The role of open source in your SD-WAN strategy
Sorell Slaymaker, Principal Analyst at TechVision Research and Amir Zmora, CEO of flexiWAN share their view on the path to SD-WAN, how market requirements change over time and the role of open source in supporting this change.
In this webinar you will learn:
- How open source will lead to a de facto SD-WAN standard
- Why service providers are choosing to resell multiple SD-WAN vendors in order to service different market segments
- How a modular architecture can streamline the service
offering across market segments
For the first time in 25 years, we are putting in the network solutions that do not have an IETF defined protocol standard.
Today’s SD-WAN solutions are not cross vendor compatible. When we interconnect SD-WAN solutions, we must go back
to the least common denominator of IP BGP & IPSec hence, we lose all of the inherent functionality of SD-WAN. Will open
source create a de facto SD-WAN standard to streamline end-to-end services?
The webinar will also review takeaways from the +90 page TechVision SD-WAN report.
