3. What is an SD-WAN?

4. What is an SD-WAN?

5. SD-WAN Common Attributes • Zero Touch Provisioning • Policy-based, Application-based Routing • Centralized Policy Orchestration • Active-Active WAN Links • Internet & MPLS • Hardware & Virtualized Solution • Application Reporting • Error Correction

6. SD-WAN Deployment Considerations • Proprietary Technology - No Interoperability Between Vendors • Tunnel Overhead • Enterprise Architecture – no multi-tenancy • Complex Setup and Maintenance • Limited Routing Capabilities for Most Vendors • Expensive • Enterprise (Capex) vs Managed services model (Opex)

7. SD-WAN Hype Vs Reality

8. Customers need to understandBroadband Vs Dedicated Internet • Broadband • Asymmetrical speeds (6Mbps/1Mbps, 30Mbps/3Mpbs) • Cheap ($100-$300) and mostly available • Best effort service – Speed is NEVER guaranteed • Site survey required to validate speed package • Low upload speeds (<10-15Mbps) • Upload usually 10% of download • No SLAs • Cable or DSL, mostly • Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) • Symmetrical (10Mbps/10Mbps, 100Mbps/100Mbps) • Much higher price ($700-$3000) • Still best effort • MTTR SLA, sometimes

9. Masergy SD-WAN – Features • Performance and data resiliency features include: • Dynamic Path Control and Adaptive Forward Error Correction • Automatic IP-VPN tunnels with AES 256 encryption • Centralized Policy and Configuration Management • Fully-Managed Hardware maintenance • Support for 6 Business Intent Policy Overlays • Optional WAN Optimization Masergy’s Managed SD-WAN enables new design options that drive application performance and security while enhancing price-performance optimization

16. WAN Optimization • Latency Mitigation • TCP and other protocol acceleration techniques minimizing the effects of latency on applications • Significantly improves application response times across the WAN • Data Reduction • WAN compression and deduplication is applied • Eliminates repetitive transmission of data • Advanced finger-printing recognizes patterns for local delivery

19. Take Away for SD-WAN • Two main questions • Do I need an SD-WAN? • Should we buy an enterprise solution or a managed solution? • Only provider that can support MPLS, NaaS, Managed, or customer provided Internet as transport solutions with a fully managed solution • Both MPLS and Internet with secure tunnels • Direct site to site communication • On-site and NFV version • Path conditioning • WAN Optimization
