SD-WAN Architecture: Secure Your Network for Scale and the Cloud

Enterprise IT needs to protect the network, devices, and data against threats while users are accessing SaaS and Internet applications without compromising their productivity. VMware Cloud Web Security, delivered as a cloud hosted service from the VMware SASE Platform, ensures threat protection while offering visibility, control and compliance. Using a single management pane for networking and security services, VMware Cloud Web Security performs policy enforcement on the optimal path between users and their applications. In this session you will hear from industry analyst Zeus Kerravala, ZK Research about the changing landscape and trends for security in a work from anywhere world, and from Craig Connors, CTO, Service Provider & Edge, VMware, about VMware’s unique approach to SASE allowing enterprises to address emerging needs at the new distributed edge.

Hear from industry-leading experts from AT&T and VMware as they discuss the challenges and solutions for managing the converged edge. Learn how businesses can turn network transformation complexities into simplified solutions with SD-WAN and SASE technologies.

As networking and security become a more unified platform for secure access network, security technologists must modify business support process to enable these integrated solutions. Executives are increasingly recognizing that the real value is not a DIY solution, but the importance of partnering with a managed service provider who has demonstrated industry-leading success.

Business requirements are evolving to deliver any-user, any-device connectivity to any cloud, and any-application. This demands a digital transformation that is spanning distributed edge, data center, and cloud, and is enabled by a new digital foundation. The legacy WAN and security architecture in the middle of this transformation is obsolete and must undergo a drastic change to be part of the new digital foundation. Customers are rapidly adopting a new SASE architecture model predicted by Gartner.

As a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure in 2018 and 2019, VMware is positioned to enable organizations to transform their WAN edge, to build a new digital foundation for new application adoption, and to enable your work-from-anywhere initiatives.

Join this session to learn how VMware’s network transformation vision, along with its unique cloud gateways and SASE PoPs, delivers a SASE platform with intrinsic security, including ZTNA, for organizations embracing cloud and SaaS.

In Frost & Sullivan’s Global Cloud survey, 52% of the respondents said they have deployed Cloud IaaS and 42% said they currently use hybrid cloud. While cloud adoption continues to grow, enterprises have generally struggled to implement and maintain a secure, high-performing WAN that allows for efficient access to cloud-based applications across their user base. If you consider the distributed nature of enterprise applications, and now the increasingly distributed nature of employees working from home, the traditional branch networking method of backhauling traffic (from users and devices) to a centralized location is highly inefficient.

Furthermore, the rise in remote working and distributed users accessing cloud-hosted applications means that the enterprise perimeter is no longer limited to users within the company site. Think about it: if your applications are in the cloud, and the users are at home or at a branch location (spread across the globe), why is your organization’s security sitting at the headquarters location? The traditional model is time-consuming with subpar performance and a poor user experience. Secure Access Service Edge, or SASE, aims to address the need for a centralized, software-defined security architecture when the apps and users are highly distributed. SASE combines the flexibility of SD-WAN with a full suite of virtual security services, all delivered from the cloud.

Please join VMware and Frost & Sullivan for this webinar to learn about:

• Market trends driving the business case for SASE
• The power of networking and security together
• How VMware delivers a cloud-native networking and security solution

We’re living in an era of fast-paced digital transformation that’s accelerating thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) in the industrial sector. From Manufacturing, Distribution & Logistics, Transportation, and machinery, IoT systems are delivering new business insights and much more efficient ways of working. With estimates highlighting 50 billion devices being connected by 2030, the ability to manage them all is already proving challenging to network administrators. At the same time, security of both applications and infrastructure remains a strong concern.

Join Meriplex and VMware in this webcast to discuss how we can help you drive operational efficiency and leverage intelligent analytics for IoT as part of your overall network and security infrastructure while addressing challenges such as security, connectivity and scalability by using software-defined WAN (SD-WAN).
