Software-Defined Wide Area Network Industry Overview

The Software-defined Wide Area Network Market is highly competitive and consists of several major players. In terms of market share, few of the major players currently dominate the market. The service providers are engaging themselves in mergers and acquisitions in order to gain a competitive advantage and trigger expansion.

In February 2022, Cisco joined hands with Microsoft Teams and Office 365 to address inconsistent software-as-a-service (SaaS) performance. Cisco released an updated version of their SD-WAN software which supports the optimal routing of Microsoft SaaS apps, including Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams on their SD-WAN. Cisco SD-WAN customers can leverage Cisco’s Cloud OnRamp to intelligently route Microsoft 365 traffic to provide the fastest, most secure, and most reliable end-user experience.

In March 2022, Verizon collaborated with VMware, which will help Verizon roll the software giant’s VeloCloud SD-WAN platform into its managed services portfolio. The service includes a centralized SD-WAN orchestrator, a network of globally distributed SD-WAN gateways, and a bevy of edge appliances for branch connectivity.

In November 2022, TVI, the technology services distributor, signed a deal with Aryaka that will allow TBI agents to sell the secure network services provider’s offering. It will also offer a unified, secure access service edge (SASE). With its advanced technology, Aryaka fully converges advanced networking and cybersecurity features onto the same cloud-based platform rather than running them in separate silos.
