Wide Area Networking (WAN) By the Numbers
2
Future Present
• 50% to 80% improvement in branch
network provisioning times powered by
software
• 10% of enterprises will have replaced their
WAN routing with SD-WAN-based path
forwarding by year-end 2018, up from less
than 1% today
• 30% of enterprises will use software-based
(SD-WAN) products in all their branches
by 2019, up from less than 1% today
• 20% annual growth/year of cloud
services causing organizations to
adjust their networks to match
prevailing user & application needs
• 65% to 70% of enterprises in N.A.
manage their own equipment
• 95% of enterprise sites are still
connected to their existing enterprise
WAN using on-premises network
hardware devices

• Internet of Things (IoT) will soon outstrip human users,
requiring secure, simple connectivity
• Increasing complexity to manage and support the
(hybrid) WAN and Cloud in multiple locations
(e.g., 25+ locations)
• Exploding real-time, bandwidth intensive applications,
increasing stress on network performance, increasing
security needs
• Increasing cost of existing remote location/branch
equipment, especially during a refresh cycle
• Increasing provisioning times and the need for enhanced
branch availability/uptime
• Limited or no IT personnel on-site in remote locations
• Need to reduce overall IT budgets across the WAN
Drivers for a More Efficient WAN

“I want a way to manage my
network similar to how I
manage applications. I want an
approach that is proven,
simplified and secured, and
not just for cost savings.”
P R I VAT E N E T W O R K C O N F I D E N C E O V E R A N Y C O N N E C T I O N
An enterprise network created, defined, and controlled by a central software platform that remotely
configures and monitors physical and virtual customer premises equipment (CPE) connected by a mix of
network technologies including Internet/Broadband, Wireless LTE, Ethernet Local Access, and MPLS.

Why SD-WAN Is So Compelling
7
RETAILERS, BANK ATMS,
KIOSKS
EXPIRING MPLS
CONTRACTS (10Mbps and below)
Customers with many
locations, but standardized
requirements per site, e.g.,
• Retailers
• Fast-food chains
• Banks with ATMs
• Lottery machines
• Kiosks, etc.
Global customers with
locations where Internet
is available, but MPLS
services are cost-
prohibitive
INTERNATIONAL
Who Benefits?

Customers looking for
bandwidth upgrades
(20Mbps or more), but
expecting per location
costs under
$350/month
INTEGRATORS LOOKING TO WHOLESALE
SD-WAN INFRASTRUCTURE
Solution providers adding network
enablement and broadband aggregation to
a list of provided-for services.
COMPANIES HISTORICALLY SOLVING
PRIVATE NETWORK SEPARATELY
Companies providing high bandwidth Internet
connections for traveler/business convenience,
such as hotel chains.
Owners prefer leveraging single connection for
corporate and customer use without purchasing
additional MPLS service.
