BIOS Middle East, provider of cloud and managed IT services for enterprises, announced that it will offer VMware’s SD-WAN to customers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
BIOS said it would be the first cloud provider to launch VMware SD-WAN in these countries.
VMware SD-WAN claims to deliver high performance and reliable access from branches or work-from-anywhere locations to cloud services, private data centers and SaaS-based enterprise applications in a cost-effective manner.
It simplifies branch wide area networking by automating deployment and improving performance over private, broadband Internet, and LTE links for today’s distributed enterprises. VMware SD-WAN is a foundational component of VMware Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform, which converges network services with cloud security and Zero Trust network access to deliver flexibility, agility and scalability for enterprises of all sizes.
The global market for SD-WAN is valued at US$1.6 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach US$25.5 billion by 2027, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48% over the period 2020-2027, according to the ‘SD-WAN – Global Market Trajectory & Analytics’ report published by Research and Markets.
Enterprises are becoming more mobile and seek innovative ways to circumvent the challenges posed by rapid digital transformation, growing number of cloud-based applications, increased adoption of Internet of Things solutions, diverse network technologies and branch complexities.
