As fans await the anticipated crossover between Philadelphia-bred series and , Quinta Brunson and Rob McElhenney tided viewers over by joining forces to pull for their hometown Eagles in a promo for “Being an Eagles fan in Los Angeles, I mean, of course you feel like an outsider sometimes,” McElhenny, who hails from Philadelphia, began in the ad. Brunson, who is from West Philly and born to a schoolteacher, agreed: “Being born and raised in Philly, living in LA, you know, you never really forget you’re not here.” The two-time Emmy winning actress and writer was clad in a tracksuit boasting Eagles’ signature green. “Anyone else notice it’s, like, always freaking sunny here?” McElhenney joked in an obvious reference to his show’s namesake and the perpetual sunshine in California. “I guess you could say with the holidays around the corner, it’s nice to have some family in town,” the executive producer began, with Brunson chiming in “especially when your family is playing like this: The two football fans singled out quarterback Jalen Hurts, who made a cameo in a February 2024 episode alongside his teammates, and running back Saquon Barkley in highlight reels, including the latter’s iconic “spin hurdle” that was to video game Madden NFL. But the Los Angeles Rams are formidable opponents, the two stars said: “The Rams did the same thing last year, started slow like they were playing possum,” Brunson noted, with McElhenny adding, “next thing you know, they’re in the playoffs.” (Last year, the Rams lost to the Detroit Lions in the wild card round, with the latter team clinching its first playoff win in 32 years.) “I love the contrast though. And at the end of the day,” Brunson began, with McElhenney finishing her sentence: “There is still no place like home.” The two NFL powerhouses will face off in week 12 of at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. tonight. The game kicks off at 5:20 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock. Heading into the game, the Eagles are 8-2 with the Rams at 5-5. “All right, thanks guys, you can turn off the lights, I actually sleep here, so,” McElhenney said in closing out the video, set to an instrumental of Saint Motel’s “My Type,” filmed on-location at Paddy’s Bar.

Managed SD-WAN services, offered by managed service providers (MSPs) or communications service providers (CSPs), provide the necessary networking, transport, hardware, and software for delivering applications or services, such as branch connectivity with specified SLAs. Regular maintenance is crucial for SD-WAN's optimal performance, and providers often offer additional services for setup, integration, and maintenance. The services segment is expected to drive the growth of the global SD-WAN market during the forecast period. Research Analysis The Software-defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for WAN simplification and cost savings. SD-WAN enables businesses to efficiently manage and optimize their network resources, making it an ideal solution for handling the exponential growth of cloud IP traffic. With the advent of 5G, SD-WAN is set to become even more crucial for businesses dealing with large amounts of data, such as those in healthcare, energy and utilities, and transportation and logistics. SD-WAN offers improved reliability and bandwidth efficiency compared to traditional Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. It is particularly beneficial for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and industries dealing with high-volume data, such as industrial IoT (IIoT), smart cities, and edge computing. Moreover, SD-Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and AI-driven network security are essential features of SD-WAN, ensuring secure connectivity for businesses dealing with sensitive data. Operating costs are also reduced through the adoption of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and hybrid cloud solutions. The future of SD-WAN lies in its ability to adapt to emerging technologies like 5G, RAN, and mobility, making it a vital component of digital transformation strategies. Market Overview The SD-WAN market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for WAN simplification and cost savings. Traditional approaches to managing network infrastructure for enterprises, such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), are being replaced with SD-WAN networks for their bandwidth efficiency and ability to handle exabytes (EB) and zettabytes (ZB) of cloud IP traffic. SD-WAN networks provide reliability and agility, enabling digital transformation for various industries, including SMEs, healthcare, transportation and logistics, energy and utilities, and more. The integration of 5G, Radio Access Networks (RAN), and advanced technologies like AI, big data, and edge computing, further enhances SD-WAN's capabilities. Cost savings, network security, and application performance are key benefits of SD-WAN, making it an attractive option for enterprises looking to optimize their network infrastructure and improve user experience. The market for SD-WAN is expected to grow as more businesses adopt cloud-based services, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and hybrid cloud platforms. Despite the advantages, SD-WAN deployment can face reliability issues and cybersecurity concerns.
