SASE Network Components

​

• Universal Wide Area Network (WAN) and Internet access security independent of worker location or mobility, identity based with the same options available for workers no matter the location: office, branch, corporate data center, cloud data center, remote locations or home (security is integrated across all components, not just networking)

• Cloud based global software defined firewalls for WAN and Internet

• Identity based security based on the user, independent of location, enables network segmentation based on user anywhere on the WAN

• Application aware network security applied using policies based on user identity and application identity – enables global application prioritization and improved user experience 

• Managed middle mile internet networks integrated with last mile SD-WAN site connectivity for better application quality of service and availability

• Improved cost efficiency as scaling connectivity becomes incremental with multiple broadband connections aggregated using SD-WAN

• Integrated with campus network Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) software defined networks for fast operational scaling and performance

• Simplicity provided through advanced software defined networks allows improved business agility,

• Enhanced traffic visibility and management allows improved efficiencies and performance.

• Enables hybrid application deployment and migration.  Applications become services that can be moved easily from corporate data centre, to cloud IAAS, and cloud SaaS solutions – with minimal impact on the end user
