What Drives Implementation?
What issues are businesses and their IT/network teams trying to address as they converse with partners about potentially purchasing SD-WAN? Well for starters, those priorities can significantly differ.
For example, improved security was the top priority on the WAN side but not found on the business side. Reducing cost was third in business priorities but sixth for WAN priorities.
For the WAN folks, establishing on-demand connectivity (something SD-WAN assists) scored second, followed by hybrid network architecture (which SD-WAN simplifies).
