Nemertes WAN Economics Research Study 2018-19
Published on: September 18, 2018
Author: John Burke, CIO & Principal Research Analyst
The WAN is the central nervous system of the enterprise, and is in a period of massive change: integration of cloud resources into the IT service portfolio and migration of a significant portion of the enterprise’s work and data to the cloud; rapid increase in mobile devices as work platforms; expansion of Internet of Things deployments; and new WAN paradigms, especially SD-WAN. All of this puts renewed focus on the economics of wide-area networking: How much does it cost to connect a site to a WAN? What technologies are easiest, fastest, best performing? Which vendors provide the best technology, service, and value? The study uncovers current data on:
- MPLS, Ethernet, Wavelength, and Internet service costs
- Ratings for connectivity providers and ranking their ability to deliver, and deliver on time
- SD-WAN platform costs – implementation and operation
- SD-WAN adoption and vendor ratings
