The SD-WAN Caravan: Expanding Beyond the Enterprise & SMB Sectors (Room B312)

Software-Defined Wide Area Networks, or SD-WANs, are a double-edged sword: They open up new market segments beyond enterprise and small/medium businesses (SMBs), and, they potentially cannibalize traditional WAN services. This three part session, hosted by Jeff Adelman of Cox Communications, with panelists Shiby Parayil from Ericsson and Narayan Raman from Nokia, provides an overview of the enterprise and SMB market opportunity for SD-WAN, and will review its economic and business drivers. Also: The processes, automation approaches, best practices, and risk mitigation factors involved with deploying and managing multi-vendor access networks.
