The cloud on-ramp you've been waiting for

Finally! The time you’ve been waiting for has arrived. All internal objections and hesitations from management have been overcome. You’ve presented the business case—and succeeded.

Congratulations! You are ready to begin leveraging SaaS applications and possibly deploying some of your own workloads into the cloud.

But before you take the next step, you ask yourself: “Do I have a secure, application-aware solution that makes it easy to connect branches to the cloud while also meeting performance and cost expectations? Will my existing WAN infrastructure be the best way to connect my datacenter and branches to deliver my cloud-based services and resources?”

Traditional architectures and MPLS connections are not suited for today’s Internet-bound traffic, like that coming from SaaS applications. Aging equipment and WAN designs typically backhaul your network traffic through centralized datacenters which slows it down, are cumbersome, slow to implement, inflexible, and expensive.

Fortunately, Citrix and Microsoft have teamed up to make it easy to migrate to the cloud with their new joint solution, Citrix SD-WAN for Microsoft Virtual WAN. Designed to speed and automate network deployments of any size, Citrix SD-WAN for Microsoft VWAN removes the complexities of connecting your branch offices and datacenters to Azure.

But it’s the benefits that really stand out. With this new joint solution, you can:

• Reduce the time it takes to connect branches to Azure from hours to just 15 minutes per site—because almost everything in the process is now automated
• Simplify large-scale network expansions by using template-based cloning for multiple locations
• Prioritize and optimize the delivery of latency-sensitive apps (like software for videoconferencing or online meetings) over less-critical application traffic
