VMware Once Again Positioned as a Leader in
SD-WAN for Fifth Consecutive Year
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced it has been positioned
by Gartner, Inc. as a Leader in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for
SD-WAN. Gartner recognized VMware for its ability to execute and
completeness of vision. Previously known as the Gartner Magic
Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure, this year’s report marks the
fifth consecutive year that Gartner has recognized VMware as a
Leader in SD-WAN.
Architected with the idea that the cloud is the network, VMware
SD-WAN provides unparalleled reliability and simplicity in securely
connecting users from the branch or home to cloud, SaaS, or
traditional applications. These benefits stem in part from VMware
and its partners investment in more than 150 points of presence
worldwide that have high-speed, low-latency connections to major
cloud and SaaS providers.
“VMware is honored to be recognized again by Gartner as a Leader
in SD-WAN,” said Craig Conners, general manager, SASE, VMware. “We
feel our extensive deployments of more than 600,000 branches across
18,000 customers have given us the ability to continually adapt to
the evolving needs of SD-WAN customers. The unique insights gleaned
from what enterprises need near- and long-term are a big reason
why, we believe, we continue to be a leader in SD-WAN.”
VMware SD-WAN is a part of VMware SASE. By delivering cloud
networking and cloud security services with VMware SASE, customers
can achieve:
- With a cloud-first approach, VMware SD-WAN delivers a
more secure, reliable, and optimal path to SaaS and IaaS providers
via a unique global network of cloud-hosted gateways, allowing
customers to simplify their path to cloud transformation. VMware
provides customers and partners the option to host gateways
themselves as well to take advantage of their own SaaS and IaaS
on-ramps in a more efficient way than other SD-WAN providers.
- Broad security options including an ICSA-certified
branch firewall, third-party security workloads, and configurable
business policies that direct traffic to the cloud or data center
for better protection against attacks at all levels. Additionally,
VMware provides Security Service Edge (SSE) capabilities to help
customers better secure access to all web and cloud services as
well as locally hosted applications.
- Assured application performance with user access and an
optimized experience for mission-critical apps, even during
degraded network conditions.
- Simplified operations that include cloud-based gateways
and an orchestration platform to eliminate the management overhead
normally required to maintain these components. Additionally,
VMware Edge Network Intelligence provides true visibility and
analytics into networks, end user and IoT devices. AIOps
capabilities combine machine learning, AI, big data, and
self-healing technologies to help network operations teams further
simplify IT management.
