SD-WAN management means more than reviewing logs and parsing events
Creating a single view of the different types of data requires specialized skills, custom integration and a significant budget. Just look at the SIEM.

Secure SD-WAN: The security vendors and their SD-WAN offerings
A networking vendor simply can’t jump into this space. Some SD-WANs add stateful packet filters and call this security.

AI and 5G: Entering a new world of data
The deployment model of vendor-centric equipment cannot sustain this exponential growth in traffic.

The evolution to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is being driven by necessity
The users and devices are everywhere. As a result, secure access services also need to be everywhere.

The software-defined data center drives agility
The value of SDN is doing as much as possible in the software so you don’t depend on the delivery of new features to come from a new generation of the hardware.
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE): A reflection of our times
Gartner makes the claim that the shift to SASE will make obsolete existing networking and security models.

A Virtual WAN: Moving closer to the enterprise
Virtual WAN will radically change the telecom environment, including how circuits are procured and who procures them.

Software-defined perimeter – the essence of trust
Within a zero-trust environment, there is no implicit trust. Thus, trust must be sourced from somewhere else in order to gain access to protected resources.

Intent-Based Networking (IBN): Bridging the gap on network complexity
Intent-Based Networking was a result of the need for greater network automation.

How edge computing is driving a new era of CDN
A CDN is an edge application and an edge application is a superset of what your CDN is doing.

Software Defined Perimeter (SDP): The deployment
After discussing with numerous SDP vendors, I have discovered that the current SDP landscape tends to be based on specific use cases and projects, as opposed to a technology that has to be implemented globally.

Software Defined Perimeter (SDP): Creating a new network perimeter
Considering the way networks work today and the change in traffic patterns; both internal and to the cloud, this limits the effect of the fixed perimeter.

Managed WAN and the cloud-native SD-WAN
The motivation for WAN transformation is clear, today organizations require: improved internet access and last mile connectivity, additional bandwidth and a reduction in the WAN costs.

The modern data center and the rise in open-source IP routing suites
Open source enables passionate people to come together and fabricate work of phenomenal quality. This is in contrast to a single vendor doing everything.

Open architecture and open source – The new wave for SD-WAN?
As networking continues to evolve, you certainly don't want to break out a forklift every time new technologies are introduced. Open architecture would allow you to replace the components of a system, and give you more flexibility to...

Performance-Based Routing (PBR) – The gold rush for SD-WAN
The inefficiency factor in the case of traditional routing is one of the main reasons why SD-WAN is really taking off.

Zero-trust: microsegmentation networking
Microsegmentation gives administrators the control to set granular policies in order to protect the application environment.

Software-defined perimeter: Identity-centric enforced network perimeter
Traditional VPNs no longer cut it.

Named data networking: Stateful forwarding plane for datagram delivery
Reinventing smart routing and dumb forwarding.

Named data networking: names the data instead of data locations
Will NDN kill the cloud, just like content delivery networks (CDN) kill latency?
