19 September 2018
Espoo, Finland - Nokia is introducing the latest release of
the Nuage Networks Virtualized Network Services (VNS)
platform, offering the most powerful and secure end-to-end network
governance across a multi-cloud environment, with complete
visibility and control from a single management interface. Nuage
Networks VNS is the industry's first and only SD-WAN 2.0 offering
that is more than a network connectivity platform, providing a
services architecture to deliver and orchestrate enterprise IT
services across data centers, public cloud services, SaaS provider
clouds and enterprise branch sites.
Enterprise IT departments have embraced the concept of SD-WAN,
with leading telecommunications research firm IDC forecasting the
worldwide market for SD-WAN infrastructure will record a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.4% from 833 million in 2017 to more
than 4.5 billion in 2022. IDC expects the market will expand by
about 58% in 2018 to be worth more than $1.3 billion.[1]
First-generation SD-WAN solutions have been limited in scope to
automating and managing connectivity of branch offices, which are
underserved by IP-VPN services. However, as more enterprises
migrate their business applications to the cloud, they must provide
seamless WAN connectivity. This includes connectivity not only
between customer premises equipment at branch and regional sites,
but also to their private data centers, SaaS providers and public
clouds - all within a unified security and governance model.
Moreover, there is demand from enterprise customers to leverage
this services platform to deploy and manage Value Added Services
including VoIP, Next-Generation Firewall, IoT, and WiFi Access.
Nuage Networks VNS is the only SD-WAN 2.0 offer in the industry
that is purpose-built to solve these new enterprise IT challenges
with a seamless, automated and unified next generation solution.
Nuage Networks SD-WAN 2.0 opens up a new dynamic in networking by
providing services with flexible multi-cloud capabilities, the
industry's most robust, built-in end-to-end security and a
versatile architecture to deliver value-added services anywhere.
These capabilities provide an immediate reduction in operational
expenses and cost, superior agility, operational consistency across
a multi-cloud environment and the ability to offer a diverse set of
applications and services that can be consumed at the branch and/or
the cloud. Longer term, the platform enables enterprises to
future-proof their networks, addressing not only today's IT
challenges, but also quickly adapting to their future needs.
Nuage Networks is continuing its strong push in the next
generation SD-WAN market with recent contracts with service
providers and enterprises from around the world including Banco
Multiva, Cogeco Peer1, Credit Andorra, Etisalat, Equal, Globe
Telecom, NTT Com India, Orange X, Telefonica, UPMC, and Vertel, in
addition to over 50 service providers world-wide that have selected
Nuage Networks VNS for their managed SD-WAN offering. With over 400
enterprise customers, Nuage Networks VNS is increasingly the
choice of global carriers and enterprises looking to automate,
secure and optimize their IT processes as well as their WAN,
datacenter and public cloud networks.
Patrick Farges, sales & marketing leader at Orange X,
said: "The flexibility and high-level of automation provided to
us by this SD-WAN 2.0 platform from Nuage Networks has unlocked new
business opportunities and enabled us to rapidly launch new and
highly differentiated network and security services. Working
closely with Nuage Networks has helped us to adapt this advanced
platform for the SME market."
Michel Bouffier, CIO at Banco Multiva (Grupo Financiero
Multiva), said: "Along with end-to-end governance and security
for our customers, we welcome the versatility of this SD-WAN 2.0
platform which allows us to not only support a hybrid environment
in our datacenters, but also extends to our nationwide branch
network. This provides us with crucial end-to-end
policy-based network automation and security, giving us full
visibility on the connectivity conditions of our branches in order
to procure an outstanding customer service."
Cliff Grossner, Ph.D., senior research director and advisor,
cloud and data center research practice of IHS Markit, a global
business information provider, said: "The adoption of SD-WAN by
enterprise grows rapidly, driven by the desire to connect branch
locations and on-premises data centers with workloads placed in
cloud service provider data centers and SaaS services. Effectively,
enterprises are creating a Multi-cloud ecosystem. Ensuring a
high-quality user experience with applications distributed across
the multi-cloud makes secure, high-performance adaptive
connectivity an imperative. For 2017, the revenue to cloud service
providers was over $160 billion, with revenue over $375 billion
forecast for 2022. 2017 revenue for SD-WAN vendors was $475
million, and is expected to hit 3.6 billion in 2022, signaling a
strong need for secure multi-cloud connectivity. Nuage Networks
SD-WAN 2.0 focus on providing a secure virtual networking fabric
for the multi-cloud answers an important market requirement."
Brad Casemore, Research VP, IDC, said: "Network
challenges are coming to the fore as organizations worldwide
embrace multi-cloud as a means of achieving digital-transformation
objectives. Indeed, IDC finds that enterprises are thinking more
comprehensively and holistically about how their networks will
support the full spectrum of multi-cloud - from on-premises
datacenters to IaaS and Saas public clouds and out to the branch
offices and remote locations that constitute the intelligent edge.
With its latest release of the Virtualized Services Platform (VSP)
and its vision for SD-WAN 2.0, Nuage Networks addresses the need
for secure networking across the multi-cloud landscape."
Sunil Khandekar, founder and CEO of Nuage Networks, said:
"The industry is on the cusp of a big shift towards SD-WAN. Today,
Nuage solidifies its SD-WAN 2.0 leadership, adding key features to
improve the security and manageability of VNS, and further
reinforces our founding vision to connect enterprise users to their
applications without boundaries. Unlike other vendors that either
have basic connectivity solutions, use proprietary hardware or need
to cobble together multiple platforms to address enterprise IT
needs, we purposefully developed our VNS offer on a single platform
to give our customers a powerful, seamless and consistent set of
capabilities across the entire network. By offering IT services
over SD-WAN and combining them with Nuage's core strengths in large
scale networking and operational capabilities, Nuage Networks VNS
establishes itself as the industry's first and foremost SD-WAN 2.0
platform."
About Nuage SD-WAN 2.0Nuage Networks SD-WAN 2.0 addresses
the modern enterprise network's need to connect users to
applications in a secure, programmable, automated and
transport-agnostic manner. It's the only SD-WAN platform in the
industry to offer true end-to-end policy and data plane controls
extending from users in branches to workloads in public or private
clouds, as well as SaaS.
Beyond point security functions, Nuage Networks SD-WAN also
offers the industry's most comprehensive security across the entire
network with the ability to not only offer end-to-end
microsegmentation, but also detect threats and respond in
real-time. This unique functionality protects against malicious
unauthorized access, monitors all network communication across and
within a branch to identify anomalies and violations of policies,
generates automated actions by creating security rules in real-time
based on real-time events and patterns.
To address the massive migration to virtualizing peripheral
applications (e.g. VoIP gateways, IoT agents, and Wireless LAN
controllers) through the deployment of third-party virtual network
functions (VNFs), Nuage Networks SD-WAN 2.0 provides enterprises
flexible infrastructure to deploy value added services, whether
locally through hosting 3rd party VNFs on an x86 uCPE or
service-chained in the datacenter or cloud, ending the complexity
of installing and remotely managing dedicated purpose-built
customer premises equipment or single-function appliances.
