As businesses grow, so do the demands placed on their networks. At some point, the patchwork of legacy solutions becomes more of a bottleneck than a foundation for success. That’s where Versa Secure
SD-WAN comes in — a modern, scalable platform designed to streamline operations, enhance security, and prepare your network for the future.

For organizations like yours, Versa represents an opportunity to rethink the way they connect people, applications, and devices. Here’s why Versa stands out:

1. A better experience for the user
Nothing frustrates users more than slow or unreliable applications. Versa Secure SD-WAN ensures connections stay fast, stable, and optimized. Features like dynamic traffic routing, WAN link aggregation (even for options like Starlink or 5G), and advanced optimization tools mean users don’t feel the impact of network hiccups.

2. Reliable uptime, no excuses
Versa prioritizes availability. It achieves sub-second failovers and protects against outages and brownouts with industry-leading tech. For an enterprise running mission-critical apps, this isn’t just helpful — it’s essential.

3. Scaled performance that doesn’t break a sweat
When it comes to performance, Versa is a leader in its class. Whether it’s delivering up to 50 Gbps of encrypted SD-WAN for hubs or leveraging multi-cloud integration with platforms like AWS and Azure, Versa provides the capacity and flexibility to handle the most demanding use cases.

4. Simplified IT, smarter operations
Versa doesn’t just make networks faster — it makes managing them easier. With zero-touch provisioning and templated site configurations, you can roll out new locations in minutes. And with a single-pane-of-glass management system, IT teams can easily monitor and secure everything from users to applications without drowning in complexity.

5. Built-in security for a changing world
Security isn’t an afterthought for Versa. It’s built into the platform, with next-generation firewall capabilities, malware protection, IDS/IPS, and SSL decryption all included. Zero-trust principles are applied consistently across the network, keeping users and data safe without adding extra hardware.

6. A smarter investment
Consolidating networking and security into a single solution means big cost savings for enterprises. Versa reduces the need for standalone firewalls, shortens deployment times, and extends hardware lifecycles, helping organizations control both upfront and ongoing costs.

7. Proven in large-scale environments
Versa is trusted by some of the largest enterprises in the world, with networks spanning over 20,000 devices. That level of scalability gives organizations confidence that Versa will grow with them, no matter how big or complex their needs become.

8. Built for the future
What makes Versa even more exciting is its roadmap. With a focus on expanding zero trust, leveraging AI-driven insights, and delivering full-stack enterprise solutions, Versa isn’t just keeping up with the times — it’s shaping what’s next in networking.

If your organization is looking to modernize its network, Versa Secure SD-WAN isn’t just an option — it’s the solution. It’s built for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s possibilities, giving you the tools to connect and protect your business without compromise.
