Contrary to how often SASE is presented as only a cloud-delivered solution, SASE is most commonly deployed as a blended implementation. As seen with the customer examples above, a number of them decided to deploy via the cloud and on-premises while others leveraged a 100% cloud model or a 100% on-premise model.

Several analyst firms have reported recently about the state of the SD-WAN market, and not surprisingly, the market sizing is definitely due to inclusion of both hardware and software, and in Cisco’s case, contributions from Meraki. That’s the conclusion of AvidThink analyst Roy Chua, who believes that there could be a $500 million differential between pure SD-WAN software revenue and everything else deployed in the branch including hardware, circuits and wireless access only. Given that Versa is one of the few if not only pure-play SD-WAN vendors that from a revenue recognition standpoint is software only, devising a methodology that…

Part 2 of a 3 part series (read part 1 and part 3) Now, my journey. I requested a Versa Cloud Services Gateway appliance, specifically the CSG750-WLA (that’s our 750 series appliance with an integrated Wi-Fi AP (Access Point) and an integrated cellular modem for LTE).

Part 1 of a 3 part series (read part 2 and part 3) Throughout my entire career of 20+ years I predominately have been a work-from-home employee through various roles I have held. As part of #WFH the need for secure and either on-demand or constant connectivity to corporate resources is a hard requirement in order to do my job effectively. Over the last 20+ years how, where and what I need access to have changed quite dramatically. In summary a lot of these resources are now off-net [ e.g. email, SharePoint, Skype, CRM, PRM, collaboration and communication applications [conferencing…

Multi-cloud is the next phase of the hybrid cloud. It offers a redundancy model that relies on multiple cloud providers to host applications in a single heterogeneous architecture. Today’s organizations need resilient architectures that can withstand failure of a single cloud. Cloud services require workload continuity with redundancy between clouds or the need to enhance the hybrid cloud experience. For example, even though organizations still run a vase majority of on-premise applications but use S3 storage in Amazon Web Services (AWS). Therefore, a single cloud is insufficient for resilience, regional availability, performance and data sovereignty. To facilitate cloud multi-tasking, IaaS…

While many countries of Africa have experienced some of the fastest GDP growth rates in the world, and despite 4 billion people globally now connected to the Internet, the African Continent still suffers from the highest costs globally for broadband and mobile data, as well as the slowest Internet speeds, in some cases 40 times slower than the 5 fastest countries. According to Quartz , in general, African countries are not digitally competitive: none of the 39 ranked African countries achieved average speeds above 10Mbps, the minimum threshold required by consumers “to fully participate in a digital society” according to…
