SD-WAN Complements Cloud
I think they can work together with SD-WAN that has network technology and the Cloud having the cloud technology so with them together they will be bigger and better.
Re: SD-WAN Complements Cloud
@clmoney:
Agree with you. The combination of SD-WAN and Cloud would be very functional. All other aspects like encryption, security have to be tightly integrated to make this combination really productive in the market.
SD-Wan
I am pretty sure they are gong to be able to work together. The network service technology is gong to be great. Using the cloud technology would be greater than before. It sounds to me tht they will be all working together like a family. I guess we will have to see.

Re: SD-Wan
Totally agree with the hardware part. Software is going to make networks a lot easier to use.
That being said, I'm still concerned about security issues. Because a network made of software is going to be vulnerable - there's no way around it.
Re: SD-Wan
@dcawrey:
I totally understand the concern around security. That is pretty obvious to think whenever we are dealing with cloud.
Mr.Isch already brought that up as a common concern that is heard from customers. And he responded by indicating several measures that they plan to follow.
" There's cloud-based security infrastructure that we can deploy. There are site-based firewalls. There are virtual firewalls. There's a lot of different ways that we can help customers through that. "
I know this wouldn't make it not vulnerable at all. But we got to have a plan and follow that and be vigilent.

Re: SD-Wan
Security is just the kicker that we keep coming back to. I don't think it would be as hot-button of an issue if anyone felt as though everything that could be done was being done when it comes to security. That being said, we are a lot better off now than we have been in the past. There may be a situation here where companies need to take advantage of the ease and cost savings of SD-WAN and cross their fingers that security catches up.

Re: SD-Wan
@afwriter We're certainly a lot better off from a consumer protections standpoint, but I believe there are still issues.
Technology moves so fast, its hard for IT to keep up. I don't think that battle will ever truly end.

Re: SD-Wan
I agree. While I think the conversation about security will never fully die. I do think we've made huge leaps when it comes to security!
Re: SD-Wan
@dlr5288:
Ofcourse, the conversations go on and on about security and its importance. That doesn't mean to say that efforts are not being made to bring good security on board into the industry. Undoubtedly experts are working their way to bring good level of security all the way. But i believe hackers are working their way up more aggressively and a bit more successfully. We are seeing that proven with every possible random incident, just recently with equifax.

Re: SD-Wan
True. I feel like when it comes to security hackers are always a step ahead of the game. It's hard to know what their next move will be and how to counteract it.
Re: SD-Wan
Absolutely, that is the real challenge. Hackers are apparently super innovative an dfatser than security companies.

Re: SD-Wan
@ms.akkineni yes, you are right, but this day hackers do attend gov. sponsored schools to learn new ways to hack... like in Russia/China... and they learn it...
Re: SD-Wan
That is interesting to know. What othe better options would teach better than those schools? That is very smart.

Re: SD-Wan
@ms.akkineni I keep telling my military friends we are years behind in cyber wars and we not ready to battle new threats... sad very sad reality... as in North America we not a warrior nation nor we have plans to occupy new territory...
Re: SD-Wan
@batye:
That could be true. It is a sad reality that we as a nation got to be ready to fight back with cyber crime. At the same time it makes me to sad thinking about all the destruction that we are planning to fight back when needed. I think it is common to be able to deal with positive and negative situations.

Re: SD-Wan
Very true. It’s going to be hard to completely stop them. But it’s possible for us to slow them down.
Different SD-WAN Solutions
It is very wise that they are going with three different SD-WAN solutions - Cisco, iPlanema and Riverbed's steelconnect. The three solutions are designed different structurally and that gives multiple options for customers to go with the closest fit. Also the three individually may have existing customer base that would retain their SD-WAN and opt for cloud now. That is an excellent way to expand customer base.
