Ubiquitous cloud access has become more business-critical than ever and monitoring, managing and trouble-shooting have increased in complexity. SD-WAN allows organizations to seamlessly bring together diverse circuits like MPLS, DIA Internet, broadband Internet, WiFi, satellite and any other network transport with an IP address. We can already see some of the ways in which AI can optimize WANs to improve business outcomes. For example, ubiquitous networking has become a critical layer in the network landscape to ensure reliable, cost-effective and highly scalable connectivity. The challenge is in managing the ubiquitous WAN’s real-time decision making, based on network conditions, locations and…

Networking and security IT infrastructures have evolved to a level of complexity unmanageable by operators and enterprises using a conventional approach. The ongoing reliance upon legacy network hardware and disjointed WAN architectures inhibit the operational agility required by global organizations looking to digitize business services with secure, multi-cloud connectivity. The intersection of network reliability and application performance requires a more flexible, versatile network architecture with security and cloud integration at the forefront; thus, optimal WAN-path selection alone is no longer good enough in a multi-threaded threat environment. Large-scale enterprises with far-flung remote locations and highly distributed data centers are facing…

You finished moving your applications to the cloud. The project went live, and you hoped that soon you would be reaping immense benefits from your cloud investment. You wait. And wait some more. And then reality strikes. Mainstream network technologies that build up most enterprise networks of today were not built to handle the dynamic, anytime anywhere accessibility of workloads in a cloud environment. To truly reap the benefits of a cloud strategy, you need to compliment it with a network that is intelligent, cloud-native, secure and still cost-effective. SD-WAN is your answer. Enter the Cloud Transformation Era Enterprises are…

An Excuse for a Blog Recently, Versa Networks participated in the AWS integration testing performed by the ESG Group that culminated in their recently published buyer’s guide for SD-WAN solutions in AWS.  The timing of this test was perfect as it coincides with increased customer interest in both hybrid and multi-cloud solutions. The timing was perfect for another reason:  Versa has been adding quite a bit of innovation around native integration with various public cloud environments, but these tend to make sense to folks employed by “born-in-the-cloud” employers, where Python and JSON, not BGP and OSPF are the main job…
