Reducing Complexity and Costs of Traditional Networking
Versa is fundamentally different than proprietary and expensive network software and hardware. Versa SASE combines security, networking, industry-leading SD-WAN analytics, and automation within a single stack that can be deployed avia the cloud, on-premises, or a blended combination of both.
Deployed on low-cost x86 architectures and appliances utilizing the latest advances in processors and virtualized infrastructure, Versa radically reduces capital purchases and expensive upgrades and refreshes that are common with legacy network hardware devices.
Versa supports the widest set of deployment options in the industry and is designed to run directly on bare metal Versa CSG appliances with industry leading features and competitive price points. Versa also runs on certified and preconfigured white box platforms, hypervisor VMs (VMware ESXi, KVM, Xen and Microsoft Hyper-V), and IaaS platforms (Amazon, Google and Microsoft).
Versa takes full advantage of multi-core processors and Intel DPDK support for maximum use of the underlying compute resources, thus resulting in high performance and throughput.
Endpoints
VOS™ and VSAC extend Versa SASE to mobile devices, branch offices, regional locations, campuses, headquarters, private data centers, private clouds, public clouds, and multiclouds.
VOS
The highly flexible VOS enables businesses, organizations, and service providers to deploy Versa SASE in branch offices, cloud, campus, and data centers. Regardless of where VOS is deployed (on-premises or in the cloud), all network and security capabilities are provisioned and managed centrally through Versa Director, a single-pane-of-glass management platform.
Versa Analytics works in conjunction with Versa Director to provide visibility, base-lining, correlation, and predictive analysis for network, application usage, and security events. With Versa Analytics, all network security, application usage, export reports and logs are analyzed, filtered and are easily searchable for events to derive actionable insights.
Versa Secure Access Client (VSAC)
Versa Secure Access Client (VSAC) is a mobile software application that runs on and extends Versa SASE to client devices (i.e., Windows devices, MacOS devices, iOS devices, Linux devices, and smart phones). Versa Secure Access Client creates a secure and encrypted connection from remote devices to the distributed system of Versa Cloud Gateways with application segmentation and SD-WAN services.
Upon user authentication and access authorization through Versa Cloud Gateways, users with VSAC can securely, reliabily, and with high performance connect to enterprise applications in public and private cloud.

Control & Management
Versa offers simplified control and management via four complementary components:
Versa Director
Versa Director is a virtualization and service creation platform that simplifies the design, automation, and delivery of SASE services. Versa Director provides the essential management, monitoring and orchestration capabilities needed to deliver all of the networking and security capablities within Versa SASE.
Versa Analytics
Versa Analytics is a rich near real-time big data solution that provides visibility and control, base-lining, correlation, prediction and feedback loop into Versa SASE. Versa Analytics analyzes large amounts of data sent from VOS to present actionable business insights including current and historical search, reports on usage patterns, trends, security events, and alerts.
Versa Concerto
Versa Concerto offers automation and orchestration for SASE workflows, enabling faster and easier deployments, secure operations, and centralized management. It is also the orchestration platform for all WAN edge functions such as routing, security services including service chaining to advanced third-party security services and WAN optimization.
Versa Titan
Versa Titan transforms user and operational experience with a modern web portal and mobile app to quickly activate, configure, secure, and troubleshoot branch sites and WAN. It delivers easy administration, complete network and site status visibility, speed tests on underlay and overlay, automated security updates, and granular control for Wi-Fi, LTE, QoS, and traffic steering.
Versa Cloud Gateways
Versa Cloud Gateways run industry leading VOS multi-tenant software. They are globally distributed and provide Versa SASE services along with distributed secure, reliable, and high performance access to cloud applications, services, and resources. Gateways authenticate users, authorize the application access and secure the enterprise network from external threats. Versa Cloud Gateways integrate scalable advanced routing, comprehensive security, industry-leading SD-WAN along with secure access. In addition to all of these services, they also securely connect to and integrate with existing infrastructure in Enterprise networks and datacenters.
