Many organizations are in the midst of rapid digitaltransformation. New Solutions Have New Network Requirements As digitaltransformation initiatives change how companies do business, corporate networks and IT architectures need to adapt to effectively and securely support the evolving business.
T he report, Telcos and the Future of the WAN in 2019 focuses on those 432 who purchase telco services for organizations with MPLS backbones. Repeatedly we heard that SD-WAN continues to serve as the basis of their digitaltransformation efforts. SD-WAN alone says nothing about defending the company edge.
Luckily, SD-WAN can be configured to prioritize business-critical traffic and real-time services like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and then effectively steer it over the most efficient route. Performance MPLS was the top dog in enterprise WAN before cloud-computing and mobile smart devices exploded in popularity.
Since its premier over a decade ago, SD-WAN was adopted by enterprises as the go-to-technology for preparing their network for the digitaltransformation. At the time this made sense, as SD-WAN brought important advantages: Optimized bandwidth costs, by leveraging inexpensive services like Internet broadband whenever possible.
Happy To Announce the Birth of a New Technology – SD-WAN It wasnt that long ago that we oohed and ahhed over the brand-new technology called SD-WAN. But just as were getting used to the toddling SD-WAN, along came yet another even more exciting newborn, the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). Thats so yesteryear or is it?
SD-WAN offers a way forward that significantly improves last-mile uptime without appreciably increasing costs. This improved last mile bandwidth and redundancy but didn’t create any benefits for the middle mile bandwidth. SD-WAN aggregates last-mile services, representing them as a single pipe to the application.
For global companies still operating with a legacy WAN architecture, WAN modernization is mandatory today for a variety of reasons. For example, digitaltransformation is based on business speed, and the lack of network agility can hold an organization back. SD-WAN is a very broad category.
Regardless, the WAN became complex, costly and the epitome of lack of agility. 2000s 2010s: Moving to Software-Defined WAN Next came the attempt to fill the gaps created by the limitations of MPLS and the public Internet with SD-WAN. SASE enables IT to provide a holistic, agile and adaptable service to the digital business.
To support these efforts, IT teams need to be prepared for digital change – by making a strategic leap towards a network and security architecture that enables rapid and agile digitaltransformation. Rising MPLS Bandwidth Costs MPLS is expensive and eats up a large portion of IT spend.
The Need for Speed The rapidly evolving technology and digitaltransformation landscape has ushered in increased requirements for high-speed connectivity to accommodate high-bandwidth application and service demands.
Moreover, traditional VPNs can introduce latency and bandwidth constraints, impacting application performance and user experience: Complexity : VPNs can be complex to manage, especially for large organizations with multiple locations and diverse user populations.
As digitization continues to advance, these leaders continue to face an array of challenges, and the solutions they choose will determine their success or failure. Many organizations neglect to consider bandwidth and capacity requirements of cloud applications. This means the potential costs of cyber breaches will follow suit.
