Modernizing the WAN from Client to Cloud

The evolution of WAN architectures has historically paralleled that of application architectures. When we primarily connected terminals to mainframes, the WAN architecture was largely point-to-point links connecting back to data center facilities. As traffic converged to remove OpEx-intensive parallel network structures, the WAN evolved to architectures that enabled site-to-site connectivity in a full mesh or configurable mesh and then enabled multi-tenancy for carrier cost optimization.
