How do I deploy Citrix SD-WAN?

Citrix offers a variety of ways to deploy Citrix SD-WAN to meet your unique needs

Take a do-it-yourself approach for your enterprise cloud strategy

If you are looking to manage your own SD-WAN infrastructure, we recommend the Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator for enterprises. This next-generation SD-WAN management platform is delivered as a cloud service. With this approach, you can begin your journey in moving your applications and workloads to the cloud. SD-WAN Orchestrator can be a starting point or an extension of other Citrix cloud services that you may want to add in the future – such as analytics, security, workspace services, and other supporting networking services.

As a single-pane management and analytics tool, Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator is architected from the ground up to manage a large-scale infrastructure with ease through an informative dashboard and intuitive graphical interfaces.

This management platform enables a seamless experience in SD-WAN management using built-in capabilities such as zero-touch deployment and granular WAN control. Existing Citrix SD-WAN customers will be pleased to know that this new platform runs primarily as-a-Service management overlay – meaning it does not require any configuration changes on the physical or virtual appliances at the branch sites and the cloud datacenters.
