Versa Networks announced its integration with Google Cloud Network Connectivity
Center (NCC), allowing for secure and reliable connectivity to cloud
workloads and on-premises resources in an automated, dynamic approach
that reduces total costs of ownership. The integration between Versa
SASE and Google Cloud represents continued development in security,
SD-WAN, bandwidth management, and high availability differentiation and
innovation to deliver the most consistent and high-performing user
experience for secure access to applications anywhere in the world.
Utilizing
Versa SD-WAN within Versa SASE, this collaboration enables customers
who have business applications anywhere in the world to gain optimized
connectivity to them by providing an end-to-end solution that is access
independent, multi-access capable, and application aware. Versa
integrated with Network Connectivity Center enables dynamic, secure
branch-to-branch and branch-to-Google Cloud secure connectivity with
industry-leading network SLA monitoring, deep packet inspection, video
and voice performance monitoring, and application acceleration
techniques such as Forward Error Correction across Google Cloud,
allowing for unparalleled speeds and capabilities.
"Our
integration with Google Cloud Network Connectivity Center enables
customers to easily and intuitively configure connectivity with Google's
hub sites around the world with a Versa SASE overlay that provides the
best end user experience," said Kumar Mehta, Co-Founder and CDO, Versa
Networks. "We're excited to collaborate with Google Cloud to provide
exceptional application performance and secure access for resources in
the cloud or on-premises. This is driven by an automated, end-to-end
solution that has excellent visibility into factors that help reduce the
bandwidth and operational cost for end users."
"We're
delighted to expand our strategic partnership with Versa Networks and
to support businesses' cloud deployments at increasing scale and scope,"
said Shailesh Shukla, VP and GM, Networking at Google Cloud.
"Integrating Versa SD-WAN with Google Cloud Network Connectivity Center
enables customers to connect business endpoints globally - in a simple,
automated solution with control, visibility and security."
The
Versa orchestration system also tightly integrates with Google Cloud
Network Connectivity Center to provide automated and dynamic deployment
and administration that reduces provisioning time of new branch sites to
a matter of minutes. With zero-touch provisioning combined with the
Google infrastructure, workloads can be distributed globally to scale in
and scale out based on resource requirements, and span to different
regions and availability zones based on geo-redundancy requirements.
This integration allows organizations to spin out a new site anywhere in
the world in minutes, and then dynamically connect it leveraging a
diverse set of wired and wireless links depending on performance and
compliance requirements.
Versa
SASE delivers tightly integrated SASE services such as SD-WAN,
Next-Generation Firewall, Secure Web Gateway, Cloud Access Security
Broker, and Zero Trust Network Access via the cloud, on-premises, or as a
blended combination of both via Versa Operating System (VOS) with a
Single-Pass Parallel Processing architecture and managed through a
single pane of glass. Versa uniquely provides contextual security based
on user, role, device, application, location, security posture of the
device, and content. This unique single-pass architecture offers the
only solution on the market for complete visibility into networking and
security Quality of Service (QoS) performance, allowing for dynamic
reduction of end-to-end costs.
Unlike competing solutions, Versa
SASE was built from the ground up to deliver a tightly integrated SASE
solution within a single software stack managed via a single interface,
eliminating service chaining, cascading, and virtual interconnect
between services, which is required by competitors. Competing solutions
have hidden costs and gaps in security because they require multiple
product and service components. Achieving visibility and control from
solutions requiring service chaining to connect multiple components
together proves ineffective, increasing the costs and attack surfaces
for organizations.
