SD WAN Oil & Gas Industry

SD WAN - Clever Network Solution for the Oil & Gas Industry

The energy sector is largely dependent on the availability of resources that are often found in remote areas. Technology is the main driving force behind the majority of the extraction processes and operations at such oil and gas plants. However, the evolving landscape of the energy sector often requires that this technology be upgraded or modified to ensure the best quality and productivity throughout all operations and functions. One of the biggest challenges faced by the oil and gas industries is maintaining the safety and efficiency of operations and data transfer across multiple remote locations. This requires an advanced IT and network solution that can not only improve the speed and connectivity but also provide better safety, at reasonable costs. That’s where SD-WAN or Software Defined-Wide Area Network comes into the picture. It decouples the control plane from the data plane and helps to improve connectivity, and management of data between different centers, remote units, and Cloud environments. SD-WAN is the perfect solution for many of the big challenges faced by the oil and gas industries.
