Abstract

This IDC study provides a view of worldwide SD-WAN infrastructure market shares by vendor, covering both hardware and software revenue.

"As organizations look to the future state of their enterprise network in a post-COVID-19 world, they're increasingly realizing the importance of connectivity, especially in the wide area network. Applications that enterprises rely on are distributed, and in response to COVID-19, the users accessing those applications are also more distributed than ever. Enterprises are looking for ways to assure end-user and application experiences in these distributed environments," says Brandon Butler, senior research analyst, Network Infrastructure, IDC. "SD-WAN technology helps enterprises achieve next-generation edge network architectures, particularly as it relates to security natively integrated with their WAN management tools and enabling optimized access to cloud-based applications. IDC believes SD-WAN technology will be a key technology for enterprises as they look to build out their digital transformation journeys in 2021 and beyond."
