Kaspersky introduced a vital update to its Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solution to address the increasing frequency of network outages that affected over half of geographically distributed businesses.
The new Link State Control technology ensures real-time, automated monitoring of network tunnel availability, allowing companies to detect and resolve connectivity issues instantly.
According to the latest Kaspersky report on geographically distributed companies, nearly 60% face network problems in their infrastructure every month. This leads to reputational and financial damages that can cost thousands of dollars per hour. Thus, companies must implement reliable solutions to proactively prevent any network interruptions.
Kaspersky SD-WAN is designed to build a fault-tolerant business infrastructure and protect geo-distributed networks. The solution allows organizations to use diverse communication channels, optimize cloud connections, enhance security, improve application performance, and accelerate the implementation of new services.
Link State Control to improve the tunnel availability monitoring mechanism
In any software-defined network, it is essential to continuously monitor the quality and availability of communication channels. This ensures that we can quickly switch to more stable connections when needed.
With the latest update, Kaspersky SD-WAN has significantly enhanced its tunnel availability monitoring mechanism through Link State Control technology, which eliminates the need for manual configuration. These checks are now performed automatically at the protocol level, measuring the quality of each tunnel separately. This new feature improves the stability and reliability of Kaspersky SD-WAN, taking network performance to a new level.
Other enhancements
The update introduced a new mechanism to restart the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) registration process, along with new management and usability tools for CPE firmware based on the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). The installer, Zero-Touch Provisioning user experience, and CPE deletion mechanism were also enhanced.
“We always strive to develop all-encompassing products and provide companies with comprehensive security for all their assets and processes,” said Maxim Kaminsky, Business Development Manager of Secure Access Service Edge at Kaspersky.
Corporations with branch offices, manufacturing enterprises with distributed locations, and companies with distant home offices or ATMs, can benefit from Kaspersky SD-WAN. For more information about this solution, visit Kaspersky’s official website.
