VMware Positioned as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide SD-WAN Infrastructure<\/b><\/p>\n

PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nVMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced that it has been positioned as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SD-WAN Infrastructure 2023 Vendor Assessment (doc #US50471623, September 2023). VMware was previously named a Leader in the 2021 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide SD-WAN Infrastructure vendor assessment.<\/p>\n

VMware\u2019s SD-WAN platform<\/a> was recognized for several strengths including its up-and-coming cloud-based security tools portfolio, management tool integrations, work-from-home services, and integrated network visibility and analytics solutions. The report states, \u201cVMware’s SD-WAN has integrations with a variety of other management tools from VMware, which make VMware’s SD-WAN a strong choice for VMware customers and gives the company significant opportunity to expand its SD-WAN customer base.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019ve evolved VMware SD-WAN to provide enterprises more flexibility and efficiency as they navigate their cloud, hybrid work, and edge journeys,\u201d said Abe Ankumah, vice president and general manager, SD-WAN and SASE, VMware. \u201cWe\u2019re pleased to be named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape report as we believe it\u2019s a testament to our commitment to providing our customers with ubiquitous and reliable connectivity to users and devices everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enhanced Orchestration Capabilities for the Software-Defined Edge<\/b><\/p>\n

\nBuilt with the idea that the cloud is the network, VMware SD-WAN is focused on multi-cloud and SaaS connectivity, hybrid worker connectivity, and edge-native applications. According to the IDC MarketScape, \u201cVMware SD-WAN provides a transport independent overlay that can work across any combination of circuits. It can dynamically optimize traffic over multiple links, enabling secure (encrypted) connectivity to enterprise data centers, public SaaS & IaaS clouds, as well as remote and hybrid workers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nVMware SD-WAN\u2019s new management platform, VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator<\/a> (formerly VMware SASE Orchestrator), provides a cloud-delivered, multi-tenant, multi-tiered, single-pane of glass for network, security, analytics, and AIOps capabilities. In addition to supporting SD-WAN, the management interface also supports VMware\u2019s SASE services (SD-WAN, SD-Access, Secure Access, Cloud Web Security, and Edge Network Intelligence).<\/p>\n

\nAt VMware Explore 2023 Las Vegas, VMware announced<\/a> the new VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator capabilities to help customers plan, deploy, run, visualize, and manage their edge environments in a friction-free manner \u2013 allowing them to run edge-native applications focused on business outcomes. The VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator will deliver holistic edge management by providing a single console to manage edge compute infrastructure, networking, and security. VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator is key enabler of VMware\u2019s software-defined edge \u2013 a distributed digital infrastructure that runs workloads and edge native applications across a number of locations, close to endpoints that are producing and consuming data.<\/p>\n
