The SD-Branch solution is aimed at aiding customers seeking to meet the demands of mobility, IoT and the cloud promises a potent combination of network availability and performance in a secure fashion.

The SD-Branch solution provides a single point for SD-WAN, assisting IT in its efforts to support the barrage of IoT, mobile needs, and cloud-based applications that power business. SD-Branch is capable of optimizing efficiency while cutting complexity.

Vera Wang CIO Stewart Ebrat noted, “As it continues to expand its global presence, high-end, luxury retailer Vera Wang is an organization that is facing this challenge as it scales its operations. “We need to get stores up and running quickly, and maximize our WAN availability and efficiency.”

Aruba SD-Branch touts an optimized branch experience due to a granular approach to QoS; integrated best-in-class security; as well as cost savings and simplicity at the enterprise scale.
