VMware Named a Leader in 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure
December 04 2019 - 3:00PM
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise
software, today announced it has been recognized as a Leader in the
2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure for the
second consecutive year. Covering 19 vendors in the space, the
report positioned VMware as a Leader highest for the ability to
execute and furthest for completeness of vision.
VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud delivers the most advanced SASE
(Secure Access Services Edge) solution and is architected to be the
SD-WAN platform of the future in cloud and networking software,
while being the SD-WAN solution of the present. The cloud landscape
is evolving rapidly and enterprises seeking to digitally transform
their business need to be ready to embrace a Network of Cloud
Services architecture. More and more services such as security,
analytics and mid mile connectivity are moving to the cloud in
addition to the already ubiquitous IaaS, PaaS and SaaS clouds. Only
a hyper-scalable SD-WAN architecture can extend access to this
Network of Cloud Services to all users with a software defined
footprint.
VMware is also partnering in an industry-leading effort to bring
the combined power of 5G and SD-WAN to businesses worldwide, to
give companies of all sizes unprecedented control and scalability
of their WANs. The VMware SD-WAN solution will act as an overlay in
conjunction with 5G underlays to deliver cost-effective,
high-performance, application-aware services at the network edge
when 5G rollouts become a reality.
“VMware is proud to again be recognized by Gartner as a Leader
in WAN Edge Infrastructure,” said Sanjay Uppal, vice president and
general manager, VeloCloud Business Unit, VMware. “VMware SD-WAN by
VeloCloud was one of the first products to enter this industry, and
now we believe we are leading the industry into the multi-cloud
phase by enabling the network of cloud services, with our advanced
SASE solution and hyperscale SD-WAN architecture.”
VMware’s unique hyperscale SD-WAN architecture is comprised of
thousands of gateways across every major cloud provider, and more
than 100 telecommunication service provider partners around the
world deliver hyperscale SD-WAN to help customers achieve improved
application performance, rapid deployment, network resiliency and
simplified WAN operations at lower costs.
