Organizations are looking at how to reduce the costs of WAN management and WAN optimization.  With the advent of Cloud based applications for a private, public or hybrid cloud, businesses are searching for the best solution to help not only implement these changes, but to manage them as well.   Here are three of the most important factors affecting WAN administration today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Security<\/strong>: Without question, the most important factor affecting the implementation of any SD-WAN solution, is security. Our research revealed that security of applications hosted in the cloud and locally was paramount to IT administrators.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0But it is not only security of cloud based applications.\u00a0 Transmission across the WAN is equally important, especially for organizations with international operations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Ease of Management:<\/strong> This gives rise to the second most important factor affecting WAN administrators.\u00a0\u00a0 Administrator skills required to manage the WAN.\u00a0\u00a0 Organizations cited that the need to have highly skilled, and in some cases, vendor certified personnel to manage their WAN equipment was costing too much, especially with on-going maintenance of proprietary systems and solutions.\u00a0 More than 50% of respondents stated that they have difficulty in retaining IT expertise, especially in today\u2019s job market. \u00a0\u00a0Solutions that keep it simple, easy to manage and cost effective are preferred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Compatibility with existing networks:<\/strong>\u00a0 Very few suppliers can claim to have a suite of offerings that can address the complex need to address security, ease of management of private and public cloud application needs and compatibility with existing networks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rip and replace is not something WAN administrators want, or should do.\u00a0\u00a0 There is growing need to upgrade, enhance and augment existing infrastructures, using the equipment and legacy systems to help implement a SD-WAN solution that is compatible with current networking technology and protocols such as BGP. EIGRP, and OSPF, and well as provide inbound and outbound load balancing and traffic control.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
