Press Release
19 July 2017
* Canada's TELUS launches its new Network as a Service (NaaS) based on Nuage
Networks SD-WAN solution
* Partnership underscores and reinforces Nuage Networks as a leader in
providing best-in-class SD-WAN solutions to help service providers transform
their managed services portfolios
* Leading market intelligence firm estimates nearly 70 percent of companies
worldwide will use SD-WAN by end of 2017, with global market value seen
growing to $6 billion in 2020
Mountain View, California - Nuage Networks, the Nokia venture focused on
software-defined networks (SDN), is continuing its strong push in the software-
defined wide area network (SD-WAN) market thanks to recent contracts with
several of the world's largest service providers including BT, China Telecom,
Telefonica, and Telia. Today, TELUS announced that it has joined forces with
Nuage Networks to launch TELUS Network as a Service (NaaS), an innovative new
SD-WAN solution that enables businesses to virtually build, manage and cloud-
optimize their networks quickly, easily and costeffectively through a flexible
self-serve platform.
Nuage Networks SD-WAN solution, Virtualized Network Services (VNS), is
increasingly the choice of global carriers and enterprises looking to automate
and optimize their WAN environments and IT processes. Nuage Networks SD-WAN
reduces costs, increases business agility and provides the massive scalability
needed to meet cloud-driven requirements and surging data-driven demand.
SD-WAN exploded onto the enterprise space just over a year ago, and has grown
quickly due to the tangible returns gained by relying on software to automate
IT, optimize network traffic, accelerate VPN deployments and reduce WAN
overhead. According to market research firm IDC, by the end of 2017 about 70
percent of enterprise customers responding to a global survey said that they
will have evaluated or deployed SD-WAN. In addition, over 40 percent of
enterprise respondents to a recent IDC survey indicated that they plan to
implement integrated SD-WAN solutions obtained from communications service
providers. Overall, IDC estimates that the SD-WAN products and services market
will be worth more than US$6 billion in 2020, up from about $575 million in
2016. [1]
Brad Casemore, research director of datacenter networks at IDC, said: "The cloud
is a critical enabler of business agility and digital transformation, and
enterprise IT teams are quickly recognizing their WAN services and architectures
also require significant transformation. Many of these enterprise customers are
looking to their service providers to deliver SD-WAN solutions that can confer
benefits such as cost-effective, feature-rich, secure application delivery and
operational savings at branch offices and other remote sites. Nuage Networks, in
conjunction with its growing roster of service-provider partners, is responding
to this enterprise demand, which IDC believes will remain robust for the next
several years."
Sunil Khandekar, Nuage Networks CEO and founder, said: "Nuage Networks has
become a leader in helping service providers deliver fully automated and self-
service SD-WAN solutions to enterprise customers who are looking to connect
their users quickly and securely to applications in private and public clouds.
Our platform is present in the world's largest carrier-grade networks and is
being deployed as a complete overlay that can serve as a natural extension of
customers' existing L2 and L3 MPLS VPN and other WAN service offerings to remote
sites. We are the only vendor that offers a single SDN automation platform for
the datacenter, WAN and public cloud - providing operational simplification,
agility and significant cost savings across the multiple cloud-based services
currently offered by these providers."
Deployments by carriers around the world of the Nuage Networks SD-WAN solution
substantiate IDC's research. Customers are selecting the solution over
competitive offerings because it can:
* Automate end-to-end enterprise service delivery between datacenters and
branch offices while offering seamless connections to public cloud services.
* Enable more value-added services by deploying third-party Virtual Network
Functions (VNFs) at enterprise branch locations on top of open, virtualized
"branch-in-the box" platforms.
* Complement with a powerful network analytics and performance monitoring
solution (Virtualized Service Assurance Platform, or VSAP) and software-
defined security (Virtualized Security Services, or VSS) that provides
industry-leading insight and remediation capabilities.
Service providers also cite Nuage Networks and Nokia's strong reputation,
ability to offer global support and world-class integration services as key
differentiators against competitors.
