Your WAN is a Mess, Freshen it up With SD-WAN

In Frost & Sullivan’s 2020 Global Cloud survey, 52% of the respondents said they have deployed Cloud IaaS and 42% said they currently use hybrid cloud. While cloud adoption continues to grow, enterprises have generally struggled to implement and maintain a secure, high-performing WAN that allows for efficient access to cloud-based applications across their user base. If you consider the distributed nature of enterprise applications, and now the increasingly distributed nature of employees working from home, the traditional branch networking method of backhauling traffic (from users and devices) to a centralized location is highly inefficient.

Furthermore, the rise in remote working and distributed users accessing cloud-hosted applications means that the enterprise perimeter is no longer limited to users within the company site. Think about it: if your applications are in the cloud, and the users are at home or at a branch location (spread across the globe), why is your organization’s security sitting at the headquarters location? The traditional model is time-consuming with subpar performance and a poor user experience. Secure Access Service Edge, or SASE, aims to address the need for a centralized, software-defined security architecture, when the apps and users are highly distributed. SASE combines the flexibility of SD-WAN with a full suite of virtual security services, all delivered from the cloud.

Please join VMware and Frost & Sullivan for this webinar to learn about:

• Market trends driving the business case for SASE
• The power of networking and security together
• How VMware delivers a cloud-native networking and security solution

Customers expect shorter shipping times and fast arrival, leaving no room for outdated technology in logistics and distribution channels. Operational downtime can put a huge strain on customer satisfaction, making reliable, stable network and cloud connectivity imperative for seamless business continuity. Learn more about how VMware SD-WAN, VMware SASE and Meriplex can help you drive operational efficiency for your business through flexible and scalable software-defined networking, visibility into application performance, cloud and edge security, dedicated networking experts, and rapid deployment.

Join us on May 12th at 12 pm CST with Sultan Dawood, Senior Product Marketing Manager at VMware, Rob Ford, Principal Technologist and David Turner SD-WAN Program Manager at Meriplex.

Enterprise networks are on the verge of a major tipping point, driven by the shift from employees working at a corporate office to working from anywhere. Enterprises are quickly realizing that legacy network and security architectures are inadequate. They must evolve toward a unified networking and security service that increases scalability, agility, and security in a user and application environment that is now highly distributed, and mobile across the Internet. The need to provision and deliver new networking and security services in a matter of hours, not weeks or months, holds as much priority as the ability to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). There is no question that the combination of cloud-based networking and security services that are global, context-driven, and flexible is fueling a wave of next-generation secure and optimized networking upgrades.
