Service insertion refers to the adding of networking services, such as firewalls or load balancers, into the forwarding path of traffic. SD-WANs bring SDN principles of service insertion to the wide area network. Its impossible to apply the service based on individual applications.

No longer an emerging technology, cloud computing is now used in everything from applications, storage, and networking. With vendors like Amazon AWS and applications like Office 365, the cloud computing market is projected to reach $411B by 2020. Cloud computing has been an integral part of the modern enterprise for some time.

The East-West WAN traffic visibility gap : SASE converges two separate disciplines: the Wide Area Network and Network Security. Therefore, legacy technologies like network firewalls are still needed to close the visibility and enforcement gap for that traffic. The answer is: a cloud network.

Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. Networking teams focussed on the connectivity between locations; security teams focussed on protecting against malware threats and other external or application-layer security issues.

IT organizations are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN). According to a July 2017 report from market-research firm IDC , SD-WAN adoption is seeing remarkable growth as companies look to streamline their WAN infrastructure and move toward more cloud-based applications.

Security policies for MPLS based networks need to be managed at each site and the various appliances must be continuously updated and upgraded. Many organizations today are choosing to migrate to SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network), because it can eliminate the challenges of MPLS networks.

MPLS cost reduction is the target of the emerging SD-WAN market that is bustling with solutions looking to take the corporate wide area network to a whole new level. A very common alternative architecture is to use firewalls to establish Internet-based VPN tunnels between enterprise locations.

Typically, they have the in-house expertise to manage their existing wide area network and feel comfortable adapting to the new technologies of the SD-WAN. For example, the missing components that a service provider can provide, such as security services and an SLA-backed network backbone, are significant gaps in the solution.

With MPLS revenue streams at risk, the carriers are pursuing a two-prong strategy: augmenting MPLS with Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) and adding value-add services to the core network with Network Function Virtualization (NFV). SD-WAN offers a good way for carriers to augment their MPLS services.
