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?

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 digital transformation. At the time this made sense, as SD-WAN brought important advantages: Optimized bandwidth costs, by leveraging inexpensive services like Internet broadband whenever possible.

For global companies still operating with a legacy WAN architecture, WAN modernization is mandatory today for a variety of reasons. For example, digital transformation is based on business speed, and the lack of network agility can hold an organization back. SD-WAN is a very broad category.

WANs are slow. In most enterprises, the WAN changes more slowly than just about any other part of the infrastructure. People like to set up routers and such and then touch them as infrequently as possibleand that goes both for enterprises and for their WAN service providers as well.

Organizations around the world are beginning to go through digital transformation projects. They are moving their datacenters to the cloud, using more and more SaaS products, and moving their networking ( SD-WAN ) and security ( FWaaS ) to cloud-based solutions. WAN transformation is one such example.

But what are network operators to do when their cloud networks have to be distributed, both architecturally and geographically? As a cloud network scales, three forces compete against the acceptable accumulation of this gravity: cost, performance, and reliability. Data mass, data gravity, and escape velocity are all directly related.
