What are the steps to plan a SDWAN deployment project?

The implementation of SDWAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) can differ depending on factors such as network size, security posture, and workforce requirements. To plan a successful SDWAN deployment project, several steps must be taken. Initially, businesses must have a thorough understanding of their current infrastructure, including their assets and network capabilities. Next, they must define the reasons and objectives behind implementing SDWAN. Then, they should select a deployment model and vendor that suits their requirements. Following that, they must perform a comprehensive network evaluation and analyze the feasibility of integrating SDWAN into their infrastructure. Finally, to ensure a seamless transition, it is recommended to pilot the network upgrades with a small user group before firm rollout.
