The Latin American managed software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) services market is in the nascent phase of the product life cycle, but in the last two years enterprise decision makers in the region have equipped themselves with a much better understanding of the benefits that SD-WAN brings to enterprise WANs. SD-WAN is attracting the attention of enterprises eager to leverage the business benefits the technology offers; for example, faster deployment of branch sites, cost savings from using private and public networks, optimized cloud connectivity, and application-aware routing. The Frost & Sullivan 2021 SD-WAN survey validates SD-WAN adoption trends across industries and how IT decision-makers in Latin America value reduced times of deployment and centralized policy administration & network management when deploying SD-WAN. This report provides a detailed analysis of the 2021 SD-WAN survey results, evaluating the benefits enterprises achieve from SD-WAN deployment, the trends on replacing existing network equipment, enterprises’ preferred VNFs, and the criteria IT decision-makers use in selecting a SD-WAN solution.
