Verizon: SD-WAN Boosting MPLS Sales

SD-WAN is an option for managing bandwidth for applications where MPLS doesn't make sense but it is in no way replacing MPLS, notes Shawn Hakl, vice president of Network and Security Solutions with Verizon. His company's primary goal is using SD-WAN to offer new options to customers, whether it optimizes performance for specific applications or enables more sophisticated services to be taken down market to smaller businesses.
