That’s great @Amit_Navon I’m already working through the documentation, and I’m really looking forward to the webinar on the 29th to get all my questions answered about this new SD-WAN version. As I mentioned in @Almog ’s post, I believe this version of SD-WAN represents a major technical leap not just for the tool itself, but for the vendor as well.
