Secure SD-WAN solutions help organizations in a complex, distributed environment provide optimal user experiences and greater visibility, regardless of access location

SAN ANTONIO, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Secure software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) global demand increases as organizations strive to meet security concerns and improve the employee experience. Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis finds that the global secure SD-WAN solutions market is expected to reach $6.52 billion by 2026 from $1.67 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.3%.

As an effective solution, secure SD-WAN natively integrates the networking and security functions with simplified deployment and management. A wide area network allows devices to communicate and share information with other locations around the world. SD technology turns the control plane of these networks into software that can be managed from a centralized location. Secure SD-WAN includes a next-generation firewall; however, customers can use the broader security capabilities offered under these solutions.

“Organizations’ IT environments are becoming more complex with the expanding network traffic across on-premises, public cloud, and branch locations,” said Vivien Pua, Security Senior Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “In such instances, secure SD-WAN offers organizations an efficient and cost-effective approach to manage their networks across multiple locations while retaining the security functionality.”

Pua added: “Due to the rising adoption of new technologies such as 5G networks, cloud services and the Internet of Things (IoT), organizations need to transform their networks to offer employees and customers a reliable network performance and security protection, especially when it comes to distributed organizations with multiple branches. This trend will increase the adoption of secure SD-WAN and continue to rise over the next 1-2 years.”

Organizations’ increasing demand for embedded security in SD-WAN solutions presents massive growth opportunities for market participants, such as:

  • Providing integrated security and analytics functionalities on top of SD-WAN solutions to help gain a competitive edge over pure SD-WAN vendors and service providers.
  • Increased security features integrated into the solution to maintain a secure environment.
  • Platforms that can centrally manage deployments, configurations, and ongoing operations with complete visibility, analytics, and reporting across the entire network should be provided to customers.

Global Secure SD-WAN Solutions Growth Opportunities is the latest addition to Frost & Sullivan’s Security research and analyses available through the Frost & Sullivan Leadership Council, which helps organizations identify a continuous flow of growth opportunities to succeed in an unpredictable future.

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, June 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — At Interop Tokyo 2022, the largest ICT exhibition in Japan, Huawei OceanProtect Backup Storage won Special Prize for Best of Show Award in the Server & Storage category. This is the first world-class award won by Huawei OceanProtect Backup Storage, demonstrating its high-end and competitive advantages.


Award-winning review: Unparalleled backup storage performance. With rapid backup speeds and high data reduction ratios, the system may revolutionize applications and system designs and propel a new backup storage model into the future.

Interop Tokyo is the largest and most influential ICT exhibition in Japan. Each year, top technology companies from around the world showcase their leading solutions and technical prowess, to compete for Interop’s positive reviews. Huawei OceanProtect Backup Storage earned plaudits from IT experts and reviewers with its industry-leading, unique solution and flawless on-site demonstration.

The traditional Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape (D2D2T) model for data protection faces problems like long backup window and recovery time, while the new era of Flash-to-Flash-to-Anything (F2F2X) is redefining the model as backup solutions are going flash, further unlocking the value of data. The Huawei OceanProtect Backup Storage, as the next-generation intelligent all-flash benchmark product, is built for the F2F2X age, featuring rapid backup and recovery, efficient reduction, and high reliability.

Why Huawei OceanProtect Backup Storage was crowned the winner

The first advantage is rapid backup and recovery. At the front end, OceanProtect uses DTOE intelligent network interface card (NIC) to optimize protocol computing and release CPU computing resources, doubling the array bandwidth compared to traditional NIC. Furthermore, OceanProtect supports high-performance SSDs at the back end. The end-to-end full acceleration feature enables up to 155 TB/hour backup and 172 TB/hour recovery bandwidths, respectively.

In terms of efficient reduction, multi-layer inline variable-length dedupe, feature-based compression, and byte-level compaction achieve up to 72:1 data reduction ratio, which contributed to great TCO savings.  

Furthermore, 6-nines high reliability is built on the Active-Active redundancy hardware architecture and RAID-TP technology, which can tolerate three disk failures and implement failover within seconds when single controller failure, achieving high availability and reliability.

In the F2F2X age, data protection is embracing a new ecosystem and challenges. Huawei OceanProtect Backup Storage adapts to high-speed backup models in diverse industries and application environments, providing premium backup and recovery to safeguard your data assets in the intelligent world.

TradeWindow Standardises on Nintex Promapp to Support Global Growth

Leave a comment

Software development company uses Nintex Promapp to discover, map, manage and govern its organisational business processes

MELBOURNE, Australia, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Nintex, the global standard for process intelligence and automation, today announced that software company TradeWindow has rapidly deployed Nintex Promapp® to support its recent expansion and to prepare for ambitious international growth.

“When a business is growing quickly, it’s critical to have well-documented processes in place,” said Andrew Balgarnie, Chief Revenue Officer, TradeWindow. “This provides clarity across teams, particularly with new staff members, on how processes operate and ensures clear lines of communication.”

As an early-stage software development company, TradeWindow provides digital solutions to exporters, importers, freight forwarders, and customs brokers. The software delivers back-office productivity gains, connectivity with supply-chain partners, and visibility of how products are moving through those supply chains.

Rapid growth demands standardisation

With its headquarters in New Zealand, TradeWindow also has significant operations in Australia and Singapore. During the past three-and-a-half years, the firm has grown from a staff of five to more than 90 people. The Nintex Promapp deployment project began in late 2021 and took just eight weeks to complete and make full use of the platform.

“You can imagine the growth pressures we experienced during this time,” said Balgarnie. “People were pursuing a range of objectives and operating in different ways. We knew this needed to be addressed before we grew any larger, which is when the decision was made to deploy Nintex Promapp.”

Having Nintex Promapp in place has also helped the team at TradeWindow as they work towards their listing on the New Zealand Stock Exchange, since fully documented risks and processes are a basic requirement for a listed company.

Focus on value-adding tasks

With Nintex Promapp fully operational and all core processes fully mapped, TradeWindow is realizing significant business benefits. Activities are now conducted consistently across all locations and a number of previous inefficiencies that existed have been removed.

“Where teams are no longer caught up in administrative tasks, we actually found that energy can be refocused to better serve our customers,” Balgarnie concluded. “With Nintex Promapp in place, we now have the platform that can help us achieve this goal.”
