We've crunched the numbers from our survey of WAN managers in 2021 and our new analysis is ready and waiting.
What'd we find?
To start, the extended effects of COVID-related remote work have accelerated WAN trends like migration to the cloud, SD-WAN adoption, and incorporating alternative access technologies into the underlay.
Network managers at large multinational corporations are now faced with accommodating a remote-friendly, bring-your-own-device, work-from-anywhere environment. Many will likely be rethinking their network architecture in the coming years, moving closer to internet-first networks and further away from MPLS.
Greg welcomes TeleGeography Senior Analyst Elizabeth Thorne back to the pod to break it all down.
