ABSTRACT
Service providers can use a Software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) product as a more-flexible, cost-effective alternative to MPLS service, or reach out to new customer segments, such as small or mid-size businesses. SD-WAN would accelerate the service provider’s transition to Cloud-based e software-defined networking (SDN)/network functions virtualization (NFV) services such as automating key processes of networking. SD-WAN are a milestone separating the legacy and next-generation networking and thus possess strategic implications to service providers’ business models and environment. Deploying an SD-WAN framework means more intelligence and logic in software rather than in hardware for service providers. SD-WAN can help service providers increase profitability while accommodating wide area network market trends. Tyro’s Managed SD-WAN offers application aware routing that measures and monitors performance of multiple services in the hybrid network with more granular control of where and under what circumstances an application transaction uses a specific service.
