5G as Primary WAN: Making 5G Enterprise-Ready with Versa Secure SD-WAN
5G as Primary WAN: Making 5G Enterprise-Ready with Versa Secure SD-WAN For years, 5G was treated as a backup connection, the link you activated when the main circuit went down, then ignored until the next outage. That made sense when cellular networks were inconsistent and performance was unpredictable. But that’s no longer today’s reality. 5G has matured into a viable primary WAN technology. The speeds are there. The coverage is there. What’s been missing is the management foundation to run 5G like a primary enterprise WAN connection: unified policy enforcement, multi-carrier flexibility, intelligent traffic steering, and end-to-end visibility. That changes…
Resiliency Is the New SLA: Why AI Demands an Always-On Intelligent Edge
For decades, we’ve measured the network in terms of uptime percentages and bandwidth tiers. In the AI era, those metrics are no longer enough. Resiliency, which is the ability to deliver uninterrupted, any-directional, application-aware connectivity in the face of unpredictable AI workloads, is the new SLA.
Versa SASE Fabric
The Versa SASE Fabric, a part of the Versa Secure Access Fabric, is an interconnected, policy-aware, distributed system where networking, security, identity, analytics, and orchestration operate as a single unified platform. Learn why it’s based on an optimal architecture and what sets it apart.
Reimagining the Edge: From Network Appliance to Application Platform
For years, the enterprise edge has been treated as a fixed-function domain, purpose-built appliances focused solely on connectivity and security. But that model is no longer sufficient. As applications become distributed, AI workloads move closer to users, and real-time processing becomes critical, the edge must evolve from a transport layer into a flexible, intelligent platform.
Built to Innovate: How Versa’s Engineering DNA Keeps Rewriting What’s Possible
There is a particular kind of engineer drawn to building networks in software. They tend to be restless. They see the network not as fixed infrastructure, but as something programmable, something that should adapt to the business rather than force the business to adapt to it.
The WAN for AI-era applications is becoming a single system
Dell’Oro Group is putting a sharper name on something enterprise teams have been feeling for a while: in the AI era, the “WAN” cannot be a collection of loosely coupled products anymore. It has to operate like one end-to-end system with one policy model, one telemetry story, and one operational workflow.
Versa Zero Trust: From Network Trust to Application Trust
Zero Trust has become a foundational concept in enterprise security, but many implementations focus on only one part of the problem: application access. Zero Trust must be enforced at multiple layers of the network.
Automating Branch-to-Cloud Connectivity and Security: Versa Secure SD-WAN Integration with Zscaler Internet Access
We’re excited to introduce an automated integration between Versa Secure SD-WAN and Zscaler that makes dual-vendor SASE faster, secure and resilient. This integration helps you secure local internet breakout, improve user experience and simplify operations
Intelligent Edge: The Future of Branch and Campus in the AI Era
Distributed intelligent computing has arrived. Processing power, data, and intelligence are no longer confined to centralized cloud or data centers. Instead, they are distributed across data centers, cloud, edge locations, campuses, branches, and even devices. While prior phases of computing, internet, mobility, and cloud fundamentally reshaped how we live and work, this next phase is poised to have an even more profound impact.
