As the networking landscape transforms to a software-defined approach, vendors are releasing a slew of new offerings aimed at reducing costs, increasing network automation and driving efficiency.
Solution providers should keep a keen eye on the new networking products launched recently by Cisco Systems, CloudGenix, Aruba Networks, Brocade Communications, Mushroom Networks and Riverbed around routers, network controllers and SD-WAN. SD-WAN, in particular, is a fast-growing market, one that research firm IHS expects to grow at a CAGR of 90 percent with the market tipping $1.3 billion by 2020, making up 71 percent of WAN optimization revenue in four years.
