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. More specifically, t he rise of WAN optimization began around 2004 and addressed the limitations of the limited capacity of costly MPLS and leased line connections.

Weve long touted the benefits of a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) so its encouraging to see that enterprises are increasingly recognizing its value. IDC recently surveyed mid-market enterprises and found they are rapidly embracing SD-WAN infrastructure and services.

While there are many considerations when choosing an SD-WAN, real-time traffic presents its own set of challenges. Lets take a look at the considerations you need to think about when selecting an SD-WAN architecture for voice, video, and other forms of real-time traffic. Voice will be garbled; calls will drop; video will be distorted.

Similarly, slow networks can lead to painfully slow file transfers for large media files or CAD (computer-aided design). For the modern WAN, just throwing money at the problem and buying more capacity or more expensive network gear isnt always the right answer.

[link] Limited Connectivity Capabilities Most off-the-shelf vCPE/uCPE hardware features Ethernet ports to connect to the WAN, but little more. Ideally, customer premises hardware should be able to serve all locations, regardless of available access media, without requiring additional box appliances to be deployed.
