Enterprise networking experts often disagree on many things. Dont take our word for it, heres what 9 leading industry experts have to say on the benefits of SD-WAN for enterprise networking: Is SD-WAN the future of networking?

Network flow data is quickly emerging as an essential source of data for analyzing network performance, optimizing infrastructure, and detecting malicious traffic. This wasn’t the case just a couple of years ago when EMA issued its Network Management Megatrends 2014 report. Advanced network analytics.

And perhaps nowhere in his statement holds more true than in the world of network technologies. Understanding Your Companys Needs In the complex world of network technologies, how can you maximize the value of your buy? As a result, networks need to adapt to the new requirements of the increased use of cloud applications.

You probably know what WAN stands for, but what about all of the other acronyms and abbreviations in the networking world? SASE SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) converges network and security functionalities into a single cloud-based solution. Traffic can enter and exit these networks via a PoP.

I read with some surprise the interview with Zscalers CEO, Jay Chaudry, in CRN where he stated that the network firewalls will go the way of the mainframe, that the network is just plumbing and that Zscaler proxy overlay architecture will replace it with its application switchboard. This is my take. Jay has always been a visionary.

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.

MPLS cost reduction is the target of the emerging SD-WAN market that is bustling with solutions looking to take the corporate wide area network to a whole new level. MPLS isnt encrypted by default: MPLS relies on the carrier private network for security because the data doesnt flow on the public Internet.

These drivers, though, also come with baggage: the reassessment of todays corporate security model. Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. This requires a shift in our security models. We can no longer assume that the WAN is secure.

The MPLS Story Global MPLS networks allow for different in-country providers of MPLS services to connect as one network. Service level agreements are a key part of global MPLS networks. The fact is, global MPLS services arent implemented in a way that accommodates the new realities of wide area networking needs.

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. Bandwidth: Bandwidth limitations are addressed by minimizing the amount of data passed across the network. The technologies are similar.

SD-WAN certainly provides companies with a lot of flexibility, and one aspect of that flexibility is how to manage the networking solution. Typically, they have the in-house expertise to manage their existing wide area network and feel comfortable adapting to the new technologies of the SD-WAN.
