2023 State of Network Edge Survey Shows MPLS and SD-WAN Fail to Meet the Needs of the Modern EnterpriseSAN JOSE, Calif., May 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Graphiant, a provider of next-generation edge services, today released the results of the 2023 State of Network Edge survey. Respondents say new use cases break existing edge technologies, such as MPLS and SD-WAN. "This happens every 10-11 years," says Khalid Raza, founder & CEO of Graphiant. "I saw this in 2000 while pioneering MPLS at Cisco. I saw it when I co-founded Viptela in 2012. And now it’s time again for a new approach to the network edge.” Respondents called out three critical uses cases:
"These new use cases are tough for MPLS and SD-WAN," says Robert Spangler, Senior Network Engineer at Ballad Health. "MPLS is too slow to deploy and change and far too expensive. And SD-WAN can't handle that number of tunnels." MPLS and SD-WAN are Failing The survey shows enterprises aren't happy with MPLS and SD-WAN for these new use cases. Network architects gave both technologies D's and F's for metrics such as scalability, agility, and cost. Enter Network Edge as-a-Service. Graphiant's new service provies the speed, scalability, security, and privacy of MPL but with the agility that modern as-a-Service delivers. But, are enterprises ready for Network-as-a-Service? The answer is a resounding yes, with seven of eight network architects likely to consider NaaS going forward. One in four say they are extremely likely.
