Executing a successful WAN transformation strategy requires a business-first SD-WAN
edge platform that serves as a foundation to maximize the multiplier effect across

1. Retire Legacy Infrastructure 4. Automate Everything
2. Run on any Transport 5. Advanced Security
3. Require No SLA tradeoffs 6. Freedom of Choice
