Klaus Gheri, vice president of network security for Barracuda Networks, said Microsoft has made it possible to launch an SD-WAN service using Azure Virtual WAN Hubs, a networking service based on a hub-and-spoke architecture that unifies networking services such as security and routing under a common interface.

Gheri said rather than having to replicate all those networking services, Barracuda Networks is layering a Barracuda CloudGen WAN service on top of the Azure Virtual WAN Hubs to provide a service that, like any other cloud service, can be consumed per billable hour.

More recently, cloud service providers have been making SD-WAN services available via the networks they built to connect all their data centers.

A recent survey of 750 business and IT professionals conducted by Vanson Bourne on behalf of Barracuda Networks finds more than half (52%) are looking to employ SD-WAN services delivered via the cloud.
