The business landscape across the globe has been in a constant state of flux. New entrants and the race to keep oneself relevant in an increasingly competitive landscape can be quite jarring for some businesses to deal with. In this scenario, where ideas and innovation are the currency for the future, technology has a major role to play as an enabler. The shift towards digitized solutions has been quite apparent for enterprises across sectors, and this shift has catapulted growth, creating a gamut of opportunities for industries like banking, healthcare and telecom. However, these very industries are now tasked with adopting newer technologies and aligning them with their current infrastructure, resulting in a change in the way businesses operate.
The expansive growth in technology and the need to engage customers in a more immersive manner has had a unique impact on every industry. For the service providers, digitalization opens the flood gate for borderless network<\/a> transformation and enhancing customer experiences by taking them to the next level. Beyond network<\/a> transformation, having an agile network also means that these providers can bring in a dynamic shift in their core network infrastructure and digitize operations internally.
Modern enterprises who need to keep up with the digital business environment that exists today, require a smart and adaptable network that is built to deliver flexibility, automation and secure connectivity. A software defined network architecture or SDWAN<\/a> can achieve this for them. SDWAN<\/a> can completely topple the network management workflow and makes a perfect fit for organizations looking to move toward cloud-based solutions especially hybrid and multi-cloud. These further enhance the performance and delivery of SaaS<\/a> and\/or cloud-based business applications<\/a>.
Another undeniable benefit of SDWAN is the reduced cost factor. Instead of spending on expensive WAN or other hardware, SDWAN provides significantly better performance while not compromising on physical storage space. SDWAN offers an “easy-button’ for enterprises to achieve seamless connectivity for their networks on and off-campus.
Service providers, especially communications service providers are often tackling challenges like bandwidth commoditization with factors like speed and cost acting as hindrances on their growth tangent. Such providers have a lot to be gained from SDWAN. In a highly competitive managed services market, SDWAN offers them flexible and cost-effective managed services thereby increasing the business value that they offer to the customers. The inflated WAN traffic flow along with proliferation and increased use of cloud and SaaS<\/a> applications<\/a> requires an intelligent network that can manage this workflow seamlessly. An SDWAN network can prioritize business applications for such enterprises allowing them to comfortably gain access to the most important apps.
A strong network infrastructure does more than improve external business growth. With the explosive adoption of smart devices and “appification”, enterprises are tasked with integrating their business and mobile workflow strategy. With an increasingly mobile workforce, IT needs to ensure that they provide the right support mechanism to manage their workloads. The success of this mobile workload strategy for digital transformation depends on the delivery and performance of core business applications and there in, the overall user experience. An unreliable network can have a profoundly negative impact not only on productivity, but also on the interaction of an employee with a current and\/or potential customer. In a distributed employee structure of a global enterprise, as more applications migrate to the cloud and adoption of critical business applications like Microsoft Office 365 continues to rise, a sturdy software defined WAN would be the best approach for any enterprise.
Over the next few years, the fast-evolving SDWAN market is poised to see tremendous growth. In fact, according to IDC<\/a>, the SDWAN market is expected to reach $4.5 billion in 2022.Further, after having realized the various benefits of SDWAN, its adoption is expected to see an upward trend. With SDWAN as a core element of the enterprise IT infrastructure for most businesses, borderless growth that redefines the future of work will be the only way forward.
