By The Versa Team
Universal SASE leaders
April 20, 2022
Enterprises are increasingly modernizing by moving their applications portfolio and data to the cloud. To achieve organizational freedom of choice, cost efficiency and global coverage, it is often attractive to use services from multiple different cloud vendors. Yet all these disconnected cloud environments—each with its own tools and nuances—must come together in a single fabric that enforces security, optimizes user experience through efficient best-path routing, maintains uninterrupted access, and simplifies orchestration. This cannot be achieved with sub-optimal backhauling of traffic anchored to an on-prem data center with traditional FW and security devices. Traffic must flow directly from user to cloud…

Why Analytics is Critical for True SD-WAN
By Roopa Bayar
Principal Software Architect, Versa Networks
January 18, 2021
WANs (Wide Area Networks) allow companies to extend their computer networks to be able to connect remote branch offices to data centers, public cloud, SaaS applications, and other internet-delivered applications and services that are required to perform essential business functions. Applications and connectivity are the lifeblood of all organizations today. The ability to connect users predictably and securely across branches, HQ, data centers, public clouds, etc. is the key to their success. However, more applications mean more demands on the network – and more demands on the teams that run them.
