Many organizations today are choosing to migrate to SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network), because it can eliminate the challenges of MPLS networks. SD-WAN brings software defined networking (SDN) to the WAN, improving WAN management and increasing cost savings when compared against MPLS.

A new class of network security products were created: the Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB). This was a natural architectural decision, however it deepened the fragmentation of enterprise network security controls. When we think about putting network security in the Cloud, we start with the firewall.

Weve been discussing the impact the dissolving perimeter has had on networking and IT. Rather than IT playing this kind of shell game on itself, IT should evaluate WAN architectures holistically and look at the quality of experience, availability, security, cost, agility, manageability, and extensibility of the network.

SD-WAN certainly provides companies with a lot of flexibility, and one aspect of that flexibility is how to manage the networking solution. One management model is the Do it yourself (DIY) approach, which has long been popular with enterprises that purchase and deploy the SD-WAN appliances themselves.
