Juniper Moves Its SD-WAN Into the Cloud
Juniper Networks is putting its software-defined WAN solution into the public cloud to make it easier for enterprises to embrace and deploy the technology. Putting its Contrail Service Orchestration platform into the cloud is part of a larger trend in the industry of expanding the management features of SD-WAN beyond the WAN and into areas like the LAN, WiFi network and branch. This evolution was a key part of Aruba Networks’ messaging during its Atmosphere 2019 user conference earlier this month as officials touted the company’s relatively new SD-Branch offering.
