Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) Service Provider Compendium 2022

With accelerating digital transformation and enterprises adding more services and applications to their networks, the traditional Wide Area Network (WAN) is no longer efficient when it comes to handling enterprises’ network requirements. Thus, enterprises are increasingly adopting Software-defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions, which offer better network traffic management, visibility, and security, along with lower operating costs and investment. However, these solutions are marked by several adoption challenges, such as interoperability issues, concerns around change management, lack of trained resources, and poor visibility into application performance. Thus, enterprises are looking for the right partners to ensure successful SD-WAN deployments and to supplement their digital transformation journeys.

In this research, we present detailed assessments of 16 service providers featured on the SD-WAN Services PEAK Matrix®. Each profile offers a comprehensive picture of the SD-WAN service provider’s vision and strategy, scope of services offered, innovation and investments, delivery capabilities, and strengths and limitations.
