Expert Opinion: From Grassroots to the Cloud – Is there a Solution?
by Mike Wood, VP of Marketing
DataCentre News, October 10, 2017
SD–WAN (Software-Defined Wide-Area Networks) applies SDN principles to the practical realities of the Wide Area Network – such as minimising delays over long distances between nodes, and providing predictable service quality over less predictable links.
Where Should Security Live?
by Mike Wood, VP of Marketing
SecurityNow, October 6, 2017
The answer now is that cloud security is extremely good, and can be entrusted with the bulk of everyday applications and data. The simple question "Why should we not put this on the cloud?" will identify a smaller number of critical exceptions where security is best entrusted to the private data center. And between the two extremes there is no longer a dangerous gap, but the growing opportunity to install an SD-WAN to bring cloud security to the very edge of the organization.
Secure SD-WAN – How Does That Work?
by Mike Wood, VP of Marketing
Connect-World, October 4, 2017
A Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN), in a nutshell, can be thought of as an overlay architecture that connects enterprise on-premises data centers, Infrastruc- ture-as-a-Service (such as those hosted by Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure), cloud services (such as Software-as-a-Service) and remote locations and branch offices.

Outcome Driven Networking
by Mike Wood, VP of Marketing
Network Computing, September/October, 2017
Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) is disruptive and a business enabler. It is already transforming traditional networks such as MPLS and public Internet into cloud and on-premise application, resource and service delivery powerhouses. Enterprises are shifting their focus from the limitations of private data centres and legacy network infrastructure that have been complicated and expensive to implement, deploy, manage, and maintain, to the limitless capabilities of SD-WAN - the solution of choice to take full advantage of the benefits offered by the cloud and Internet.
Top Requirements on the SD-WAN Security Checklist
by Mike Wood, VP of Marketing
Network Security, July, 2017
Any significant network upgrade presents a challenge for CIOs and CISOs. So much can go wrong – from delays due to transition downtime and user retraining, to potential loss of data. But often, the single biggest concern will be security. This is especially true when contemplating a fundamental change in networking architecture, such as a migration to software-defined networking (SDN).
SD-WAN – Symbiosis Without Compromise
by Mike Wood, VP of Marketing
Cloud Expo Journal, June 15, 2017
The optimal solution for IoT implementations is cloud-delivered SD-WAN, which provides the performance, bandwidth, security and quality to support large volumes of traffic going to the cloud, to the local data center, and machine to machine for storage, control and analytics.

Building a Secure SD-WAN Architecture
by Steve Woo, Co-founder
The Stack, May 25, 2017
Security is often the single biggest concern that CIOs and CISOs have when they are contemplating a new networking architecture. They want to be sure that moving from a traditional WAN architecture to one that is software-defined (SD-WAN) improves security, especially in an environment where they need the business agility to get remote sites up and running quickly.
Moving Towards an SD-WAN API
by Steve Woo, Co-founder
ONUG, April 27, 2017
SD-WAN is the application of SDN principles to the WAN. SDN provided for the separation of the control plane from the data plane, with an open API between these two elements. There was strong focus on enabling the programmable control to come from a different solution than the provider of the data plane forwarding elements. Therefore initial expectations of an SD-WAN API might be for the same functionality. However, just as the architectural principles have morphed to meet the requirements and realities of the WAN, so must the focus of the APIs.
