Cloud Computing is making service centralization easier and much more cost effective in the Enterprise. This results in growing demand for scalable, reliable and inexpensive WAN access to deliver new WAN-based services. However the cost of private WAN services like MPLS remain stubbornly high and continued telecom service provider investment in Internet-based wired and wireless (4G) consumer-targeted WANs is delivering as much as a 100x price performance benefit for Internet-based connectivity. In addition, co-location facilities are becoming the lowest cost place to locate server/services and provide diverse low cost bandwidth. WAN virtualization allows IT business leaders to use these higher bandwidth but lower cost WAN services in their enterprise reliably.
