Intro to Edge Computing and Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Adaptiv Networks — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 18:09:55 +0000

A Practical Introduction for MSPs and Multi-Site Enterprises

Over the past decade, IT teams have become comfortable managing massive amounts of compute and storage remotely from centralized data centers and cloud platforms. Virtualization made it possible to deploy, monitor, and update infrastructure without being physically present.

Now, that same operational model is moving out of the data center and into the real world at retail store locations, restaurants, factories, clinics, and branch offices. This shift is driving the rapid adoption of edge computing.

Edge computing simply means placing compute and storage closer to where applications are used, rather than relying solely on distant data centers or cloud regions. For distributed organizations, this reduces latency, improves reliability, and keeps critical workloads running even when connectivity is limited or disrupted.

Why Edge Computing Looks Different Today

Edge computing isn’t new, but today’s edge is very different from early branch-office servers. What’s changed is manageability.

The massive adoption of virtualization in data centers was pioneered by platforms like VMware, which proved that infrastructure could be centrally managed, automated, and scaled with minimal hands-on effort. Those same principles have now been refined and adapted for edge environments, where simplicity and resiliency matter even more.

Enter Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)

Hyperconverged infrastructure, or HCI, is the architectural foundation that makes modern edge computing possible.

Instead of managing separate systems for servers, storage, virtualization, and monitoring, HCI brings everything together into a single, integrated platform. Think of it as the infrastructure equivalent of the smartphone: what once required multiple standalone devices is now delivered through one cohesive system.

Why Simplicity Matters at the Edge

Traditional infrastructure architectures were designed for data center environments with dedicated IT staff, redundant hardware layers, and complex backup strategies. When those same designs are pushed to the edge, they often create unnecessary cost and operational overhead.

Modern edge platforms take a different approach. By streamlining traditional architectures into a more efficient, software-defined model, organizations can achieve resilience and performance without over-provisioning hardware or management tools.

What This Means for MSPs and Multi-Site Enterprises

For MSPs, edge computing with HCI enables faster deployments, standardized architectures, reduced operational complexity, and new recurring service opportunities.

For multi-site enterprises, it delivers consistent application performance, reduced dependence on constant cloud connectivity, and infrastructure that scales without scaling the operational IT burden.

As edge computing continues to grow, platforms that prioritize simplicity, centralized management, and efficiency will define the next generation of distributed IT.

How API-driven SD-WAN Streamlines Network Manageability

Sébastien Tellier — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 14:37:20 +0000

Digital transformation promised simplicity, agility, and freedom from legacy constraints. In reality, many businesses discovered something very different: more tools, more complexity, more vendors, and more operational pressure on already stretched teams. Networks are no longer just about connectivity. They are expected to deliver performance, security, visibility, and continuity across offices, homes, clouds, and everything in between. And when networks fail to keep up, the business feels it immediately.

This is the reality Adaptiv SD-WAN was built for. Our mission is simple and unwavering: to help businesses regain control of their networks by improving reliability, quality, manageability, and security. These are not abstract concepts, but practical outcomes that operators, partners, and customers can rely on every day.

While cybersecurity, reliability, and performance dominate organizational priorities, manageability is often overlooked. Yet in today’s distributed environments, cloud applications, hybrid workforces, and multi-site deployments, manageability becomes a make-or-break factor. A network that performs well but is hard to manage or automate quickly turns into a bottleneck instead of a business enabler.

SD-WAN introduces a clean separation between the control and data planes, enabling centralized visibility and policy control. Paired with SASE, security becomes part of the foundation rather than an afterthought. Above both sits the orchestration layer, which automates deployment, enforces global policies, collects telemetry, and ultimately serves as the operational command center.

An API Strategy Built for Automation and Integration

The Adaptiv SD-WAN solution is built on three components: the Adaptiv Connect Network, the Adaptiv OS, and the Adaptiv Cloud Orchestrator. All working together through APIs, the standard language systems use to exchange data and actions. Adaptiv built its Orchestrator using these same APIs to automate and simplify management across accounts and sites.

Those very same APIs are available to Adaptiv Partners who want to integrate Adaptiv directly into their own technology stack. Tech savvy SD-WAN service providers can augment the Adaptiv SD-WAN experience by connecting it to their operational workflows, provisioning systems, monitoring platforms, or customer portals. This strengthens the partner ecosystem by expanding what is possible, without replacing or diminishing the capabilities of the Orchestrator.

Here are a few examples of what is now at their fingertips.

Bulk Provisioning at True Channel Scale

SD-WAN service providers can use Adaptiv APIs to automate large scale deployments by defining a single profile, generating a deployment template, and applying it across dozens or hundreds of sites. These APIs make it possible to manage Adaptiv CPEs alongside other third-party appliances or services within the partner’s existing workflows. This creates a unified provisioning experience across the partner’s broader ecosystem.

Automated Incident Management Across NOC and SOC Workflows

Adaptiv APIs can be leveraged to create direct integrations with systems like ServiceNow, Jira, and leading SIEMs. Partners can tie Adaptiv SD-WAN performance and network health data into their own operational logic so detected events can trigger automated actions such as ticket open, update, or close. When performance changes or security indicators appear, structured data flows straight into the partner’s established processes, enhancing response times and reducing manual intervention in 24/7 environments.

Centralized Monitoring Through Custom Analytics Pipelines

Adaptiv APIs provide access to detailed network metrics. This includes application usage, link behavior and health, throughput, and events. Adaptiv Partners can feed this data into their own dashboards, analytics platforms, or customer portals to create their own branded, monitoring experience powered by Adaptiv intelligence.

The Power of the Adaptiv SD-WAN APIs

At the core of the Adaptiv standard SD-WAN offering is the Cloud Orchestrator, which unifies configuration control, firewall policies, firmware lifecycle management, analytics and provisioning. It’s designed to provide out-of-the-box manageability features for Adaptiv solutions.

For MSPs and CSPs, APIs provide a way to extend and enrich this architecture. The same APIs Adaptiv uses internally are available externally, allowing partners to integrate Adaptiv services directly into their existing platforms, workflows, or operational systems. This enables custom automations, consolidated service portals, or enhanced analytics pipelines without replacing any part of the Adaptiv SD-WAN platform.

Adaptiv remains the core engine, while the APIs empower partners to tailor and streamline their SD‑WAN experience to integrate seamlessly with their own operational models and technology stacks, delivering a stronger, more unified service to their customers. Contact our channel sales team to learn more about how our SD-WAN orchestration platform empowers service providers with centralized network management, plus the flexibility to leverage APIs to streamline service delivery for MSPs and CSPs.

Sébastien Tellier is the Vice President of Solutions at Adaptiv Networks. Prior to joining Adaptiv, Sébastien worked at Martello and ELFIQ Networks, where he held different positions in marketing and sales in the SD-WAN market. During that time, he appeared on panels and shows in Europe and North America, while working with channel partners across the planet. Sébastien holds a Master of Science in Marketing from HEC Montréal.

Why MSPs are Doubling Down on SD-WAN & SASE

Adaptiv Networks — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 15:20:01 +0000

Small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) are rapidly adopting Software-Defined WAN and cloud-based security (SASE) solutions, driving a surge in demand ripe for managed service providers (MSPs). Below, we break down the key numbers fueling partner interest and why now is the time to act.

A Market on Fire

Analysts are projecting explosive growth in the SD-WAN and SASE space, especially for the SME segment. Industry forecasts show annual growth rates around 25-30% for SD-WAN over the next several years (1/2). In practical terms, the market could quadruple in size by 2030. Global SD-WAN spend is estimated around $9 B in 2025, on track to reach $35+ B by 2030 (3). This explosion is fueled by cloud migration and the hybrid work boom: businesses need better networks, and they need them fast.

Meanwhile, North America leads the charge, accounting for roughly half of the worldwide SD-WAN/SASE revenue (4). For US channel partners, high growth = high reward as the lion’s share of new SD-WAN spending is happening right in your backyard. Early entrants can grab a major slice of a fast-expanding revenue pool.

It’s not just networking, cloud-based cybersecurity is on a similar trajectory powered by Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). A recent market study valued the global SASE market at about $4 B in 2024 and projects roughly 27% CAGR reaching about $17 B by 2030 (5). North America also dominates here with an estimated 46% share of the SASE market (6). This underscores that integrated SD-WAN + security services represent a booming frontier. Partners who offer cloud-managed SD-WAN today are well positioned to upsell full SASE solutions as client needs evolve, capturing even more value.

Managed Services: The Channel Sweet Spot

Perhaps the most compelling insight for channel partners: the vast majority of businesses prefer to consume SD-WAN as a managed service, not DIY. In fact, a Masergy/Altman Solon study found that only 23% of companies use a “do-it-yourself” SD-WAN approach, whereas 77% opt for fully managed or co-managed solutions (7). The 2024 TeleGeography WAN Manager Survey confirms this trend by showing the DIY route remains the least popular across all business sizes. Even among smaller firms, roughly 4 out of 5 prefer to have a provider involved rather than building SD-WAN in-house.

Why Do Customers Want Managed SD-WAN?

It boils down to simplicity and expertise. Businesses recognize that designing, integrating, and running a distributed WAN (often across dozens of sites) is complex and resource-intensive. Managed SD-WAN services offer a turnkey delivery experience where the certified solution provider handles the edge devices, network links, 24/7 monitoring, SLAs, and even security integration. This allows the customer to focus their precious IT resources on core business initiatives instead of becoming network engineers. As one industry analyst noted, about “30% of companies that attempt SD-WAN DIY find it very difficult,” whereas an MSP can make it “very easy” for them (8). No wonder even smaller enterprises are eager to have a partner carry the load. In fact, in the 500-1000 employee range, 76% of companies with SD-WAN use an MSP to manage it!

Crucially, this preference extends to SASE as well. A 2023 Frost & Sullivan study found “an MSP is the most preferred partner to implement SASE” for businesses of all sizes(9). This survey found that over 57% of small businesses relied on an MSP for their SASE rollout rather than handling it internally. The takeaway: whether it’s SD-WAN or the broader SASE framework, customers are looking to the channel to design, deliver, and manage these solutions.

All of this is good news for MSPs and integrators, the market wants managed services! It means recurring revenue is there for the taking. By offering cloud-managed SD-WAN and SASE, partners can lock in long-term contracts and monthly recurring margins. It’s a classic win-win: the client gets a hassle-free solution with expert support, and the provider gets a steady, compounding revenue stream. If you can manage it for them, most companies will gladly pay you to do so. That’s services revenue straight to your bottom line. Meanwhile, if you don’t offer managed SD-WAN, your clients will find someone else who does.

Almost Ubiquitous – Don’t Miss the Wave

SD-WAN isn’t a niche, early-adopter technology anymore, it’s becoming standard infrastructure for distributed businesses. As of 2024, roughly 90% of companies are either using SD-WAN or in the process of adopting it, according to TeleGeography’s 2024 WAN Manager Survey. Back in 2021, an Altman Solon study similarly predicted adoption would reach 92% of all companies by 2026, and we’re now well on the way to that reality.

For MSPs, this is a case of opportunity now, risk later. In the near term, SD-WAN/SASE is a high-growth service you can lead with to differentiate your portfolio and capture new clients. It’s still a cutting-edge offering that many customers are actively researching or rolling out for the first time, so you can be the expert that guides them.

But within a few short years, having SD-WAN and SASE capabilities will be table stakes. If your MSP business isn’t on this train, you risk getting left behind. If a prospect asks about cloud-network solutions and you don’t have a strong SD-WAN/SASE offering, they’ll likely turn to a competitor who does. The window for being an early mover is open now; it won’t be open forever. We’re at the point where not offering SD-WAN is a competitive disadvantage.

The fear of missing out is real. Every quarter, more businesses are choosing their SD-WAN and SASE providers. Partners who establish themselves now will reap the rewards of customer loyalty and an installed base. Those who wait may find the market crowded or their role minimized.

Key Stats at a Glance

SD-WAN Market Growth (CAGR): 25-30% annual growth expected over the next 5+ years (analyst forecasts from IDC, MarketsandMarkets).
Market Size Expansion: Global SD-WAN revenues around $9 B in 2025, projected to reach $30-36 B by 2030 (roughly 4× growth; source: Grand View Research).
Managed vs. DIY Deployment: 75-80% of companies use managed or co-managed SD-WAN; only 20-25% go fully DIY (Masergy/Altman Solon survey; TeleGeography 2024 confirms DIY is least favored).
Adoption Rate: 87-90% of businesses have deployed or are actively deploying SD-WAN as of 2024 (TeleGeography WAN Manager Survey). Virtually everyone is at least considering it, and only 10% have opted out.
North America Share: 40-50% of global SD-WAN/SASE spending comes from North America (Statista, MarketsandMarkets reports) – the largest share of any region.
SASE Market Trajectory: 25-30% annual growth for SASE expected through 2030 (MarketsandMarkets). For example, $4 B in 2024 growing to $17 B by 2030, as networking and security converge.

The Bottom Line for Partners

The SD-WAN and SASE trend in the SME space boils down to two words: growth and opportunity. Demand is skyrocketing, and most of that boom will flow through managed service channels. For MSPs, this is a perfect storm as SD-WAN provides a high-demand technology that customers largely cannot or will not deploy on their own.
By leaning in now, partners can secure a strong foothold (and healthy profits) in a market that’s on a steep upward trajectory. Consider the advantages:

High Growth, High Reward: Rapid market expansion means even a modest share can translate into significant new revenue. The rising tide lifts all boats, but you have to be in the water to benefit.
Recurring Revenue & Sticky Services: SD-WAN and SASE are delivered as ongoing services, not one-off sales. Land a customer’s network, and you’re looking at years of recurring income. It builds a compounding revenue base and deepens client trust.
Customer Value & Retention: These technologies solve real pain points (better cloud app performance, simpler branch connectivity, stronger security). Delivering that value enhances your role as a trusted advisor. Plus, once you’re managing a customer’s network, they’re far less likely to leave – you’ve become embedded in their operations.
Competitive Differentiation (Now or Never): At the moment, offering cloud-managed SD-WAN/SASE sets you apart because it shows you’re innovative and forward-thinking. Soon, however, it will be an expected part of any MSP portfolio. Getting in now means you lead the pack instead of scrambling later. Don’t be the last MSP to add SD-WAN; be the first in your market to master it.
Bridge to Full SASE Solutions: Starting with SD-WAN opens the door to upselling security and other IT services. As clients grow, you can evolve their setup toward a complete SASE framework by adding layers of cybersecurity. That means even more revenue per customer and a broader “stickiness” as their one-stop provider.

Adaptiv Networks is here to help partners seize this momentum. Our cloud-managed SD-WAN and SASE platform was built 100% for the channel, meaning our success is tied to your success. We deliver a carrier-grade network service that’s easy to sell, deploy, and manage, so you can capitalize on the trends above without heavy investment or complexity. From zero-touch edge devices to our single-pane-of-glass SD-WAN management portal, Adaptiv’s solution lets you spin up customer networks quickly and reliably. We also provide sales enablement, training, and Tier-2 support as part of our Partner Program, effectively acting as an extension of your team.

In short, MSPs are doubling down on SD-WAN & SASE because it’s a fast-growth, high-margin opportunity that aligns perfectly with what SMEs need. The only question is: will you be the one meeting that need, or will your competitor?

Now is the time to lean in and make sure it’s you. The market is surging, the channel is the preferred delivery method, and Adaptiv’s partner-focused model gives you a running start. Don’t miss out on the SD-WAN/SASE wave that’s sweeping the industry, let’s ride it together and help businesses thrive in the cloud era. Contact our channel team today to set up a call, or visit our Partner Program page to learn more.

Factory of the future: powered by SD‑WAN connectivity

Adaptiv Networks — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 18:44:12 +0000

Connectivity equals Productivity

The manufacturing industry has one of the greatest opportunities to adopt new technologies that will help increase competitiveness, improve efficiencies and impact the bottom line. As manufacturers embark on their journey through digital acceleration one priority remains at the top – connectivity.

The smart factory needs consistent and reliable cloud access to various mission-critical applications and services that keep the production line optimized and performing 24/7. The remote nature of many manufacturing plants makes traditional MPLS services expensive and inefficient for cloud access.

SD-WAN offers reassurance and performance features to keep your smart factory running at all times.

Here are 3 Key SD-WAN Benefits for manufacturers to consider.

Non-stop Production

Manufacturers have tight customer deadlines and daily production quotas to meet. When your plants are operating 24/7 to keep up with demand, downtime is not an option. Every minute of downtime translates to significant financial losses for manufacturers and jeopardizes critical production commitments. Many manufacturers don’t have onsite IT support covering every shift, which can lead to extended network outages that last for hours.

One of the main features SD-WAN provides is automatic failover that ensures every shift has reliable and consistent online connectivity. If one link fails or gets congested, traffic is automatically redirected to a different link, thus reducing latency. According to a Q4 2018 report from Nemertes Research, early SD-WAN adopters are reporting a 69% drop in annual site downtime. All solutions are not created equal, so be sure to carefully compare SD-WAN failover features before you buy.

Cost Efficiency

Cost control is key to delivering value in manufacturing. SD-WAN connectivity delivers higher productivity for less cost (a lot less) than MPLS. As manufacturers look at their overall IT spend, in most cases network costs tend to be high. The costs of remote access from bandwidth providers and MPLS can add up quickly. SD-WAN can dramatically reduce overall network costs and provide better performance. And because SD-WAN is a managed service, you avoid hidden costs related to the complexity of setting up and maintaining your own network. SD-WAN can scale quickly to grow with you, and you don’t need to worry about maintaining network infrastructure or hardware.

Agility for an Innovation Overhaul

Innovation means digitizing the means of production. From connected devices in the warehouse, robotics on the factory floor, and supply chain management software in the cloud, manufacturers must embrace new technologies in order to survive. The challenge is that legacy networks struggle to adapt, threatening your ability to stay competitive.

With SD-WAN, more connected tools and machinery can be introduced into your production line and easily connect to cloud infrastructure for big data processing. SD-WAN provides secure and reliable connections to every location throughout your supply chain, with greater flexibility to add new sites, increase bandwidth or introduce new cloud infrastructure to your network.

If your network is slowing you down, it’s time for an upgrade. Adaptiv SD-WAN empowers manufacturers with an agile & secure networking solution designed to streamline operations and enhance production efficiency. Embrace digital transformation with Adaptiv SD-WAN and take productivity to the next level.
