Evolution of cloud computing bolsters the global SD-WAN market growth

The factors driving the growth of the market include rise of cloud computing, need for cost-effective network management, simplified network architecture, and increasing need for network security and visibility. Globally, increase in migration of global enterprises from traditional WAN infrastructure to cloud-based solutions has been developing interest in software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN). Due to high maintenance cost and network complexity, these enterprises need affordable pricing, reliable security and ease of WAN management. Increased managed service offerings and rise in hybrid cloud connectivity are some of the trends observed in this market.

Globally, IT organizations need WAN optimization solutions to overcome challenges of network performance and lower the ongoing WAN cost. SD-WAN solution providers are continuously developing and upgrading their physical and virtual WAN optimization product portfolio, to provide industries with accelerated application performances.

Increasing adoption of various cloud services, such as on-premise private cloud, public cloud, hosted private cloud and SaaS, in enterprise IT has resulted in a hybrid IT architecture within the enterprise network infrastructure. Enterprises need to meet the demand for agile, cost-effective, reliable and high performing business, networks connecting the hybrid IT environment. Therefore, SD-WAN provides a mix of public internet and private circuits to provide organizations with more network uptime, cost reduction, secure connection from branch locations to applications in enterprise data center and dynamic multi-path optimization for enterprise grade performance and scalability.

Further, SD-WAN simplifies the network complexity by offering ease of installation and effective management of many branch offices. It enables zero-touch deployment, cloud-based centralized configuration through templates, and automatic monitoring of bandwidth and link performance. These SD-WAN services are simplifying the complex WAN architecture, streamlining the tasks of IT executives by leveraging them with the task of application management, instead of network management.

Intelligent pathway control through SD-WAN is an opportunity for the growth of the global market. IT industry is in demand for policy-based routing solutions to assign path to their traffic, based on source, destination or specific application. SD-WAN solutions offer intelligent path control by steering traffic, based on application.

SD-WAN solutions have immense growth opportunities with its dynamic path selection capabilities, which allow IT administrators to set up performance threshold for various types of traffic. This ensures that critical data and applications always use the best path, based on latency, jitter and loss, over the available VPN tunnel in the network.
