21. Appendix

22. IN 2021, the global SD-WAN market is expected to reach $7.53 BILLION
TODAY’S BUSINESSES
RUN ON CONNECTED RESOURCES
IT functions, business workloads and apps reside in the cloud
Customers, employees and partners rely on apps built for the internet
Social media, streaming video and music, mobility, the Internet of Things are re-shaping the enterprise
Bandwidth demands continue to skyrocket, while IT budgets remain flat
Legacy WANs are expensive, complex and unable to support this new digital economy
NOTE TO PRESENTER: Use this slide if you think you need to set up the need with your audience.
SD-WAN is a fairly nascent market with many changes. Cloud applications, data center and networking solutions are consuming a large portion of the IT budget. Adding bandwidth intensive applications necessitates the virtualization of the network to innovate and move faster.  SD-WAN is a nascent technology, hence the lower revenue number, but is expected to continue to rise as companies continue to seek software defined networks rather than hardware defined networks.  Many companies are already adopting this new virtualized service at various stages of implementation. The question is not “if”, but “when and how” companies will adopt SDN and SD-WAN. 
THROUGH 2021, more than half of the total IT services spending increase of $200 BILLION WILL BE FOR DIGITAL-RELATED SERVICES
BY 2021, MORE THAN
$150 BILLION in annual IT services spending WILL SHIFT TO CLOUD AND CLOUD-RELATED CATEGORIES
IN 2021, the global SD-WAN market is expected to reach $7.53 BILLION
