Community Challenge: SD-WAN, Explained

MerakiCommunity-CommunityChallenge

 

SD-WAN is a popular topic these days, but it can be difficult to explain to a layperson.

 

Your challenge this month is to describe SD-WAN in non-technical terms.

 

Imagine you had to explain the concept to a classroom of smart but non-technical high school students, or to an acquaintance at a cocktail party (clearly a raging party!). What's a real-world analogy you can use to describe what SD-WAN is and how it works?

 

We encourage you to use pictures or diagrams (or even video!?) to help your explanation come to life.

 

The winners will each receive a Meraki mini-fridge (picture below)!
