In Down The Wire’s 7th Episode TNC’s CEO, John Waterhouse, interviews TNC’s CTO, Craig Northveth, on the topic of MPLS vs. SD-WAN vs. SASE. 

Over the last couple of years, we’ve been witnessing a technology revolution in the enterprise network market. The driving force behind this revolution can be tied into factors such as workload shifts to the cloud, demand for enhanced network and application security, virtualised infrastructure, network flexibility, and technology vendor disruption.

However, the pace of these changes mean many organisations are struggling to know how to move forwards to realise the benefits. Is it time to move away from MPLS? Does MPLS retain a role in the future? Is SD-WAN ready for prime time? Is SASE even a realistic, deployable solution yet?

John and Craig discuss the following key points:

  • What are the four transitional phases that define this technology revolution?
  • How might organisations move through these phases, and what will be the key factors driving their progression?
  • What is the strategic outlook looking forwards over the next 2-3 years?

If you have any questions or you’d would like to find out more about how TNC can help you, and your organisation, we would be delighted to talk to you and share our experience and knowledge. Please get in touch using the below contact details.
