DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of Nemertes Research's new report "Service Defined WAN Key Trends" to their offering.
This research defines the technology space, explains the architecture, and identifies key features and selection criteria. Most important for IT decision-makers, it compares providers of the technology to help narrow a long list to a short list. And providers themselves can understand how they stack up to their competition. Finally, we wrap up with conclusions and recommendations.
Service Defined WAN (SDWAN) solutions focus on letting the WAN freely incorporate many modes of connectivity while presenting a simplified, abstracted view of that connectivity to the enterprise. A mix of virtual WANs determined by business needs can easily be overlaid on top of any mix of underlay media, ranging from dedicated fiber to MPLS to broadband Internet.
Network architects should be looking for a robust policy-control feature set, especially regarding creation of segregated virtual WANs and controlling the routing and prioritization of traffic flows across them; at the WAN topologies supported and whether they wish to replace edge routers or overlay them; at cost structuring; and at whether and how they want the WAN to integrate into a broader SDN or cloud-management initiative.
