This week I had the chance to attend one of GBI Impact’s #cio events. Events like this are great since you:

Get to meet others from a variety of backgrounds and services
See what is happening or changing in the technology space
Exchange great ideas, with like-minded peers and integrators
Discuss solutions to things you or they may be thinking about as well

Out of this meeting, something that has continued to stick out is the eventual future of the internet, especially looking at Software-defined wide area networks (SD-WANs). With many companies moving to more Cloud, SaaS, iPaaS, … Edge computing there is a need for more. By “more” I mean, cloud security enforcement points, cloud-delivered security services, automatic failover, and overall endpoint control.

When moving to all these Cloud technologies, companies are starting to feel bandwidth constraints. It can take some time to feel the squeeze, although, without a fast, secure, and high-performing network, enterprise digital transformation initiatives can stall. SD-WANs in some cases can become a pivotal digital transformation enabler especially when you have a global, large footprint organization, and looking to drive strategic decisions across the enterprise.

One of the vendors that talks about the future of SD-WANs is Aryaka Networks
