Key Benefits of SD-WAN Solution Elevate Market Revenues to More than $300 MillionSANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Software-defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) technology is remodeling the way enterprises deploy hybrid networks. While Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) has long dominated the enterprise WAN space, the emergence of SD-WAN is questioning the status quo of MPLS-only WAN, or a static hybrid WAN consisting of MPLS and Internet links. In an SD-WAN deployment, the underlying transport network is abstracted, and a centralized controller uses intelligent, application-aware software to route traffic over the optimal network technology, based on business policies. With an increase of SD-WAN solution's adoption, market revenues exceeded $300 million in 2017. According to Frost & Sullivan, 7 percent of enterprise IT decision-makers stated they had deployed SD-WAN; and 23 percent of them stated they planned to deploy SD-WAN in the next 12 to 24 months. Frost & Sullivan's new white paper, Fast-track Your SD-WAN Journey by Partnering with a Managed Service Provider, highlights why enterprises are adopting SD-WAN, the benefits of a managed SD-WAN service over the do-it-yourself (DIY) approach, and how MetTel can help. "While the ability to software-define the WAN is a cutting-edge approach to WAN deployments, compared to the hardware-centric approach in the past, deploying and managing the underlying WAN infrastructure involves some heavy lifting from the enterprise IT departments," explains Roopa Honnachari, Business Communication Services & Cloud Computing Industry Director at Frost & Sullivan. "The process can be daunting when it involves multiple transport and access providers globally. That is where a managed SD-WAN service can help." The MetTel SD-WAN deployment offers key advantages for businesses:
