What does zero-touch provisioning in SD-WAN simplify?

Zero-touch provisioning in SD-WAN simplifies manual configurations by enabling devices to be automatically configured and provisioned upon installation. This means that when a new device is connected to the network, it can automatically download the necessary configurations from a central management system without requiring manual input from network administrators.

This automation reduces the time and effort involved in setting up network devices, minimizes human error, and accelerates deployment. By eliminating the need for manual configurations, organizations can rapidly scale their network infrastructure and respond quickly to changing business needs without getting bogged down by complex setup processes.

In contrast, while aspects such as security measures, device centralization, and network scalability are important components of SD-WAN, zero-touch provisioning specifically targets the reduction of manual configuration requirements, streamlining the overall deployment and management of network devices.
