The rise and rise of SD-WAN in post Covid-19

So much has been up in the air in the wake of the onset of Covid-19 and the lockdowns and stay-at-home orders issued by various governments around the world. But there has been one thing that is pretty fixed: the rise and rise of software-defined wide area networks (SD-WANs).

The net result is that SD-WAN suppliers are currently seeing significant increases in orders and deployments of appliances in residential locations to connect and secure remote workers. Security application visibility and performance tuning are regarded as key areas for 2020 growth. Yet, there are signs that work still needs to be done. Research has highlighted the first signs of what could be stumbling blocks ahead. Download this EGuide to review the points of making your best SD-WAN selection.
