Enterprise adoption of cloud and SaaS applications drive demand for flexible WAN options.
Masergy Communications Inc. has announced the addition of Managed Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) to its global hybrid networking portfolio. SD-WAN is a relatively new approach to designing and deploying wide area networks to meet business and application performance requirements.
Mainstream enterprise adoption of public cloud services and SaaS applications are driving the demand for agile hybrid networks that can intelligently combine broadband and high performance private networks. Market research firm International Data Corp (IDC) underscores this trend, reporting that "SD-WAN revenues are expected to exceed $6 billion in 2020, with a compounded growth rate of more than 90% between 2015 and 2020."
