Expect network connectivity between clouds to get more complicated.

In 2019 SD-WAN solutions will converge toward a universal archetype.

Service meshes could displace many L4-7 networking functions. But will they?

Express lanes to clouds and internet exchange points will drive the next stage of SD-WAN competition.

The idea that SD-WAN will make MPLS obsolete plays on the frustrations of enterprise IT professionals that are dissatisfied with their current WAN provider and want to kick them

A key driver for SD-WAN is that it can be used to intelligently optimize and secure connections to the cloud.

The SD-WAN architecture is well suited for the cloud because a company can install a WAN CPE but manage the system from the cloud.

Some organizations are starting to use SD-WANs to securely access cloud services over business-class Internet connections.

When it comes to making the business case for software-defined wide area networking), the good news is that the business case is compelling.

SD-WAN adoption is growing quickly as IT organizations become aware of the benefits of this approach to networking.

The former Cisco exec likes the security aspect of Versa's SD-WAN.

Big technology shifts like cloud take at least 10 years. That’s why the shift to the telco cloud, led by NFV, will require at least a decade of patience.

The data center is driving toward a more software-centric security model and security performance in NFV will be key.

IT experts are increasingly looking at securing the cloud using SDN technologies, which add policy awareness and features such as microsegmentation.

With higher traffic demands on the S/Gi-LAN in mobile networks, converged platforms will help reduce the costs of processing IP traffic.

The combination of new network hardware acceleration techniques and SDN is driving a new era of networking.

Virtualization of the S/Gi-LAN in mobile networks through the use of converged platforms can improve security.

With higher traffic demands on the SGi/Gi-LAN in mobile networks, the move towards converged platforms enables increased efficiency in processing IP traffic.

The Docker platform for Linux containers is growing fast -- but what does it mean for the ecosystem?

With users citing container networking technology as a challenge, it opens the door for virtualization overlay technology to help.

Huawei is gaining share in the global technology market and beginning to use open source as a strategic weapon.

MWC 2016 should provide some guideposts to where NFV might go in 2016.

Prediction: Eventually, they will.

Service providers are starting to embrace container technology to deliver more dynamic, distributed applications
