Although it has gained significant traction in the consumer space, IoT is still in the early stages of adoption in enterprises environments. However, many companies are working on initiatives like Industry 4.0 that includes IoT as one of the key disruptive technologies expected to reshape businesses of tomorrow. The key challenges will be availability, robustness and reliability of networks that connect devices in a business environment. Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is expected to play a key role in overcoming these challenges.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Mike Wood, vice president for VeloCloud Networks, discussed how SD-WAN can offer a simple, agile, cost-effective approach for enterprise IoT networks.
