Why SD-WAN Alone Is Not Enough

The last 10 years have been filled with massive shifts in the way applications and infrastructure are built, deployed, and managed. Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) claims to provide a solution for these shifts by allowing the user to define policies for how application traffic is forwarded. In order to recognize the full potential of SD-WAN, however, businesses need a solution that fundamentally understands application performance.

How do we take advantage of cloud computing and SaaS applications?
How do we realize a better user experience for our remote office users?
How can we reduce cost for our remote offices?

Five Requirements for SD-WAN

SD-WAN is a fundamentally transformational technology, so it comes as no surprise that myriad vendors are claiming to provide an SD-WAN solution, hoping to capitalize on the value proposition that SD-WAN provides, even if peddling an incomplete solution. Our goal in this manifesto is to describe in no uncertain terms what SD-WAN is and the capabilities a solution must include to be considered an SD-WAN solution.

Meet Growing Network Demands

Diamond Crystal Brands is an industry leader in right-size packaging, wet and dry-blended products, and custom printing. To meet growth demands, Diamond Crystal Brands needed a modern setup that provided a reliable network coverage to their offices in four states. Since they worked with a telco infrastructure partner, the IT team did not have visibility into the network as it grew. They also wanted to utilize more cloud-based applications for better security, compliance, agility and performance .

Learn how Diamond Crystal Brands met their growing network demands, including:

Unconstrained and highly reliable WAN
Deep application, network visibility
Systemwide analytics

Modernize Branch Office Infrastructure and Save $150K in First Year

Yancey Bros. —the nation’s oldest Caterpillar dealer supplier for construction, road building, mining, agriculture and other industries — had been using an SD-WAN solution bundled through their telco provider but knew that continuing to use a single provider of expensive MPLS connectivity was no longer a viable solution for their increasingly complex network. They wanted to work with multiple partners that could supply flexibility, reliability, backup redundancy and low-cost connectivity. They also needed better visibility into network data in order to adjust policies and route appropriately.
