WAN DYNAMICS Velocloud sound Soundbite

Today is Velocloud day and you can design a Velocloud solution in many different ways.   For example, you can purchase it as an add-on from you existing ISP or CLEC or ILEC (AKA Telecom company), but I don't necessarily suggest that. Why? Because one of the big benefits of SD WAN is aggregating bandwidth and providing disaster avoidance for your network.   So... if you provider has a major outage, decides to RIF a bunch of people (layoffs), or any other number of compromising factors... then it wouldn't make much sense to have your backup plan for your ISP managed by that exact provider... Also, chances are that the NOC at your provider isn't staffed with the most highly knowledgeable people when it comes to Velocloud products or SD WAN in general.  They probably have some good people, but at the end of the day you are still calling a Toll-Free number, entering a ticket, and then waiting.
