This document discusses the opportunity for service providers and operators to leverage SDWAN. It notes that legacy networks are facing challenges keeping up with business needs to migrate to the cloud. SDWAN provides a solution by enabling greater network agility and resilience while improving application performance across multiple connection types. The majority of businesses will convert to SDWAN in the next few years, making it crucial for operators to develop an SDWAN strategy. SDWAN provides incremental improvements through technologies as well as processes, people, and maximizing automation.
The greatest SDWAN sales slidedeck ever created
- 1. The SDWAN opportunity How service providers and operators can leverage the business case
- 2. Legacy networks are facing an Extinction Level Event • Business has justified the migration to the cloud • Branch and office networks are yet to make the transition to seamless integrate into the cloud • Business cannot afford to continue to drown in complexity • Reliability of networks has become paramount • Legacy networks are expensive, clumsy and not fit for purpose.
- 3. In which era are we living? Products (1970s) Products + Services (1990s) Customer centric (2000s) Relationship centric Today
- 4. Drivers for SDWAN • Greater demands than ever are being made on business networks and the supporting infrastructure • Business requirements are for greater agility and resilience while improving application performance. • SDWAN provides the solution. • Significant majority of businesses will convert during the next few years peaking in 2021. • Operators without an SDWAN strategy will become irrelevant.
- 5. SDWAN is the incremental improvement for networks • kaizen - “big results come from many small changes accumulated over time” • Improvements are not limited to only technology but also: • processes • people • Less resources, supporting more clients • Crucially leveraging relationships while maximizing automation of the rest
- 6. Leading industry experts have attributed these four characteristics to SDWAN • Must support multiple connection types Broadband and leased lines • Can do dynamic path selection Allows usage across WAN connections • Provides a simple mechanism to manage WANs Supports zero-touch provisioning and should be as easy as pie • Provides tunnelling support Integrates third party services such as cloud, WAN optimization, information security, IoT, etc. Free set of steak knives included: • Visibility of business services negating the requirement of additional and costly network management platforms
- 7. People are adopting leading edge engineering solutions for networking – operations based on the cloud will take your business forward using software defined wide area networking (SDWAN)
- 8. Bob is bringing a new branch online. The fibre for the branch in Parktown is not yet trenched. Bob uses his SDWAN solution to temporary use LTE to connect his branch in Rosebank and make certain that his mission critical apps have QoS.
- 9. Diana implemented SDWAN for a national car dealership and enabled them to transfer large vehicle configuration files five times faster.
- 10. Howard has a logistics business with hundreds of trucks. His operations are all based in the cloud but he only started seeing real value after installing a reliable and easy to use SDWAN.
- 11. Ingrid, the CIO, is finally in the good books of the CEO. The tills in their retail chain are ringing up uninterrupted after she commissioned a SDWAN.
- 12. Mordac, the company security geek, finally sleeps well at night after secure and encrypted network links were implemented using SDWAN.
- 13. Gary scored a great bonus by delivering crystal clear voice services by using VoIP on a new SDWAN deployment.
- 14. Freddy improved the uptime of his company network to 99.999% by converting to a resilient SDWAN. Be like Freddy.
- 15. google “Ronald Bartels SDWAN” to read my articles about the awesome world of software defined networking!
