Here's a brief excerpt from the study
„Key drivers for SD-WAN adoption include network transformation, upgrade of legacy MPLS networks, higher-bandwidth demands, enhanced application availability, and cloud adoption.“ Further insights: „Most enterprises opt for a fully managed service although co-managed services, where customers and service providers agree and share management responsibilities, have been increasing in popularity in recent years.“
According to the IDC MarketScape, Deutsche Telekom can provide a complete end-to-end solution including underlay, SD-WAN overlay, and related security up to full-stack SASE. Alternatively, customers can bring their own access and manage it themselves or have Deutsche Telekom novate their contract. Deutsche Telekom also offers its SAFE methodology that provides recommendations on underlay networks that meet the requirements of the customer solution and help optimize performance and/or cost.“
Moreover, the IDC MarketScape points out that Deutsche Telekom offers single-vendor and multivendor solutions across SD-WAN and SASE. Main SD-WAN partners include Juniper, Fortinet, Cisco Meraki, Aruba, and LANCOM, with Zscaler and Palo Alto for security and SASE.
