*NEW RESEARCH* SD-WAN: UK Market Update 2020

Our latest report tracking the enterprise connectivity market - SD-WAN: UK Market Update 2020 - provides a snapshot of recent UK customer deployments of software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solutions. It discusses how suppliers and service providers are shifting focus away from improved bandwidth and cost savings on existing connectivity contracts towards secure, reliable access to cloud-hosted applications and services from distributed locations as a way to broaden the potential customer base.

Whereas SD-WAN was very much at the early adopter stage only a couple of years ago (see SD-WAN Builds New Service Models for Network Providers), there has been considerable growth in supplier provision, customer interest and deployment activity in the UK and elsewhere since then. In some cases the technology is also a neat fit for employees working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, though supply chain constraints could hamper some providers’ ability to meet any transitory surge in demand.
