根据电视观的研究,随着SD-WAN采用的持续蓬勃发展,市场已经开始稳定,竞争压力开始迫使价格降低。
SD-WANcosts are apparently becoming more accessible, particularly at the lower-capacity end of the market, according to TeleGeography’s research, which said that median non-recurring charges for SD-WAN implementations—meaning charges for the SD-WAN appliances themselves, not for additional managed services—have decreased by about 15% compounded annually since 2018.
电视影学高级研究经理Brianna Boudreau表示,这在很大程度上归因于技术成熟。
她说:“我们看到的是,随着SD-Wan的成熟,定价模型已经发展。”“ [供应商]一直在削减竞争力。”
鉴于SD-WAN供应商提供的各种定价模型,SD-WAN定价是一个有些复杂的问题。有些人更多地关注基于资本支出的计划,其中成本主要用于购买实际的SD-WAN设备;其他人则是基于OPEX的更多,其中成本更专注于为正在进行的软件订阅付费。
