"Operators should develop tailored solutions for SMEs that deliver the key benefits of SD-WAN in a simple manner."
Many operators initally targeted their SD-WAN deployments at large, distributed enterprises. However, smaller businesses also benefit from SD-WAN, and demand from this segment is growing. Operators must adapt their solutions and marketing to avoid losing out to alternative suppliers in this segment.
This report discusses the opportunity for operators to use SD-WAN to meet demand from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for improved business continuity, applications and network performance.
