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. SD-WAN eliminates the trombone effect where traffic is backhauled through the corporate data center for security inspection. The technologies are similar.

Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. Networking teams focussed on the connectivity between locations; security teams focussed on protecting against malware threats and other external or application-layer security issues.

Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) is making organizations rethink their WAN infrastructure. At customer premise-based data centers, traditional Internet connectivity might offer a 2x 4x price/bit benefit over MPLS, while at colocation facilities, the price/bit benefits are typically in the 10x 50x range.
