Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) will be used at 66 percent of surveyed North American companies by the end of 2020, a survey by IHS Market finds.
Companies deploying SD-WAN use over 50 percent more bandwidth than those who have not deployed it, the survey suggests. Their bandwidth needs are also growing at twice the rate of companies using traditional WANs.
The first wave of SD-WAN deployments focused on cost reduction, and this is still clearly the case, with survey respondents indicating their annual megabits-per-second cost is 30 percent lower, with costs declining at a faster rate than in traditional WAN deployments.
SD-WAN solutions not only solve the transportation and WAN cost reduction issue, but also help enterprises create a fabric for the multi-cloud.
