SD-WAN in Context of WebRTC

SD-WAN in Context of WebRTC

The promise of SD-WAN (Software Defined WAN) is reliable high quality enterprise WAN using low cost access (e.g. broadband) instead of expensive MPLS. SD-WAN is a collection of several technologies with centralized management on top.Given quality of WebRTC sessions and usage of error resilient codecs, does SD-WAN bring any value to WebRTC?

The Alphabet Soup of MPLS vs. DIA vs. SD-WAN

The Alphabet Soup of MPLS vs. DIA vs. SD-WAN

MPLS and DIA are built for the past and don’t support cost and technical requirements of the modern enterprise. SD-WAN will be like the Firewall is today for enterprises. It will become common among enterprises. It doesn’t mean MPLS will go away, but with the capability of Hybrid WAN as part of SD-WAN, MPLS will become less critical, less traffic will go over it,

OTTs Combining WebRTC with SD-WAN – a New Headache for Operators

OTTs Combining WebRTC with SD-WAN – a New Headache for Operators

SD-WAN strengthens the position of OTT hosted UC providers vs. the incumbent operators as it makes the operators’ advantage of owning the network less valuable. SD-WAN reduced the operational cost associated with providing hosted UC in high quality as it removes the need for MPLS. Combined with WebRTC, adding real-time communications as a feature to existing SaaS applications has never been easier.

3 Strategies for SD-WAN

3 Strategies for SD-WAN

MPLS is still pretty commonly used by enterprises, some use it for specific applications while others take it to the extreme and route all traffic of their branches to s central location. Service providers hit a jackpot with MPLS but this is now changing. 2 major forces are making MPLS less lucrative and eventually will kill it: MPLS price is going down; Enterprise requirements have changed

The Drift from Closed Services to PaaS Continues

Unify announced the availability of APIs for their Circuit collaboration platform opening it for the general public of developers. This is not the first time we see closed WebRTC based collaboration platforms in the cloud open up for developers. What drives companies to make this kind of shift and does it pay off? UC vendors need to reinvent themselves, abandon the term UC

WebRTC in the Financial Sector – An Interview with Leo Papadopoulos from Cloud9 Technologies

WebRTC is perceived by many as a technology that allows for in-browser, zero download, voice and video communication. While this is true, it is also an open source media engine that can be used in different ways. Cloud9 Technologies uses WebRTC with a twist. This is because of 2 reasons: their application and the market in which they operate.

WebRTC API Platform Vendors: Not Many of You Will Be Around for Long

I already wrote there is no value in plain vanilla communication services. Why, because you can get them from the big guys for free – Google Hangouts, Skype, Facebook, WhatsApp… If you are a newcomer launching such a service, put it in context, serve a well-defined community or you will not survive. Does this rule apply also for API platforms?

WebRTC Based UC for Service Providers – An Interview with Elena Carstoiu from 4PSA

The announcement of 4PSA back in April caught my attention because of 2 things: 1) A small vendor competing with the large ones in the crowded space of UC for service providers where many other small vendors failed. I was interested to learn about their special twist. 2) The mix of interesting ingredients: WebRTC, Big Data, search and analytics. I just had to know more.

If I Hear of Another New “Cool” WebRTC Talking Heads Service I’m Going to Scream

There is no value in plain vanilla communication services. Once in a while we see a post on the WebRTC social groups calling us to check out a great new cool WebRTC video calling service. Many of these are just WebRTC talking heads. Big disappointment. Let’s be clear. If all you are launching is yet another WebRTC based calling service it is a waste of your time and squander of your investor’s money
