Limitations in Current Design
Insufficient
BW

Operationally Fragmented
difficult security
There are a number of limitations
that have arisen in traditional WAN
Traditional – some have been with us for a long
time, some are more recent. These
WAN limitations are a large part of what
drove SD-WAN Architecture.
Not cloud High cost
ready BW

Limited app
awareness
Forces Internal and External

More Users More Apps More Threats More Demands


We are seeing the work Applications dominate We are seeing more Because of all of
force expand, but in the business landscape, advanced attacks, and these shifts in the
new and innovative and the ability to with the expansion of speed of business,
ways: expanding support them and the branch, diversity of the demands and
branch offices, allow for an optimal the applications, expectations have

Welcome to the digital revolution! Make yourself at home, it might be a while!


Key Factors to Align To
•Web and cloud app (O365 etc.) is new norm
User •Delays in bring up circuits/deploying sites
Experience

•Box-by-box management
Operational •Expensive bandwidth in MPLS
Costs

•SaaS drives “Internet everywhere”


Security •Increasing count of non-traditional devices
Challenges
Is SD-WAN Real?
By the end of 2019, 30% of
enterprises will have deployed

How SD-WAN Addresses These
Areas
Improve Application Reduce Complexity
Performance • Simplify deployment
with no/low touch
• Provide better application
• One portal to

• Simplify QoS/QoE

More Bandwidth for Security Where You


Lower Cost Need It
• Whether this is hybrid WAN • Local Branch Security
or all Internet • Service Chaining
• Provide users and apps with • Enable SaaS access in a

SD-WAN Definitions
What is SD-WAN:
SD-WAN is the approach to building and
designing a WAN utilizing SDN techniques to Orchestration Plane
optimize and automate, as well as protect,
traffic between diverse locations. Management Plane
How SD-WAN does it:
Using a cloud based controller, you create an Control Plane
overlay network for building the encrypted
tunnels, define your applications, how to treat
them, where your sites are, etc. This Data Plane
portal/controller because the critical lynchpin as
you now manage and operate the WAN from
there.
