Nuage, a division within Nokia, has been doing software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) before most of the startups in the field even existed. Originally, Nuage referred to its SDN at the branch as “SD-VPN.”
The branch technology actually sprang from its SDN automation for data centers. Nuage’s network automation in the data center handles virtual workloads, as well as workloads on bare metal and containers.
