SD-WAN is a substantial technology advancement in the WAN edge. It is more than just a new protocol. It is a smart architecture that uses a centralized orchestrator to intelligently send traffic across the WAN. Thanks to the massive worldwide adoption, SD-WAN became a global billion-dollar business. Traditional WANs are based on legacy protocols that are slow, inflexible, and require individual management. SD-WAN monitors applications and resources at the WAN edge and can adapt to network conditions when they are degraded. In this course you will learn about the roots of SD-WAN: Software Defined Networks; then examine the history of Viptela and how it became Cisco's SD-WAN. Despite its recent adoption, SD-WAN is growing at a fast speed; however, Cisco is not the only vendor offering it. We will examine how Cisco compares to other vendors and we will review the recent market status of SD-WAN using Gartner's Magic Quadrant.
