Infovista Enhances Its SD-WAN for Managed Service Providers, Mid-Market Enterprises

Infovista released the most recent update to its Ipanema SD-WAN to better serve mid-market enterprises and managed service providers. The update includes additional application intelligence capabilities, a cloud-based orchestrator, session-based routing and path selection, and a cloud application database. The company claims that its SD-WAN business has more than 450 customers globally and more than 40,000 sites deployed with Ipanema across 115 countries. According to Mike Wilkinson, chief product officer at Infovista, the company has continued to invest in SD-WAN and this update is the “latest manifestation of what we’re building in the market.” According to IHS, Infovista was ranked No. 10 based on worldwide SD-WAN revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018. Its SD-WAN revenue dropped 5 percent from the previous quarter to $9.7 million. According to Josh Bancroft, senior research analyst at IHS, Infovista indicated that the decline was a result of prospects waiting for this latest Ipanema SD-WAN update. Wilkinson said that while there is new money flowing into the SD-WAN space, it has become congested and is beginning to see some degree of consolidation. “Going forward with our SD-WAN, we thought we needed to go to market with something different,” he said.
