Welcome
The rise of enterprise AI workloads, from Gen AI to agentic AI applications, is reshaping network demands. These workloads generate unique traffic patterns – upstream-heavy, latency-sensitive, and increasingly peer-to-peer – making traditional SD-WAN solutions insufficient. To remain competitive, enterprise I&O leaders must assess whether their infrastructure is AI-ready. I’d like to introduce you to the next evolution of SD-WAN: Our new VeloRAIN (VeloCloud Robust AI Networking) architecture.
At VeloCloud, we’ve pioneered the evolution of SD-WAN to meet the challenges of AI-driven environments. Recognized as a leader in Gartner’s SD-WAN Magic Quadrant for seven years in a row, VeloCloud SD-WAN, powered by our new VeloRAIN architecture, is your gateway to an AI-ready network. Our VeloRAIN architecture introduces intelligent, adaptive capabilities designed to optimize, secure, and scale your network for distributed AI applications. Read more
- AI-Driven Application Profiling: Identify and prioritize AI traffic, even when encrypted, aligning Quality of Service (QoS) with Quality of Experience (QoE).
- AI-Based Network Optimization: Dynamic Application-Based Slicing (DABS) ensures AI workloads receive the resources they need by adapting network paths in real time.
- AI Operations (AIOps): Advanced AI insights and edge-specific language models empower automated, real-time adjustments to changing conditions.
I invite you to partner with us to future-proof your WAN infrastructure today to meet the demands of tomorrow.

Critical Capabilities for SD-WAN
- Jonathan Forest | Nauman Raja | Karen Brown
- 30 September 2024
Software-defined WAN connects enterprise branches with other enterprise locations, the cloud and wherever applications are hosted. Infrastructure and operations leaders responsible for networking should use this research to identify the offerings aligned with common enterprise use cases.
Overview
Key Findings
- The software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) offerings in this research generally have good enough functionality across the use cases.
- There is differentiation in performance optimization, cloud onramp and partner-integrated security capabilities that drive scoring across the use cases. Read more

Is AI Adoption the Next Inflection Point in the SD-WAN Market?
In an era defined by rapid technological transformation, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing is reshaping the landscape of enterprise networking. At the heart of this transformation is software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN), which has become the cornerstone of modern WAN architecture. However, as enterprises increasingly adopt AI workloads and distributed edge computing, the demands on SD-WAN systems have grown exponentially. The question for I&O leaders is no longer just about whether SD-WAN is deployed but whether it’s ready to handle modern workload traffic. Read more
