Go with SD-WAN if:
Hybrid WAN = Best of Both Worlds:
Many enterprises use MPLS + SD-WAN for critical data + cloud apps redundancy.
Client: Manufacturing firm with 50 sites across India
Before: MPLS + Broadband backup
After: Fortinet SD-WAN with dual ISPs, zero-touch provisioning, centralized NOC
Result:
Choosing between MPLS and SD-WAN depends on your goals. At VirtulinkGlobal Services, we design hybrid WANs that deliver performance, security, and cost efficiency.
