages ❌
The traditional approach of manual VPN configuration, while functional for small networks, presents serious challenges in distributed and growing environments.
Complex and Time-Consuming Process: Each VPN requires individual configuration on multiple devices, consuming valuable time and resources.
Prone to Human Errors: Manual configuration increases the likelihood of errors, leading to connectivity failures and security vulnerabilities.
Difficulty in Scaling: Adding new branches or connections becomes a bottleneck, limiting network growth.
Costly Maintenance and Troubleshooting: Identifying and fixing problems in manually configured VPNs is a laborious and expensive process.
