SD-WAN orchestrated by Amdocs

What is software-defined wide area network? SD-WAN determines the most cost-effective and efficient way to route enterprise traffic to remote locations over ubiquitous broadband and traditional IP/MPLS

Combines the best of MPLS and Broadband MPLS dedicated connectivity Internet Connectivity best-efforts internet SD-WAN Expensive Say $300-600/Mbps per month Cost efficient Say $2-15/Mbps per month Reduced cost per Mbps High performance Quality not guaranteed High performance through traffic offload & MPLS 3 months 1 week Fast deployment through broadband and automation

SD-WAN fundamentally changes the economics of enterprise services Retain & acquire customers Reduce CAPEX MPLS Internet + Reduce OPEX Generate new revenues

Retain & acquire customers Flexibility through Hybrid Network & SD-WAN Retain customer, eliminate risk of lost revenue MPLS Internet+

Reduce CAPEX Commodity hardware Move to low cost, white box appliances

Reduce OPEX Zero-touch provisioning & software agility Instant deployment Self-service Elimination of truck rolls

Generate new revenues Security and apps Revenue upside potential per customer
