This RadarView helps enterprises identify key service providers that could assist them in implementing and managing software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) services. It begins with the key market trends and challenges in the managed SD-WAN services space. It is followed by a detailed assessment of 23 leading providers offering SD-WAN managed services.
Each profile provides an overview of the service provider, their key IP assets, and a list of clients and partnerships, along with brief client case studies. Each profile concludes with analyst insights on the provider’s practice maturity, partner ecosystem, and investments and innovation.
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.
The SD-WAN Managed Services 2022–2023 RadarView highlights key outsourcing trends in the SD-WAN outsourcing space and Avasant’s viewpoint on them. It also offers an analysis of each service provider’s capabilities in technology and delivery support, thus enabling organizations to identify the right strategic partners for their network transformation initiatives.
