Navigating Network Transformation with the Convergence of SD-WAN and Security
The adoption of managed SD-WAN services has steadily increased in the past couple of years across geographies and industries, driven by a rise in remote work. SD-WAN managed services outsourcing grew by about 40% from 2021 to 2022. Additionally, the enterprise need for network security, effective application, and user and policy optimization is driving joint SD-WAN and SASE implementations. However, businesses still face challenges, such as migration from existing legacy networks, vendor management, and lack of skilled resources, while implementing SD-WAN. These trends, and others, are covered in Avasant’s SD-WAN Managed Services 2022–2023 RadarView™.

Enabling Business Agility and Digital Transformation at Speed with SD-WAN
With the increased use of cloud and digital services, the traditional wide area network (WAN) can no longer satisfy enterprise network requirements, such as on-demand scaling, centralized traffic management, immediate network visibility, and enhanced security. As a result, organizations are increasingly turning to software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) services to replace or support their existing network infrastructure. In this scenario, service providers play a pivotal role in helping companies implement and manage their SD-WAN services to transform their network infrastructure and drive the overall digital transformation agenda. These trends, and others, are covered in our SD-WAN Managed Services 2021-2022 RadarView™.
