Versa Secure SD-LAN

Agility and Automation for Your Campus and Branch LAN

Your legacy LAN is built on a fragile architecture that struggles with constant reconfigurations and changes. Management and troubleshooting is time consuming and error prone. And to make matters worse, product refresh cycles painfully outpace your ability to finish prior upgrades. How do you keep pace with rapidly evolving security and network requirements?

With Versa, software defining the LAN brings an open and automated approach for greater reliability, granular control and flexibility. Combining switching, routing, security and network services into a hardware agnostic software platform allows you to move at the speed of business.

Deployment agility is radically improved through zero-touch provisioning. Configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting is simplified via a centralized single pane of glass. Automated configuration and change management using templates and profiles eliminates inconsistencies and manual errors.

Expand Observability and Control of Your LAN

Legacy architectures do not provide the visibility needed for security and application experience in the campus. Richer visibility requires additional investments in 3rd party tools including probes and firewalls.

Connections traverse across the entire LAN network. A unified data lake and AI Ops replaces unmanageable volumes of logs and events with information and actionable insights.

Versa Verbo, a natural language processing engine, simplifies operations and reduces Mean-time-to-Detect and Mean-time-to-Repair. VANI, an anomaly detection and predictive engine, automatically identifies threats, network issues, and swiftly prevents business-impacting disruptions.

Security “Built-In”

Legacy architectures use multiple point products to create a disjointed architecture for perimeter security and rudimentary access control. After authentication, a user or device is statically attached to a network segment and provided unconditional access to all resources. A bad actor can exploit this approach by spoofing a user or device to compromise the network and create a cascading security breach.

With Versa’s built-in security, authentication and continuous real-time posture assessments are performed in-line. Any compromises from bad actors are quickly identified and their access is automatically adjusted to contain the threat.

Deliver the Best Experience for
Every Business Application

Legacy switches were designed for the era when all applications were located locally or in on-premises data centers. Traffic was predictably north/south bound, and application visibility and control were unnecessary due to the proximity of the users. The influx of cloud has broken this paradigm. You face dramatic hairpinning for apps and lack any mechanism to prioritize applications within a campus with dynamic traffic conditions – degrading user experience and productivity.

With Versa SD-LAN, application-level Quality-of-Experience begins at the campus edge. The application can be directed locally to the Internet or through the Versa SASE fabric to optimize the end-to-end application experience.
