Deploying new WAN services can take a long time and require a significant up-front capital investment. The software-defined nature of SD-WAN enables service agility, rapid rollout, and instant-on WAN that the Service Provider can immediately benefit from. This accelerates the time to market and time to revenue.

5. Key Capabilities of SD-WAN (Source: Gartner)
1. Lightweight WAN CPE replacement that is
transport agnostics
2. Allow for dynamic load sharing across multiple
WAN
3. Dramatically simplify the complexity associated
with management, configuration, and
orchestration of the WAN
4. Provide secure VPN and ability to integrate
additional network services and offload Internet
traffic closer to the edge of the network

Legacy WAN: ACL, IP address, subnets
SD-WAN: App-level policy
Legacy WAN: Need to put application in the right
queue
SD-WAN: App-awareness to choose the right
queue
Legacy WAN: Complex routing tuning & PBR to
do split tunnel
SD-WAN: App-aware split tunnel policy & single
click
Legacy WAN: Routing protocol tuning, probes,
PBR
SD-WAN: Dynamic path selection
