Why each option
A migration to Cisco SD-WAN from IP-VPN offers increased scalability for adding new sites and centralized application policies for consistent management.
Cisco SD-WAN typically employs a centralized control plane (vSmart controllers) for policy orchestration, not a distributed control plane in the traditional routing sense.
While SD-WAN generally offers enhanced security features, 'increased security' is a benefit rather than a direct architectural characteristic of the migration compared to the core architectural shifts of scalability and centralized control.
Cisco SD-WAN provides increased scalability compared to traditional IP-VPNs by enabling easier onboarding of new sites and flexible integration of diverse transport types through its overlay architecture.
Cisco SD-WAN centralizes the definition and enforcement of application-aware policies across the entire WAN from a single management plane, simplifying configuration and ensuring consistent service delivery.
Cisco SD-WAN aims to reduce operational complexity through centralized management, automation, and simplified workflows, despite potential initial deployment complexities.
