1 Evolving the WAN A new approach to WAN with all the benefits of MPLS, but none of the drawbacks
2 1. Introduction This paper outlines a new approach to Wide Area Networking (WAN). Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) over bonded connectivity delivers the benefits of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) while overcoming its limitations and disadvantages.
3 2. It s time to unshackle the WAN For years, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) has been a foundational enterprise WAN technology. Reliable, resilient connections and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are attractive to CTOs seeking to manage increasingly demanding user bases, as are 24/7 monitoring, and high standards of security and privacy. The success of MPLS has been driven in large part by the particular set of benefits it offers. Packet prioritisation, and with additional investment, Quality of Service (QoS) allow latency-sensitive traffic such as VoIP to be given more bandwidth than other data, ensuring a consistently good user experience. Reliable, resilient connections and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are attractive to CTOs seeking to manage increasingly demanding user bases, as are 24/7 monitoring, and high standards of security and privacy. There is another side to the MPLS coin, though. Costs are high, implementing new connections can take months, changing or redeploying resources is time-consuming and labour-intensive, and integrating internet and public cloud access is challenging. Additionally, users and enterprise boards are becoming more demanding, and the nature of IT is changing. The explosive growth of public cloud services in recent years, in both the consumer space and the enterprise space, means that users increasingly expect new services to be available within days or even hours, not weeks or months.
4 Meanwhile, the board is looking for a ever better returns on increasingly tightly controlled investment, and with users flexing their IT decision-making muscles via the app stores, CTOs must find ways of retaining and solidifying the IT department s influence, by delivering new value to the enterprise. The rise of the cloud By 2017, 35% of new applications will be cloud enabled. By 2018, over 60% of enterprise IT infrastructure will be in the cloud. Integrating cloud access with a traditional MPLS-based WAN is challenging and expensive. Cloud services are here to stay, though, and enterprises can secure significant competitive edge by making effective use of them. Users are familiar with cloud apps and services, and increasingly expect to be able to use the same tools at work that they use on their own devices. Changing expectations The enormous success of the app store approach to application and service delivery in the consumer sector has dramatically changed expectations among consumers, and therefore enterprise employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders, all of whom are also consumers. While a decade ago weeks or months were the acceptable norm for the provision of new or amended services, today s expectations are significantly more challenging.
5 The need to cut costs Pressure from the board on IT to cut costs and do more with less is relentless. While WAN connectivity has always been a major component in the enterprise IT budget, with private circuits the only realistic connectivity option, there has been little that could be done to reduce outgoings in this area. Now, however, significant, on-going cost savings can now be made, while maintaining and even improving the quality, performance, reliability and resilience of IT services. The need for flexibility MPLS services typically come not only with a substantial price tag, but also with lengthy contractual commitments. As enterprises seek to be more nimble, reacting more quickly to changing market conditions, moving more swiftly to capitalise on opportunities as they arise, and addressing customer concerns and needs more promptly, such rigid, long-term commitments are increasingly unhelpful. Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) over bonded connectivity now offers the benefits of MPLS at a fraction of the cost and with none of the disadvantages. The need for more bandwidth Compounding general WAN traffic growth, VoIP and video are both adding significant additional traffic as their popularity, among users and consumers alike, mushrooms. Video and audio are driving the need not only for substantial additional bandwidth but for high quality connections, to avoid lag and choppiness. With MPLS high cost and long commitment, investing for future bandwidth needs is becoming punitively expensive. Taking these diverse factors into account, MPLS is looking expensive, inflexible, and restrictive. For many enterprises, the key reason to stay with MPLS been that there is no viable alternative. That is no longer the case. Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) over bonded connectivity now offers the benefits of MPLS at a fraction of the cost and with none of the disadvantages. It s time to unshackle your WAN. This paper explains how.
6 3. SD-WAN over bonded connectivity: How it works SD-WAN over bonded connectivity brings together two technology areas bonded connectivity and Software Defined Networking (SDN) to deliver a new killer app for the enterprise WAN. While running SD-WAN over traditional connectivity delivers some benefits, significantly more can be achieved by using bonded connectivity. Here s how SD-WAN over bonded connectivity works. ADSL FTTC ETHERNET 4G ADSL FTTC ETHERNET 4G ADSL FTTC ETHERNET 4G ADSL FTTC ETHERNET 4G Evolving Networks SDN technology intelligently routes WAN traffic between sites, and where required, to and from the internet and public cloud, over diverse platforms and networks (BT, Vodafone, Virgin, TalkTalk Business and Zen) for resilience. At each site, WAN traffic is carried by resilient, bespoke, bonded connections. These use a mix, suitable for bandwidth needs and the traffic types at hand, of the connectivity types available at the site. Evolving Networks SDN technology intelligently routes WAN traffic between sites, and where required, to and from the internet and public cloud, over diverse platforms and networks (BT, Vodafone, Virgin, TalkTalk Business and Zen) for resilience. Bespoke QoS profiles ensure that latency-sensitive data such as VoIP and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is routed over low latency, resilient links. Bandwidth Amplification technology compresses data on the fly, delivering effective higher throughput than should be possible with the actual bandwidth at hand, speeding uploads and downloads, page renders and application performance. 24/7 monitoring via eview Live analytics ensures that all connectivity is and remains highly optimised, low latency and exceptionally stable.
7 4. SD-WAN over bonded connectivity: A typical roll-out Working quickly, responsively and with exceptional attention to detail, this is how Evolving Networks undertakes a typical implementation. 1) We work closely with you to undertake a comprehensive review of your requirements (in particular bandwidth and traffic/data types) and the connectivity available (ADSL, FTTC, EFM, 4G and Ethernet) at each site. 2) At each site, we create a resilient, bespoke, bonded connection using a mix of available connectivity types appropriate to your needs. 3) All traffic is intelligently routed between sites via the diverse, multiplatform Evolving Networks SDN infrastructure. 4) We create a bespoke QoS profile to intelligently and dynamically route critical data such as VoIP and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) over low latency, resilient links, ensuring high quality connections free from lag or drop-outs. 5) Where required, we deliver internet and cloud access either from Evolving Networks core network or at the enterprise s head office. Evolving Networks close links with key cloud players such as Amazon and Microsoft afford the enterprise superior access to cloud-based services. 6) We implement Bandwidth Amplification, boosting network performance. 7) We implement eview Live analytics 24/7 intelligent network monitoring, ensuring performance remains optimal and providing invaluable real-time performance information.
8 5. SD-WAN over bonded connectivity: The benefits SD-WAN over bonded connectivity from Evolving Networks offers diverse benefits to the enterprise. Deployment is disruption-free and usually completed in days, rather than the months required for MPLS installations. A single-site installation may be put in place, allowing IT to test the solution over a period of time before rolling it out more widely. Since the solution runs on diverse underlying connectivity types, it can be used in almost any location. The solution delivers exceptionally stable low latency connectivity, rivalling that of MPLS. Improved connection stability and throughput drives a dramatically enhanced user experience, boosting productivity and cutting helpdesk call volumes. While QoS on MPLS requires additional investment of effort and budget to implement and manage, and is unidirectional in operation, SD-WAN over bonded connectivity from Evolving Networks includes built-in, transparent, bidirectional QoS as standard. Relying on bonded connectivity, the solution delivers the performance and stability MPLS, but also offers dramatically enhanced scalability, flexibility and adaptability, enabling IT and the enterprise to react to opportunities, threats and changing conditions much more nimbly. Cloud and internet integration are quick, easy and straightforward. SD-WAN and the underlying connectivity services are provided together, as a single service offering, giving the enterprise one point of contact for all enquiries, and no need to liaise with separate carriers and WAN providers. The solution offers substantial, permanent cost reductions as compared with MPLS. Gartner (2015) estimated example three-year costs for a 250-branch traditional WAN at $1,2850,000, and for SD- WAN at $452,000 a 65% saving.
