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.

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

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.

WebRTC Helping In-App Purchase Monetization

There are more than 2 million apps users can choose from for their iOS devices out of which 23% are gaming apps.

What’s Wrong With Microsoft’s WebRTC Announcement

Companies such as Microsoft are shifting their revenue mix to services. In such a business model, opening the service to developers to integrate with is a power multiplier, not in R&D resources but in creativity and innovation. That is a paradigm shift from POBX vendors closing their system for their phones only to making it as open as possible.
