Did you know that there are over 200 SD-WAN providers, with new ones sprouting up each day?

If your business is contemplating the move to Software Defined Networks, there are a few things that you want to check to make sure you’re choosing the right provider:

Application Peering

Make sure the SDWAN providers you’re considering have active peering arrangements with the cloud software services you use, to ensure you have the fastest experience with those apps.

Architecture

Do you want this entirely managed in the cloud or on your premises? Is a hybrid solution right for you?

Features

Will you be using multiple Internet connections? Would you like to actively failover to your backup provider or would you prefer to load balance?

Pricing Structure

Capital or Operational Expense?

Security

Are you happy with your firewall? Do you want a provider that is firewall agnostic or one with firewall security built into the platform?

Equipment Manufacturers

There are strengths and weaknesses to most equipment providers.
