Enterprise Customers Challenges in the WAN
Enterprise customers want reduced costs and independence from CSP
Pains with WAN Links
• High cost of IP/MPLS-based WAN Links
• CSP dependency
• No seamless way to add capacity and
Physical Network Functions
• Desire of using more BB-based WAN
Links
• Lack of Security and Reliability when
using BB-based WAN Links
• Manual and device-level configurations
require highly skilled engineers
• Slow Time to Market and Time to
Revenue
Pains with Physical Appliances
• High cost of managing several Physical
Appliances in remote locations (truck
rolls, logistic, inventory, etc.)
• CSP dependency
• No seamless way to add capacity and
Physical Network Functions
• Manual and device-level configurations
require highly skilled engineers
• Slow Time to Market and Time to
Revenue

CSP Challenges in the WAN
• SD-WAN vendors going directly to CSP’s enterprise customers
• SD-WAN vendors promising enterprise customers reduced costs
and independence from CSP
• Enterprise customers threatening CSP with SD-WAN solutions
• CSP sees an increased demand of BB-based WAN links from
enterprise customers
• CSP sees a decreased demand of IP/MPLS-based WAN links from
enterprise customers
CSP’s revenue from traditional VPN services may be at risk

Giving the Control Back to CSPs
CSP should offer enterprise customers managed SD-WAN
SD-WAN Technology Risk
• Is the Enterprise customer choosing the
most suitable SD-WAN solution in order to
address its needs?
• Does the Enterprise customer has the
expertise to deploy, manage, troubleshoot
the SD-WAN solution?
• Will the Enterprise customers applications
hit the performance levels they need?
• Do the SD-WAN Vendors have local
inventory/dispatch if CPE fails in an
international location?
• May the chosen SD-WAN solution by the
Enterprise customer become a proprietary
dead end?
Managed Services Mitigation
• CSP has investigated available SD-WAN and
NVF solutions for functionality, security and
resilience
• CSP handles end-to-end network and
service design, deployment, operation and
maintenance
• CSP delivers underlying IP/MPLS networks
in order to ensure the performance levels
the Enterprise customers need
• CSP maintains global operating companies,
sourcing partnerships
• CSP can take the risk of CPE ownership
over the length of a contract

Summary
• SD-WAN takes the SDN advantages found in DC, and applies them to WAN
solutions for enterprise customers
• Ease of deployment and use
• Dynamic path control to optimize traffic among multiple WAN
connections
• Application classification to monitor performance and policy-based
management
• For enterprises SD-WAN promises reduced costs and independence from
service providers
• For CSP SD-WAN enables new service revenue selling managed SD-WAN
services and enables new off-net revenue
ADVA Optical Networking can deliver a unique and comprehensive SD-WAN solution
