Today s WAN is challenged to keep up Complex Operations Insufficient Bandwidth High Cost Challenges of Today s WAN Limited Application Awareness Limited Scale Fragmented Security 3
One answer to the Problem of Today Increase Bandwidth Security end to end Reduce Circuit Cost Simplify Management SD-WAN Deploy Hybrid By the end of 2019, 30% of enterprises will have deployed SD- WAN technology in their branches, up from less than 1% today Source: Gartner Predicts 2016: Enterprise Networks and Network Services, Dec 2015 Increase Scale Improve Application Experience 4
What is SD-WAN: The Basics The What: Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) is the approach to architect the WAN utilizing Software Defined Networking (SDN) to optimize and control traffic between locations. The How: Controllers create an encrypted overlay tunnel architecture on top of the existing WAN transport infrastructure. Analytics, Monitoring and Operations Application Policies Robust Forwarding Infrastructure Transport Independent Fabric 5
That s great, let s look at this a little more deeply now 6
Deployment Examples Centralized Monitoring and Operations Controller Management Independent Transport METRO-E BUSINESS INTERNET LTE Distributed Forwarding DATA CENTER CAMPUS BRANCHES REMOTE SITES Cloud 7
Little more detail into what it gives you Operational Simplicity Hybrid Wan Application and Cloud Awareness Secure and Routed Infrastructure Zero Touch Provisioning Carrier agnostic Application based traffic steering Centralized Control and Distributed forwarding Centralized Monitoring and Visibility Multi-Transport support (MPLS, LTE, Broadband) Distributed Analytics Secure connecivity between forwarding elements Interoperability to legacy Intelligent Active / Active utilization Multi-topology suppor per application Embedded enterprise grade networking 8
What to consider when evaluating Topology and Segmentation support Key Management between endpoints IaaS and SaaS integration Enterprise routing feature support Application Awareness support Service Insertion capabilities Form Factor availability Supported Transport options Control and Management Infrastructure 9
Customer Example of Before and After Company and Franchise-owned Enterprise across 4200 sites WAN Components Before After Circuit Poor price to bandwidth economics Tied to 2 providers 60-70% less costly broadband at high bandwidth Free to choose any provider Time to Capability Implement - 2 stores per day 9-12 months planning for any change 25 stores a night Expedited planning and provisioning Security Costly security - firewalls and MPLS infrastructure for isolation Network security built-in Network fully segmented Management Inefficient - combination of home grown, carrier provided and 3 rd party tools Centralized control, full visibility and operationally elegant 10
