How is the cloud changing businesses' WAN needs, and helping to promote newer technologies, like SD-WAN?

Schubert: Most traffic isn't intra-company anymore. A lot [of traffic] is cloud-based and people are consuming a lot of resources in the cloud. SD-WAN enables us to increase performance by allowing [SD-WAN startups] like VeloCloud and other players to essentially put their equipment in the data center where Amazon or Microsoft [services] live, and then we can orchestrate our company traffic at a level high enough to have the intelligence to prioritize and reduce latency on applications we are consuming in the cloud.
