Abstract

This market perspective aims to provide a summary of all the different components of SDN technologies and the specifics of SD-WAN solutions adoption in Latin America. This analysis includes the result of an SD-WAN survey in Latin America conducted in May 2019 where local organizations were surveyed to identify key considerations and characteristics of the development of SD-WAN technologies in the region. Examples of local SD-WAN solutions in Latin America are included, as well as recommendations.

"SDN has set the path for WAN innovation, Currently the SD-WAN stage has gained attention and budget, mainly attending to the enterprise initiatives regarding cost reduction. SD-WAN core relies on visibility and analytics capabilities as intelligence from networks allows a better understanding of the enterprise networks and enables better practices from WAN virtualization." "As communication SPs (service providers) are becoming a critical channel for the success of SD-WAN, technology suppliers need to step up to serve the needs of their communication SP partners. To differentiate their offering and ensure adoption by communication SPs vendors should identify special functionalities that providers want to transmit to their clients", says Alberto Arellano, Senior Analyst, Latin America.
