11 Critical Visualizations for SD-WAN Success

SD-WAN deployments are rapidly becoming a major focus for network operations (NetOps) teams around the world, and changing the face of networking as we know it. In fact, Gartner estimates that nearly two-thirds of all enterprises will have incorporated SD-WAN technology by 2021. One example of the acceleration of this market is Cisco’s recent move to upgrade a million routers with SD-WAN software. Now NetOps teams are tasked to assess the redesign and migration paths from on-premise licensing and configuration management to the Cisco SD-WAN cloud service.

As businesses focus on building new SD-WAN infrastructure like this over the next several years, NetOps teams will need to be able to visualize these new, complex networks and how they impact and relate to legacy IT environments. Here are eleven key visualizations every NetOps team would benefit from to successfully plan, deploy, verify and manage their SD-WAN projects.
