SD-WAN Gains, As Expected

SD-WAN is gaining traction in the digital business environment, a new survey conducted by Altman Solon for Masergy finds.  SD-WAN adoption is expected to rise to 92 percent of companies and 64 percent of sites by 2026 with most adopting it for efficiency (38 percent), cost savings (38 percent), and agility (34 percent).

A majority of companies will use hybrid SD-WAN. Some 58 percent expect to use a hybrid access model (a mix of both public and private access) over the next five years. Both private-only access users (63 percent) and public-only access users (55 percent) are considering a shift to hybrid access. 


Among respondents using a public-only or internet-only approach to SD-WAN, 50 percent said they would incorporate more private access because performance is insufficient for their critical applications.


About 23 percent of respondents use a do-it-yourself solution, and 77 percent use a fully managed or co-managed solution.
