IDC forecasts sales of SD-WAN technologies to reach $4.5 bln in 2022
19 September 2018
Espoo, Finland - Nokia is introducing the latest release of the Nuage Networks Virtualized Network Services (VNS) platform, offering the most powerful and secure end-to-end network governance across a multi-cloud environment, with complete visibility and control from a single management interface. Nuage Networks VNS is the industrys first and only SD-WAN 2.0 offering that is more than a network connectivity platform, providing a services architecture to deliver and orchestrate enterprise IT services across data centers, public cloud services, SaaS provider clouds and enterprise branch sites.
Enterprise IT departments have embraced the concept of SD-WAN, with leading telecommunications research firm IDC forecasting the worldwide market for SD-WAN infrastructure will record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.4% from 833 million in 2017 to more than 4.5 billion in 2022. IDC expects the market will expand by about 58% in 2018 to be worth more than $1.3 billion.[1]
First-generation SD-WAN solutions have been limited in scope to automating and managing connectivity of branch offices, which are underserved by IP-VPN services. However, as more enterprises migrate their business applications to the cloud, they must provide seamless WAN connectivity. This includes connectivity not only between customer premises equipment at branch and regional sites, but also to their private data centers, SaaS providers and public clouds - all within a unified security and governance model. Moreover, there is demand from enterprise customers to leverage this services platform to deploy and manage Value Added Services including VoIP, Next-Generation Firewall, IoT, and WiFi Access.
Nuage Networks VNS is the only SD-WAN 2.0 offer in the industry that is purpose-built to solve these new enterprise IT challenges with a seamless, automated and unified next generation solution. Nuage Networks SD-WAN 2.0 opens up a new dynamic in networking by providing services with flexible multi-cloud capabilities, the industrys most robust, built-in end-to-end security and a versatile architecture to deliver value-added services anywhere. These capabilities provide an immediate reduction in operational expenses and cost, superior agility, operational consistency across a multi-cloud environment and the ability to offer a diverse set of applications and services that can be consumed at the branch and/or the cloud. Longer term, the platform enables enterprises to future-proof their networks, addressing not only todays IT challenges, but also quickly adapting to their future needs.
Nuage Networks is continuing its strong push in the next generation SD-WAN market with recent contracts with service providers and enterprises from around the world including Banco Multiva, Cogeco Peer1, Credit Andorra, Etisalat, Equal, Globe Telecom, NTT Com India, Orange X, Telefonica, UPMC, and Vertel, in addition to over 50 service providers world-wide that have selected Nuage Networks VNS for their managed SD-WAN offering. With over 400 enterprise customers, Nuage Networks VNS is increasingly the choice of global carriers and enterprises looking to automate, secure and optimize their IT processes as well as their WAN, datacenter and public cloud networks.
Patrick Farges, sales & marketing leader at Orange X, said: The flexibility and high-level of automation provided to us by this SD-WAN 2.0 platform from Nuage Networks has unlocked new business opportunities and enabled us to rapidly launch new and highly differentiated network and security services. Working closely with Nuage Networks has helped us to adapt this advanced platform for the SME market.
Michel Bouffier, CIO at Banco Multiva (Grupo Financiero Multiva), said: Along with end-to-end governance and security for our customers, we welcome the versatility of this SD-WAN 2.0 platform which allows us to not only support a hybrid environment in our datacenters, but also extends to our nationwide branch network. This provides us with crucial end-to-end policy-based network automation and security, giving us full visibility on the connectivity conditions of our branches in order to procure an outstanding customer service.
Cliff Grossner, Ph.D., senior research director and advisor, cloud and data center research practice of IHS Markit, a global business information provider, said: The adoption of SD-WAN by enterprise grows rapidly, driven by the desire to connect branch locations and on-premises data centers with workloads placed in cloud service provider data centers and SaaS services. Effectively, enterprises are creating a Multi-cloud ecosystem. Ensuring a high-quality user experience with applications distributed across the multi-cloud makes secure, high-performance adaptive connectivity an imperative. For 2017, the revenue to cloud service providers was over $160 billion, with revenue over $375 billion forecast for 2022. 2017 revenue for SD-WAN vendors was $475 million, and is expected to hit 3.6 billion in 2022, signaling a strong need for secure multi-cloud connectivity. Nuage Networks SD-WAN 2.0 focus on providing a secure virtual networking fabric for the multi-cloud answers an important market requirement.
