What is the difference between NGAF SDWAN and WANO?

SDWAN have virtualization connection and sofware driven technology

SDWAN is software defined WAN than tha WAN0 port

Below is the detailed difference of SDWAN and WANO:
For common WAN optimization, it borns in MPLS age, MPLS is very expensive and small bandwidth
Users need some methods to reduce MPLS costs and improve link throughput, then WAN optimization come,
WANO support de-duplication and compression to reduce traffic enhance link throughput.
Typical product: Riverbed Steelhead series. SilverPeak NX series With internet rapid growth, internet link become more and more stable and the price is cheap,
Users are doing digital transformation, they need more bandwidth and some service toward to cloud,
so MPLS only network is not suitable for business, users need to use hybrid WAN, MPLS for critical apps, Internet for cloud or other business, SD-WAN coming.
SD-WAN not only support hybrid WAN path selection, also have Zero touch deployment to simplify deployment and unified management and operation features.
Typical product: Riverbed Steelconnect series.  Silverpeak Edgeconnect

For Sangfor WANO integrates both optimization features and common SD-WAN features.
Sangfor WANO = Riverbed Steelhead + Riverbed Steelconnect.
In 2008, Sangfor WANO became a component of Sangfor SD-WAN. One product have WAN optimization solution and SD-WAN solution.

Sangfor NGAF is different product see details below:
It is a converged security solution providing protection against IPS, advanced threat, malware, viruses, ransomware and web-based attacks using integrated security features like FW, IPS, AV, Anti-malware, APT, URL filtering, Cloud Sandbox, and WAF.

Sangfor WANO is a powerful Wide Area Network (WAN) Optimization solution. WANO provides one-step connectivity and optimization and LAN speeds on your WAN.

WAN Optimization, as opposed to SD-WAN, increases the size of the pipe by reducing the number of bits that must pass over it (via compression, caching, etc.). As a result, they effectively collaborate to resolve identical problems using various ways.

Whereas WAN optimization improves the performance of an individual connection, SD-WAN improves the overall network. More specifically, SD-WAN addresses issues impairing MPLS networks

WAN optimization and SD-WAN are more like two mates that play on the same team than they are legend and successor. The two can work wonders alone or, possible even better, together, but it is not correct to think of an SD-WAN solution as a replacement for WAN optimization.

HiHi,

Both the traditional WANO and SD-WAN have a physical connection, but the SD-WAN will have a virtualized connection that is abstracted from the physical connection and sits above. This SD-WAN virtual connection can be moved easily from one device to another or altered quickly based on the needs of the business.
