SevOne Supports Move From MPLS to SD-WAN With New Monitoring Tool

SevOne is extending its network and infrastructure management capabilities to SD-WAN environments. The SevOne SD-WAN Monitoring, based on its Data Platform technology, offers network services over enterprises’ multi-tenant SD-WANs. The initial release of the software is primarily focused on giving insights into Cisco’s SD-WAN service, which is based on Viptela technology. However, according to SevOne VP of Marketing Brian Promes, the way in which the monitoring software is designed is to be multi-vendor, and in the near future it will support other SD-WAN vendors. SevOne is targeting managed service providers (MSPs) with this monitoring tool. “As they [MSPs] begin to offer SD-WAN services to ease deployment and operation of these WANs with faster performance and the ability to scale bandwidth cost-effectively they will have both these new SD-WAN networks and their existing MPLS networks to manage,” said Promes. The SevOne SD-WAN monitoring will support MSP’s existing MPLS networks and SD-WAN networks with a single-pane-of-glass view into the entire WAN infrastructure. Once a new SD-WAN infrastructure is set up, the software will automatically monitor the new network. The SevOne software collects both real-time and historic data to give real-time insight across the whole service delivery path. It monitors network assets including enterprise campus and branch office WiFi, software-defined data centers (SDDC), and public clouds. In addition, SevOne’s single dashboard can be customized to both share and compare specific insights across multiple MSP teams.
