SD-WAN: Making The Business Case

Jan 21, 2017 | Posted by Snehal Patel | Networking-and-SDN | 0 comments |

Software-defined WAN is the future of networking, and many enterprises are showing an interest in the technology. IDC has predicted that the SD-WAN market will hit $6 billion by 2020. Rightfully so, because there are so many benefits to be gained through this new approach to wide-area networking.

If you are a network architect who manages a WAN with hundreds and thousands of endpoints, then at some point you will definitely consider SD-WAN. But the question is, “Where to start?” Refreshing the hardware from traditional WAN to SD-WAN is a huge undertaking. First, you have to find the right motivation for an SD-WAN deployment and convert this motivation into a business case. If all this sounds interesting then check out my blog that was published in Network Computing at http://www.networkcomputing.com/networking/sd-wan-making-business-case/1875328284
