These drivers, though, also come with baggage: the reassessment of todays corporate security model. Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. This requires a shift in our security models. We can no longer assume that the WAN is secure.

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. Cato has also built a full network security stack directly into its global network.

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.

It’s a change that makes perfect sense, because network flow records provide clear and concise insight into network traffic patterns. The trend in engineering and capacity planning applies as well to wide-area network (WAN) service assurance, where network flow data is also essential.

The patchwork of appliances and network services comprising our wide area networks (WAN) have been with us for so long its easy to overlook their impact on IT. Integration projects are needed to tie external security appliances into the SD-WAN or to stretch the SD-WAN overlay to cloud resources if it can be done at all.

Here is what the experts say… Andrew Lerner @fast_lerner Andrew is an analyst at Gartner specializing in emerging networking architecture technologies, and was an early predictor of the impact of SD-WAN. He states: One of the most obvious and pressing benefits of SD-WAN is improved network security.

The global MPLS approach to networking works well if: The users are in fixed locations such as branch offices, The only corporate applications are hosted in-house, and Business needs dont change very often. Corporate applications are increasingly in the cloud. Clearly, an alternative is needed, but its not the public Internet.

Business critical applications Important question to ask: where are your business critical applications located — in an in-house data center or in the cloud? As a result, networks need to adapt to the new requirements of the increased use of cloud applications. And here is where SD-WAN steps in.

The widespread adoption of Software-Defined Wide-Area-Network ( SD-WAN ) in recent years has caused many to wonder whether WAN optimization is still necessary. Bandwidth: Bandwidth limitations are addressed by minimizing the amount of data passed across the network. The technologies are similar.

While SD-WANs are a valuable first step towards evolving the wide area network , they only address a small part of the dissolved enterprise perimeter challenge. Networking, security, and mobility technologies are deployed and operated independently. Each service comes with its own cost structure and capabilities.

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. This typically works in scenarios where MPLS is not available or not affordable, or the vast majority of applications are not latency sensitive.

End users of these devices will experience throughput and responsiveness only previously available on fixed networks. Many enterprises are replacing their fixed MPLS wide area networks (WANs) with virtualized software-defined WANs (SD-WANs) to reduce costs. Security -- 5G will introduce new security concerns.

Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs) promised to address the high costs, rigidity and limitations of private MPLS services. SD-WANs reduce bandwidth costs, no doubt, but enterprises are still left having to address important issues around cloud, mobility, and security. SD-WANs automate these and other steps.
