SD-WAN and NFV: beyond the hype

SD-WAN and Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) are two technologies that are on every business’s radar right now.

SD-WAN can help to take away a lot of the complexity you’d find in a traditional network from a routing and configuration perspective. NFV can promise to cut the IT clutter from your business. Both of these technologies offer great advantages, but if you’re considering them, the question is, are you doing it because you want to jump on an industry trend, or have you truly considered the business benefits for your organisation?
