VMware SD-WAN leads the market
VMware SD-WAN recently has been recognized for excellence by analysts, publications, and by our most important “voters”—our customers.
Global analyst firm GigaOm recently named VMware the Leader in the 2023 GigaOm Radar for Software-Defined Wide Area Networks. VMware was rated “exceptional” across a matrix of categories including vendor support for multiple target markets and deployment models, technical capabilities, and how well the SD-WAN product supports customer criteria such as manageability and TCO.
Gartner named VMware as a Leader in the 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SD-WAN. VMware has been recognized as a Leader every year since 2018, consistently recognized for its completeness of vision and ability to execute. This latest recognition marked the fifth year in a row that VMware has been acknowledged as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SD-WAN.
VMware has the #1 SD-WAN market share. (Omdia, “SD-WAN Platform Market Analysis – 2H22,” October 2022)

New VMware SD-WAN Client
VMware SD-WAN has expanded its presence and functions with the new VMware SD-WAN Client. The Client provides enterprise IT with an easy and secure remote access solution for remote workers, boosting productivity by optimizing connections for speed and quality. It provides robust security with connections that are encrypted end-to-end after zero-trust interrogation.
The cloud-managed service sets up in minutes. It can replace pricey, inflexible VPN infrastructure to deliver a high-performance private network fabric between servers, clouds, and remote workers’ desktop or mobile devices and without requiring hardware edges. The Client also connects IoT devices and can be installed on ATMs, retail kiosks, robot arms in factories, gas pumps, and more.
The VMware SD-WAN Client brings the benefits of VMware SD-WAN to remote access: integrated AIOps, single-pane-of-glass management, optimized connectivity, best-in-class security, a superb end-user experience, and more. With a choice to use a software client or a hardware appliance, VMware SD-WAN offers an ideal balance of cost and performance optimization.
