Next-Generation Wide-Area Networking

The wide-area network (WAN) is the connective tissue of a distributed enterprise. It connects end users and remote sites to applications, customers, partners, and much more. It is an essential infrastructure foundation for any company that does business across multiple communities, nations, or continents. The WAN is also in the midst of rapid change driven by the cloud, evolving business models, and technology innovations like software-defined WAN. For instance, these changes are prompting enterprises to replace MPLS with public internet connectivity. Many are replacing network appliances in their remote sites with software-based or cloud-based network functions and services. And they are re-architecting their networks to optimize how users connect to the external, public cloud.
