Fortinet Drives Channel Business Opportunities with Secure SD-WANSUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- John Maddison, EVP of products and CMO at Fortinet News Summary Network engineering and operation leaders struggle to facilitate digital innovation initiatives at branch and remote locations due to the limitations of traditional WAN infrastructures. As a result, organizations are turning to Software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) as a preferred solution for replacing legacy WAN infrastructures within distributed organizations. This segment of the enterprise networking market will grow at a 30.8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2018 to 2023 to reach $5.25 billion, according to IDC's SD-WAN Infrastructure Forecast. As the SD-WAN market continues to grow, resellers and MSSPs need a Secure SD-WAN solution that consolidates networking, routing and security infrastructures into one single solution. Fortinet Secure SD-WAN is that solution, helping partners accelerate their customer’s WAN transformation, supporting high-performance digital applications and ensuring seamless security across branch deployments. Through Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN solution and enablement initiatives, partners are able to better capitalize on the SD-WAN market opportunity.
