Versa Networks and VMware are two major companies providing SD–WAN solutions. Along with other market giants, these are also in competition with each other by offering state-of-the-art capabilities to their customers. As we know,  each business has its own requirements oriented around its customers’ needs. Here, we are going to take a technical overview of the SD–WAN solutions that these companies are providing to analyse their usability for a variety of enterprises.

Silver Peak vs Versa

According to updated reports of the Dell’Oro Group, there are five top SD–WAN vendors who are running toe-to-toe for supremacy in the SD–WAN market share. The year 2019 was seen as a breakout year for the adoption of SD–WAN when it surpassed a $1 billion market share. According to already mentioned reports, Cisco, Versa Network, VMware, Silver Peak and Fortinet are holding high ranking positions, as these top SD–WAN market leaders accounted for a 60% accumulated share in the generated revenue in 2019. But none of them surpassed a 20% share of the market, which shows a high potential for competition among the market giants for dominance. That is why these are still early days for penetration into the market.

SD-WAN and Network Functions

A deluge of buzzwords in the field of the networking industry often creates confusion for the ordinary reader. So many acronyms, similar to one another, and even the core technologies behind each one of these acronyms builds into another, with overlapping themes, which adds further confusion into the picture. It becomes difficult to understand their working and functionalities in a clear and distinct way.

Cisco vs VMware

No matter which market share report is considered, either Cisco or VMware holds the top SD–WAN vendor ranking. Both these giants have been battling for supremacy in the SD–WAN market ever since they  began to spend millions of dollars in this field. Cisco paid 600 million dollars to buy Viptela in 2017, and VMware paid 450 million dollars to buy leading SD–WAN startup VeloCloud in the same year.

How to Deploy DIY SD-WAN

We have seen a rapid increase in the deployment of SD-WAN by organisations of all scales. It is essential to understand the various methods of SD-WAN deployment. Generally, there are two approaches to deploying software-defined networking: managed SD-WAN providers and do-it-yourself (DIY) methods. In the latter approach, any external service provider is not hired for the deployment of SD-WAN. Instead, it is managed and set up by the company's own IT teams.

Work From Home

COVID-19 dominates working life today. Office staff throughout the world have settled into their work-from-home set-ups. Nevertheless, a significant portion of the global population do not have access to broadband internet at home; even more have weak internet connections. Working from home rarely offers the high-quality connections employees enjoy at the office. Freelancers also suffer a similar problem. Individuals and organisations are therefore looking for technologies that will enable productivity as working from home continues.

Digital Transformation

SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a virtual wide area network that has revolutionised how users connect to their applications, no matter where the application resides. Previously, 80% of applications were located in branch offices or core datacenters, and communication was through a leased line, usually MPLS. This has changed today. With the emergence of the public cloud and the adoption of the public cloud by enterprises, applications can be literally anywhere.
