As software-defined wide area networks (SD-WANs) evolve from the early days of the startup market to the current mainstream, people continue to question this major technological change, and I think it's wrong. SD-WAN has the potential to change the way enterprise networks and services are delivered.

SD-WAN entered the room and gradually occupied a dominant position in the industry. As a CIO of a contemporary enterprise, not only an information officer, but also a wisdom officer and an insight officer, CIO should know where the inflection point of this industry is, see the blueprint of the industry, and seize the opportunity to keep pace with the times. Enterprise networks, which accompany employees every day, are quietly affecting the speed at which companies move: a slow enterprise network reduces productivity and causes business to lose. SD-WAN(Software-Defined Wide Area Network), the latest model of enterprise network management, enables enterprises to remain invincible in the market competition.

Evolution of enterprise services

Enterprise network traffic is exploding as businesses increase bandwidth to reduce service latency and avoid network failures. At the same time, many applications are now moving out of the enterprise and into third-party cloud computing and SaaS environments, and the traffic within the network has changed significantly and is inefficient. Adding direct Internet connections and broadband circuits provides the bandwidth needed, but it also requires purchasing, deploying, and managing internal equipment for different circuits and network functions, including routers, WAN optimization, and firewall capabilities.

That era spawned companies that helped build networks that connected enterprise WANs and enterprise local area network and provided critical connectivity and security features that led to rapid growth. Specialized WAN devices are needed to lock connections, speed up applications, and optimize the WAN overall. Businesses are encouraged to stuff their wiring cabinets with Ethernet switches, firewalls, application delivery controllers (ADCs) and routers. Service providers offer a limited range of products, including enterprise Ethernet services and leased line services such as MPLS.

Today, it's a different story. The Internet is as pervasive as ever, providing applications consumers want, business applications, and giant private networks connected to the sky, i.e., the cloud. WAN rules become less important, and enterprises need to be able to connect to these cloud applications more easily and securely through software.

But managing the hardware got messy. Why manage dozens of proprietary network boxes that offer limited functionality? Why is functionality hardware-defined and not software-defined?

Imagine thousands of enterprise IT and networking teams considering moving to the cloud, staring at complex wiring closets with specialized equipment and asking themselves: What would you do with all this legacy?

Why SD-WAN is important

Maybe SD-WAN is for enterprise networks, just as iPhone is for consumer phones. Just as the iPhone combines photography, music, and communications, the SD-WAN market will offer a broad portfolio of enterprise networking applications with simplified hardware models.

Eventually, the SD-WAN market will integrate most of the functionality of traditional WAN as software into industry-standard CPE. These features include:

Next generation firewall

Other security services such as *** Detection Systems (IDS) and Antivirus Software (AV)

WAN Optimization

Application Delivery Control

Routing and switching.

In the traditional WAN world, these functions are dominated by individual companies in each market. SD-WAN is exciting because it completely upends the model and provides opportunities for innovative new companies. This would certainly disrupt the competitive landscape and could cause serious damage to existing businesses.

It's a good chance. Futuriom estimates it's worth billions of dollars as discrete markets like firewalls, WAN optimization, ADCs, and routing and switching are incorporated into the new SD-WAN market.

This is also why startups in the SD-WAN market are diverse and unique, and these companies need to provide many services and capabilities, not just a simple WAN. The entire enterprise WAN market will not collapse overnight because SD-WAN appears, but individual companies will take a piece of it off at once.

As a new type of network technology company, Zero Escape SD-WAN has been committed to customized services for SME SD-WAN deployment, achieving efficient intelligent operation and maintenance through simple and rapid deployment and intelligent utilization of network resources, improving enterprise network security, reducing operation and maintenance costs, and building the ultimate enterprise interconnection experience.
