WHAT:

As enterprises move applications to the cloud, they face an
increasingly complex Wide Area Network (WAN) environment.
Software-Defined WAN (aka SD-WAN) has emerged as a hot topic,
promising to render WANs easier to manage, make them more
adaptable and secure, while significantly lowering costs (See Hybrid
WAN Benefits). In this debate, experts will define SD-WAN and
explain how it will impact enterprises and service providers.

|

|
|
|
-- What is SD-WAN? What are its strengths and weaknesses?
|
|
|
|
|
-- Will it disrupt the existing WAN market? How? Who will it benefit
and why?
