There's no question that use cases focused around the infrastructure edge are driving serious innovation in many enterprises. Companies in most industries are moving more of their services to the cloud and supporting a more dispersed set of users and devices. At the same time, private 4G and 5G networks are maturing and delivering wireless connectivity to end users that's powered by a new level of performance. Enterprises are transforming their WANs so they can take advantage of the latest advances in edge computing and data center modernization.
We're already seeing some of the benefits of these game-changing trends across industries, through use cases including:
Exceptional use cases require exceptional connectivity
These use cases showcase a new level of mobile performance, but they also have connectivity requirements that go well beyond Wi-Fi. For example, Industry 4.0 manufacturing application places new demands on:
Bringing it all together
It's clear that private mobile technologies like 4G/5G networks have plenty of potential to drive some exciting business outcomes, but to fully unlock these applications, organizations need to bring together the best of two worlds. VMware SD-WAN ™ provides a WAN optimization layer, along with an optimized application delivery platform. When paired with VMware private mobile network solutions, you can extend these capabilities into the enterprise.
To take advantage of private 4G/5G networks, enterprises not only need to provide wireless connectivity to the end user, but also high performance and guaranteed SLAs at every WAN edge site. Private networks have unique traffic prioritization requirements within the same network slice to meet the SLAs of certain critical use cases. VMware SD-WAN, along with private connectivity solutions, helps you tackle these unique challenges with policy-based application prioritization in the SD-WAN overlay network, utilizing the highly secure underlay cellular 4G/5G private network.
VMware SASE™ brings it all together with a cloud-delivered solution that provides application-quality assurance, intrinsic security, and simplified operations. VMware SASE supports a multi-tenant operations model, enabling you to support the customized SLA guarantees you need for specialized private networking applications. Additionally, it helps you take advantage of a small on-premises footprint that keeps your fixed costs low, with value-added services delivered from a SASE PoP.
