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
The live event was on May 19 & 20, 2020
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.
