One of the many things we love about the WAN Summit series is our ability to hear from real WAN managers around the world about the challenges they face and the new technology that is strengthening their networks.
We loved writing about lessons learned from these experts in 2018.
Below are several of the most notable summit stories from the year. Click through to revisit these conversations with the WAN professionals helping us keep up with the latest and greatest network developments.
All About Uptime Requirements
There were several drivers behind BorgWarner’s decision to adopt SD-WAN, but perhaps the most important was that they “needed multiple avenues to keep manufacturing sites up and running,” according to Mark Williams, senior information technology manager for the company.
Of all of the areas covered by the WAN Summit, cyber security has got to be one of the hottest topics.
This popular and important subject is being led by a niche core of security experts who are showing us the way.
Lucky for those who were at our September event in Singapore, we had insight from Velocloud’s Brett Waddington, Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP’s Justin Lee, and Centurylink’s Ricky Chau. Led by our own Paul Brodsky, the panel dissected how new technology and workplace culture are changing WAN security requirements.
Full Mesh Capabilities Matter
Consumer products company Henkel converted a portion of its global network, primarily in Asia, to SD-WAN.
What sold them on the switch? SD-WAN’s ability to support full mesh capability and application-based routing were big selling points.
Henkel Network Consultant Markus Feldbruegge joined Thomas Lentz, solution manager for Henkel’s SD-WAN provider Singtel, to dig into the SD-WAN selection and implementation process at our 2018 WAN Summit Frankfurt.
