SD-WAN growth - Vendors and Operators

SD‐WAN uses software and cloud‐based technologies to simplify delivery of WAN services to branch offices. Software based virtualization enables network abstraction that results in simplification of network operations.

The costly branch network using MPLS cloud is replaced by Cloud based services which are connected to the branches using secure overlay networks. This reduces the cost of the high complexity branch deployments.
SD-WAN in a nutshell:
✓Virtualizes the network
✓Enables a secure overlay
✓Simplifies services delivery
✓Provides interoperability
✓Leverages cost effective hardware
✓Supports automation with business policy framework
✓Monitors usage and performance
✓Supports interoperable and open networking
✓Enables managed services

Branch networking can automate deployment over private networks, broadband internet and LTE.

According to the IHS Technology Data Center Network Equipment Quarterly Market Tracker report, there was a total of $38.5 million in SD-WAN revenue during the first quarter of 2017.

Viptela had a strong lead with $7.7 million in revenue, or 21 percent of the total market share; VeloCloud claimed $4.9 million in revenue, or 14 percent of the market; and Talari Networks brought in $3.8 million in revenue — 11 percent of the market share for the quarter, according to the report.

As network pros rely more and more on SD-WAN to streamline connections among enterprise sites, the market for this technology will balloon from $225 million in 2015 to $1.19 billion by the end of 2017, according to IDC.

Over the next five years, SD-WAN sales will grow at a 69% compound annual growth rate, hitting $8.05 billion in 2021, according to IDC’s Worldwide SD-WAN Forecast, 2017–2021.
