Why it matters

Product sprawl in your network and security infrastructure creates operational and budget pressures in the form of inter-product integration and coordination inefficiencies and higher licensing, support, and training costs. The fragmentation also contributes to security risks from misconfiguration and inconsistently applied security policies, creating gaps that cyber attackers can exploit, while making threats harder to detect and slowing response times.
Complexity can also lead to network bottlenecks and make troubleshooting more difficult, impacting overall performance. And as organizations grow, integrating new technologies into a complex infrastructure becomes harder, limiting adaptability and scalability. This array of challenges underscores the need for streamlined, unified network and security solutions.

Usecases

Simplify management

Leverage a unified architecture that ensures seamless compatibility, consistent policy enforcement, and centralized management, eliminating the need for complex inter-product coordination and reducing the risk of misconfigurations and security gaps

Enhance security posture

Enforce consistent security policies across the entire network, ensuring robust protection against threats and easier compliance with regulatory requirements. This unified approach allows for better monitoring and response to security incidents.

Improve performance

Optimize traffic flow and reduce latency by intelligently routing data through the most efficient paths. This leads to improved application performance and a more reliable network infrastructure, enhancing user experience and productivity.

Increase business agility

A converged infrastructure is more adaptable to future technological advancements and business growth. It allows for easier scaling and integration of new technologies, ensuring that the network and security systems can evolve with the organization’s needs.


How we do it

Versa helps customers reduce complexity and eliminate product sprawl by offering a unified platform that integrates comprehensive networking and security functions. This single solution encompasses SD-WAN, SASE, SSE, and ZTNA, providing end-to-end visibility and control through a centralized management console.

By consolidating multiple point products into one cohesive system, Versa simplifies configuration, deployment, and maintenance, reducing the operational burden on IT teams. Additionally, this integrated approach ensures consistent policy enforcement and streamlined operations, ultimately lowering costs and enhancing overall network performance and security.


What you get

Single-pass parallel processing

As a packet traverses the network, it is processed only once. As a result, all networking and security functions are performed only once, reducing processing overhead, service inconsistency, and the attack surface.

Unified data lake and analytics

Context-rich visibility to support AIOps and threat detection – without having to ingest and normalize data from separate systems. This sets the foundation for consistent, rich context that powers analytics and AI/ML.

Unified SASE client

Context-rich visibility to support AIOps and threat detection – without having to ingest and normalize data from separate systems. This sets the foundation for consistent, rich context that powers analytics and AI/ML.

Unified policy repository

Consistent policy application across your LAN, WAN, cloud, and data center driven by Versa’s unified policy language and single policy engine. Define once and apply across your infrastructure.

Single pane of glass

Unified management of a single platform that provides integrated functionality that is managed through a single management console.

Single software stack

The Versa Operating System (VOS) consolidates multiple functions that include routing, security, and SD-WAN into one cohesive software stack, eliminating the need for disparate, standalone devices and streamlining network management.


Benefits

Reduces licensing costs through consolidation by integrating multiple network functions into a single software platform, eliminating the need for multiple standalone devices and their associated licenses.

Consolidates network and security functions into a single, cohesive platform, eliminating the need for multiple, separate systems and enabling seamless interoperability within a unified solution that leverages native integrations and open APIs for third-party tools.

Minimizes the need for specialized tools and experts, streamlining management and operations.
