Scalability Is A Matter Of Context
Scale is a relative term. While every technology needs to scale to some point to be useful to IT practitioners, not every technology needs to scale infinitely. Every technology has a context in which it is viable — where it proves to be the best choice. But in another context, the opposite technology might rise to the surface as more appropriate. Don't be religious about such a decision. Know your business need well, research the technology thoroughly, plan for the future, and choose wisely. Don't pick a tool that solves someone else's problem.Is SD-WAN Simply WAN Optimization Evolved? Not Exactly.
Consumers evaluating SD-WAN shouldn't think of it as a WAN optimization replacement, at least not exactly. These are different technologies, although it might be fair to think of SD-WAN as the successor to WAN optimization. SD-WAN and WAN optimization are compatible technologies, but not interdependent technologies.Citizens of Tech 011 – Prosthetic Phone Diving

Show 245 – What Makes Citrix Netscaler Different? – Sponsored
What features does the Netscaler platform have that make it unique? This isn’t just a bunch of fluffy marketing points. Rather, we opted to focus on some of the nuts and bolts of how NetScaler handles more interesting things like L7 packet manipulation, policy declaration, the use of promise theory, IPFIX extensions, that sort of thing.
