By | Managed Services News

Mar 26

The overall economy is beginning to recover from the impact of COVID-19. And as market growth improves, so do the prospects of selling SD-WAN. But those familiar with the SD-WAN market think adoption will play out differently in different verticals.

The manufacturing vertical, for example, exhibits an interesting polarization. SD-WAN is already widely in use and there is tremendous interest in increasing its usage even more. At the same time, however a sizable number of manufacturers don’t use SD-WAN and — for now, at least — don’t plan to. That’s more than any other vertical. So what’s going on?

In this report you will learn about:

  • Economic and technological trends in the manufacturing industry
  • What makes the vertical an intriguing target for SD-WAN deployment
  • The trends that could inhibit growth
