What is SD-LAN?
A software-defined networking solution that puts you in control, giving you policy automation, network segmentation, enhanced security, and a single management experience across your site or campus.
SD-LAN gives you a clear view of all the devices, users and applications accessing your wired and wi-fi networks. And automation lets you push out instant updates to applications, set automatic rules to deploy policies, apply security patches, and segment your network into different user groups, all from a single management and command centre.
If SD-LAN puts you in the driving seat, BT keeps you on the road.

Read how BT supported an agile network that can cope with high demand at Bournemouth University in collaboration with Cisco.
