WHAT:

As enterprises move applications to the cloud, they face an increasingly complex Wide Area Network (WAN) environment. Software-Defined WAN (aka SD-WAN) has emerged as a hot topic, promising to render WANs easier to manage, make them more adaptable and secure, while significantly lowering costs (See Hybrid WAN Benefits). In this debate, experts will define SD-WAN and explain how it will impact enterprises and service providers. Questions on tap for debate include:

 
-- What is SD-WAN? What are its strengths and weaknesses?
-- Will it disrupt the existing WAN market? How? Who will it benefit and why?
-- How will SD-WAN impact service provider offerings and revenues?
