FEATURE: SD-WAN
WHAT’S PROPELLING
THE RAPID GROWTH OF
THE SD-WAN MARKET?
It has become clear that a fundamental mismatch exists today
between wide-area networks (WANs) and the applications
that run across them. The application landscape has changed
dramatically over recent years, with increased adoption of cloud
services (SaaS & IaaS), insatiable demands for bandwidth-
intensive applications, like video and real-time collaboration, and
the rising ubiquity of encrypted application protocols (HTTPS/
SSL/TLS), which challenge end-to-end visibility and control,
writes Paul O’Farrell, SVP & GM, Riverbed Technology.
