MPLS strengths
Predictable performance, carrier-managed QoS and private connectivity make MPLS a solid choice for latency-sensitive applications.
SD-WAN strengths
SD-WAN uses multiple links — broadband, MPLS, 4G/5G — with application-aware routing, central management and faster branch rollout.
How to decide
- Where do your applications live — data center or cloud?
- How many branches and how quickly do they change?
- What link options are available at each site?
- What are your security requirements?
Hybrid is common
Many enterprises keep MPLS for critical sites and add SD-WAN with broadband for agility and cost savings.
