WAN Modernization

In the age of the Cloud most of the network traffic from the branch is headed directly to the internet (DIA). This is also driving increased need for higher bandwidth while customers are faced with lower CAPEX and OPEX budgets. Broadband delivers better cost for performance than MPLS. It also improves latency for internet bound traffic.

To address these requirements, service providers need to expand their network services beyond MPLS VPN. Both enterprises and their service providers must adapt their network architecture to leverage broadband and cellular links in addition to MPLS to deliver seamless, reliable, and secure WAN overlay services on any network.

Application Delivery Platform

Today many business productivity applications are delivered as SaaS services including unified communications, online collaboration, rich media applications. In addition to that there are IT applications delivered from the datacenter or private cloud. Depending on traffic type such as voice, video or data the demands on network performance factors such as jitter, latency and packet loss vary. Many IT applications are also developed on a multiple public cloud IaaS or PaaS infrastructures.

Managed service providers can offer Secure Multi-Cloud Onramp and SLA Management services with centralized management and analytics to improve application performance through optimal exit points, monitoring and service assurance.

Branch Simplification

One of the biggest problems Service providers face with quickly growing their customer base and therefore revenue is the lack of agility in building, deploying and operating branch sites at scale. It requires a truck roll and takes several weeks to bring up a branch. Moreover they have to manage several point products at any given branch, which increases complexity and cost.

Managed Service Providers can take advantage of capabilities such as Zero-touch deployment and provisioning, global deployment templates, custom portal, and purpose-built CPE with integrated SDWAN, NGFW, WAN Optimization to reduce time to deploy to minutes, simplify operational management and expand services to SD-Branch.
