We envision the new advanced SD-WAN on two unique pillars: network edge (redefined by uCPE and NFVi stack) and a new wave of WAN backbone connectivity covering both CSP backbone (like Azure vWAN) and dedicated backbone (from network service nodes like Equinix and Digital Reality). This makes the enterprise's end-to-end journey from branch to cloud seamless, modular, visualized and automated. SD-WAN is critical to enterprise adoption of new-age digital technologies, with WAN pipe feeding into not only new campus initiatives but also IoT, Industry 4.0, private 5G, edge computing and WiFi 6-driven use cases.
