What is SDWAN?

I know a new technology that is being utilized is SDWAN to maximize network flow and use a secondary line.  How does SDWAN work?  What is the difference between SDWAN and MPLS?  Have any of you experts had experience with it and do what do you like about it?

What are your thoughts as what's best for optimizing traffic on a local network of 100 users using cloud applications
Michael Ortega

Where are these hosted applications? Azure, AWS, etc. or hosted on the providers' own network? SD-WAN employs a "bookshelf" like design which means you need implementation of the technology on both ends, e.g. on client end and resource end.

We would have a virtual server and cloud phone system
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

Ok, but if I assume that the virtual server that's hosting the IP PBX is not on infrastructure you manage, then your options might be a little limited. Can you share with us what cloud platform you're going to host the Virtual Server/IP PBX?

Also, what kind of internet connection do your 100 users sit behind? Is there any other interesting traffic load being put on that connection currently, other than just general web use, email, etc.?
