SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 15, 2017) - CloudGenix, the software-defined wide-area (SD-WAN) network leader, today announced it has been selected as an IDC Innovator in the IDC Innovators: SD-WAN, 2017 Report in recognition of its innovative technologies and ground-breaking business models in SD-WAN.

According to the report, "traditional WANs are complex to manage and do not support DX-level business agility as legacy WANs often are characterized by backhaul inefficiencies that compromise application performance, business agility, and employee productivity... SD-WAN has emerged as the solution for enterprises increasingly dependent on the cloud and on requiring "anytime, anywhere" application access."
"We chose CloudGenix as an IDC Innovator for the simplicity and differentiation around its application-defined approach. CloudGenix has sought to address customer challenges such as implementing a hybrid WAN, improving Cloud-based application performance, creating a dynamic security perimeter, and rolling out an SD-WAN for operational efficiencies and cost savings," said Rohit Mehra, vice president, network infrastructure at IDC. "To that end, it has developed an SD-WAN offering that eliminates routing complexity, instead featuring an application-defined fabric that allows policies to control and govern application delivery across a hybrid WAN."
CloudGenix Instant-On Networks (ION) provides an application-defined architecture that enables network managers to set up policies to control application delivery across a hybrid WAN, reducing network configurations by 90 percent. Customers can monitor network performance by establishing app-SLAs that govern application performance, security, and compliance for application delivery. Enterprises achieve greater visibility into their network performance and attain intelligent traffic engineering for cloud and SaaS applications while reducing WAN costs by 50 to 70 percent.
"Traditional WAN technologies are becoming obsolete because they are not able to meet the demands of modern businesses. Legacy solutions lack flexibility and require complex routing protocols, resulting in costly inefficiencies that negatively impact business agility and productivity," said CloudGenix CEO, Kumar Ramachandran. "As the first and only vendor offering an application-defined SD-WAN solution, this recognition further validates that our approach empowers customers with a simplified, cloud-first network that saves time and money."
