Nuage Networks from Nokia is a market leader in the SD-WAN industry (friendly reminder: that’s software-defined wide area networks). Initially offering end-to-end network automation as enterprises sought enhanced branch connectivity, Nuage is now the forerunner in the industry’s inevitable turn to cloud computing. The public cloud continues to proliferate (forecast to double in value to US$569 billion by 2024); SD-WAN businesses are heightening their focus on cloud enhancement, automation, and security.
