Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs) promised to address the high costs, rigidity and limitations of private MPLS services. The Problem of MPLS Bandwidth costs remain the most obvious problem facing MPLS services. Less pronounced, but perhaps equally important, is the rigidity of MPLS services.

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.

Here is what the experts say… Andrew Lerner @fast_lerner Andrew is an analyst at Gartner specializing in emerging networking architecture technologies, and was an early predictor of the impact of SD-WAN. Replacing MPLS/VPN circuits with IPsec-over-Internet (or something similar) can drastically reduce your WAN costs.

Over the past two decades, carriers have built massive global networking platforms that are faithfully serving many enterprises. MPLS-based services are under pressure from emerging Internet-based solutions. This strategy is attempting to patch the carrier MPLS cash cow and slow its decline. At a premium cost.

SD-WAN uses a software-based control plane to drive on-premise edge devices to dynamically allocate Wide Area Network (WAN) traffic between MPLS and Internet links. What if we could build an SDN security layer directly into the network? SD-WAN is effective because it is self-contained (i.e.

Companies needing to connect their users to the services in the cloud, who have been using a wide-area network (WAN) with MPLS for security, are seeing the benefits of using a software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) for connectivity.

According to Gartner that coined the term, SASE is the future of network security. SD-WAN Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is a virtual WAN architecture offering optimized traffic routing over multiple different media (broadband, MPLS, 5G/LTE, etc.). SD-WAN and SASE solutions offer PbR functionality.
