- Canada's TELUS launches its new Network as a Service (NaaS)
based on Nuage Networks SD-WAN solution
- Partnership underscores and reinforces Nuage Networks as a
leader in providing best-in-class SD-WAN solutions to help service

companies worldwide will use SD-WAN by end of 2017, with global
market value seen growing to $6 billion in 2020
Mountain View, California - Nuage Networks, the Nokia venture
focused on software-defined networks (SDN), is continuing its
strong push in the software-defined wide area network
(SD-WAN) market thanks to recent contracts with several of
the world's largest service providers including BT, China Telecom,
Telefonica, and Telia. Today, TELUS announced that it has
joined forces with Nuage Networks to launch TELUS Network as a
Service (NaaS), an innovative new SD-WAN solution that
enables businesses to virtually build, manage and cloud-optimize
their networks quickly, easily and costeffectively through a
flexible self-serve platform.
Nuage Networks SD-WAN solution, Virtualized Network Services
(VNS), is increasingly the choice of global carriers and
enterprises looking to automate and optimize their WAN environments
and IT processes. Nuage Networks SD-WAN reduces costs, increases
business agility and provides the massive scalability needed to
meet cloud-driven requirements and surging data-driven demand.
SD-WAN exploded onto the enterprise space just over a year ago,
and has grown quickly due to the tangible returns gained by relying
on software to automate IT, optimize network traffic, accelerate
VPN deployments and reduce WAN overhead. According to market
research firm IDC, by the end of 2017 about 70 percent of
enterprise customers responding to a global survey said that they
will have evaluated or deployed SD-WAN. In addition, over 40
percent of enterprise respondents to a recent IDC survey indicated
that they plan to implement integrated SD-WAN solutions obtained
from communications service providers. Overall, IDC estimates that
the SD-WAN products and services market will be worth more than
US$6 billion in 2020, up from about $575 million in 2016. [1]
Brad Casemore, research director of datacenter networks at
IDC, said: "The cloud is a critical enabler of business agility
and digital transformation, and enterprise IT teams are quickly
recognizing their WAN services and architectures also require
significant transformation. Many of these enterprise customers are
looking to their service providers to deliver SD-WAN solutions that
can confer benefits such as cost-effective, feature-rich, secure
application delivery and operational savings at branch offices and
other remote sites. Nuage Networks, in conjunction with its growing
roster of service-provider partners, is responding to this
enterprise demand, which IDC believes will remain robust for the
next several years."
Sunil Khandekar, Nuage Networks CEO and founder, said:
"Nuage Networks has become a leader in helping service providers
deliver fully automated and self-service SD-WAN solutions to
enterprise customers who are looking to connect their users quickly
and securely to applications in private and public clouds. Our
platform is present in the world's largest carrier-grade networks
and is being deployed as a complete overlay that can serve as a
natural extension of customers' existing L2 and L3 MPLS VPN and
other WAN service offerings to remote sites. We are the only vendor
that offers a single SDN automation platform for the datacenter,
WAN and public cloud - providing operational simplification,
agility and significant cost savings across the multiple
cloud-based services currently offered by these providers."
Deployments by carriers around the world of the Nuage Networks
SD-WAN solution substantiate IDC's research. Customers are
selecting the solution over competitive offerings because it
can:
- Automate end-to-end enterprise service delivery between
datacenters and branch offices while offering seamless connections
to public cloud services.
- Enable more value-added services by deploying third-party
Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) at enterprise branch locations on
top of open, virtualized "branch-in-the box" platforms.
- Complement with a powerful network analytics and performance
monitoring solution (Virtualized Service Assurance Platform, or
VSAP) and software-defined security (Virtualized Security Services,
or VSS) that provides industry-leading insight and remediation
capabilities.
Service providers also cite Nuage Networks and Nokia's strong
reputation, ability to offer global support and world-class
integration services as key differentiators against
competitors.
