The Discussion
The podcast starts out discussing centralized versus distributed vCPE and SD-WAN. Centralized being where you bring all of your functions into the cloud and the edge of the network become simple, meaningless devices that connect the user or branch back into the cloud. A distributed vCPE model is where you virtualize the functions, but keep them at the edge of the network and running on them on commodity hardware. We then continue the conversation discussing the vCPE business model and market, and how open standards have had an effect on influencing how the decisions for vCPE/SD-WAN are made. Vanessa and Mark talk about what enterprises are focused on in this business versus what the service providers are looking to do, namely sell this service to the enterprises. Is it about cost savings, adding services, or something else?

Just have a listen and hear what the experts are saying about vCPE and SD-WAN!
