This week, we learned the SD-WAN market is forecasted to reach $3.3 Facebook uses Open/R to support its wide-area networks, data center fabric and wireless mesh topologies. Here are those headlines and more: Cisco, VMware in SD-WAN market ‘two-horse race’ (SDxCentral). Also in on the SD-WAN hype is AT&T.

As just one example, many organizations are now running SD-WAN technologies which require the monitoring and management of new solutions. While these SD-WAN products come with tooling, their visibility and management capabilities are lacking. Cloud Adoption and Network Visibility Gaps.

Get crystal clear on your WAN challenges: Do any of these challenges sound familiar? Youve been told to cut costs Its no secret that MPLS circuits cost a fortune often 3-4x the price of MPLS alternatives (like SD-WAN,) for only a fraction of the bandwidth. Youve decided to look for MPLS alternatives: Do all roads lead to SD-WAN?

Ensuring application and network performance looms as a critical concern in environments where a new generation of IT software and computing infrastructure spans multiple geographically distributed data centers and a mix of public and private networks, including SD-WAN overlays. But in whose network?

This could mean the users are saturating the internet connectivity or that they’ve saturated the LAN (or maybe WAN). This data is useful for Kentik’s automated capacity planning workflows and building topological maps (layer 2 and layer 3 connectivity). This keeps employees safe at home.

Network reliability engineers (NREs) The scale, transient nature of resources and topology, and extensive network boundaries make delivering on network reliability a complex and specialized task. Additionally, monitoring becomes critical for network optimizations by identifying areas where resources are under or overutilized.

SD-WAN will not do these things for you. Best Effort Isnt Always the Best Way I have talked with numerous enterprises that replaced MPLS circuits with SD-WAN. But when performance problems arise, the customers dont know who to call because the WAN is using the best effort Internet to move traffic.

The motivation for this KIP was to allow consumers to reduce expensive cross-WAN traffic in a multi-datacenter environment. datacenter topology. This helps cut down on expensive inter-datacenter WAN traffic from consumers and in turn reduces latency between the clients and the observer replicas. Want to learn more?
