SD WAN has already come a long way in the few short years since it appeared on the market – and it’s not standing still. 2021 looks likely to see SD WAN become more deeply integrated with public cloud services as enterprises continue to pursue multi-cloud strategies, hungry for solutions that enable that without headaches. We will see makers of SD WAN solutions and providers of managed SD WAN services continue to work with the big public cloud platforms with the goal of ensuring that traffic destined for the cloud gets there faster, as well as working at improving management, performance, security and reducing the latency that is so harmful to cloud workloads.

Helping to modernise networks and bringing more flexibility to automation and provisioning, it’s an important area that shouldn’t be overlooked. […]

Initially launched as a form of optimising traffic across MPLS and IP-based connectivity, SD WAN has assumed a rapid pace of evolution. Its swift evolution is being driven not just by the growth of cloud and need for secure access at a fast-changing network edge, but by the continual change in enterprise network architectures. The result is SD WAN 2.0, or next-generation SD WAN. These offerings go well above and beyond the basic capabilities of the initial software overlay service, to meet the increasing demands of the enterprise market. […]

Powerful applications must simplify processes, not complicate them. […]

As we approach the end of a tumultuous year, it’s clear that working from home is here to stay. While opinions are divided over how many people will want to stay remote when offices are back open, it’s clear that the shape of networks today is very different to how we predicted them at the start of the year.

Now, as businesses look at how to connect their 2021 workforce, decisions need to be made about how to make this work for everyone in the long-run. Evaluating your needs, the tools required and the network that connects them all should be top of the priority list. [...]
