SD-WAN is increasingly being perceived as a next-generation of networking technology to support enterprise digital transformation and cloud-first strategies. SD-WAN uses software-defined networking techniques in managing and controlling multiple WAN connections, such as broadband internet, wireless, MPLS, 4G, 5G, LTE, and others. It provides separation of network data and control planes and includes a centralized application-aware controller to manage network traffic flows, packet priority, routing policy, and network policy. SD-WAN solution helps to create a network overlay to decouple network software-defined services from the enterprise’s underlying hardware systems. SD-WAN’s software-centric approach helps in simplifying branch office networking, improves branch agility, optimizes application performance, and provides a significant reduction in capital and operational expenditure.
The SD-WAN market is in the rapid growth stage of the overall product lifecycle. SD-WAN vendors continued efforts in improving the awareness, and overall value proposition in terms of enhanced integration with best-of-breed security and networking products, orchestration and automation of network processes, improved zero-touch deployment, advanced analytics and application visibility, and improvements in machine learning & artificial intelligence capabilities to drive next-generation of SD-WAN solution is contributing to the market growth. The SD-WAN vendors are also looking at providing enhanced support for full-fledged IoT infrastructure and mobility by supporting future wireless technologies, 5G, and Gigabit
