8/22/2023: VMware SD-WAN Client is now VMware SD-Access™! Click here to read the press release from VMware Explore Las Vegas 2023.
I work from home in a location that does not have access to wired internet connections such as fiber, cable, or DSL. But I do have a VMware SD-WAN Edge device. Its cloud-based, transport-independent architecture lets you use whatever connectivity you have—in my case, Starlink satellite and U.S. Cellular 5G connections. Watch this video as I explain how VMware SD-WAN™ uses Dynamic Multipath Optimization™ to help me work on shared apps, join video conferences and perform other bandwidth-intensive day-to-day work, while enjoying an optimal quality of experience. (If you don’t see the video here, click for the YouTube link.)
VMware SD-WAN can use any connection, like Starlink and 5G, to optimize your work-from-anywhere experience.
