What has everyone talking about SD-WAN?

Dec. 06, 2018 By Tony Dunphy

The explosion of SD-WAN has caught the telecoms market by surprise. The technology has matured quickly.

As Enterprise customers demand more flexible, simple and cost-effective cloud-based solutions the popularity of SD-WAN continues to rise. There are some 40 different vendors in the appliance landscape; it goes without saying that market consolidation (and consolidation of product lines) is likely – making it important for enterprise buyers to do their homework.

Australian sd-wan provider


In a recent Frost & Sullivan study 51% of Enterprises surveyed indicated that they would deploy SD-WAN in the next 12-24 months. 33% of respondents had either already deployed an Australian SD-WAN solution or had deployment underway4.

Clearly SD-WAN is here for the long haul; we can only expect the growing trend to accelerate over the next few years.

Here’s some trends we’re seeing that make SD-WAN such a hot topic right now.

SD-WAN is advancing towards mainstream adoption. It’s currently estimated SD-WAN will comprise 25% of all WAN traffic by 20211. The worldwide router market declined 2.5% year over year in 2Q2018 with revenues of $3.8 billion, according to the IDC Quarterly Router Tracker.

1. IDC forecast that the SD-WAN market will grow at 40.4% CAGR from 2017 to 2022 to reach AUD$6.2B1
2. Enterprise branch bandwidth is rising; network traffic is doubling every 3 years2
3. 95% of all organisations will be relying on the SaaS model for application delivery by 20203
4. Growth in global Internet traffic is expected to increase by 3x from 2016 to 20211
5. The percentage of WAN being managed using SD-WAN will increase to approximately 30% by the end of 20194
