VMware SASE™ converges cloud networking and cloud security service to deliver flexibility, agility, and scale for enterprises of all sizes.

As enterprises adopt SaaS and Internet applications, today’s anywhere workforce is exposed to a changing threat landscape. IT needs visibility into sanctioned and unsanctioned applications, exercising control and compliance while protecting users and infrastructure. VMware Cloud Web Security is a cloud hosted service of VMware SASE that ensures users can access their applications without the fear of threats or concern about compliance – and IT can keep the agile workforce productive.

Catalyst for Cloud Migration

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.

Agile Security for a Dynamic Distributed Workforce: VMware Cloud Web Security

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

Networking and Security are Converging in the Cloud: Are you Ready?

Secure and Optimize Your Network to Work From Anywhere

What happens when you suddenly have to support 80% of your users working from home? With many enterprise employees working remotely, companies need to quickly deploy a work from anywhere solution to provide people the same user and application experience as if they were in the office.

Join this session to get an in-depth understanding of how VMware SD-WAN™ can help deploy a large number of VMware SD-WAN Edges quickly and efficiently into home environments. Our Technical Product Manager will discuss features that enable this quick rollout, including:

• Zero-touch provisioning
• Prioritizing business-critical traffic over home traffic
• Default business policies and custom application definition
• Dynamic Multipath Optimization™
• Securing the network and locking down corporate resources

Large-scale SD-WAN deployment: How do you roll out 9000 edges in 9 days?

The World Bank predicted that the global economy will grow 4% in 2021, with emerging markets outpacing developed ones. The recovery within and across countries will be sporadic given the risks and uncertainties of outbreaks and new COVID-19 strains. Companies that operate in such a global environment will need to be even more agile to quickly enter new markets, expand, downsize, or exit totally when necessary. It is thus critical for IT to support business with a software-based network architecture that can quickly enable the workforce and reduce capacity when downsizing occurs. 

Join us in this webinar where CITIC Telecom CPC and VMware will discuss how we can help you to be more agile and competitive in such uncertain times.

Rise Above Uncertain Times with SD-WAN

Tolly benchmarked the quality of service and remediation capabilities of VMware SD-WAN to improve the end user experience for VoIP and work from home (WFH) applications. They found that VMware SD-WAN can remediate packet loss and deliver a high-quality experience, even under adverse network conditions. The results showed that there’s an improvement of up to 45% in the quality of a VoIP call with a 2% packet loss. In addition, in a WFH environment, the results showed an improved download time by up to 71%.

Boost Your Work from Home Experience

In the 2019 Frost & Sullivan Global Cloud end-user survey, 57% of the respondents indicated they have deployed Cloud IaaS and 41% say they currently use SaaS applications. Increase application availability or uptime, and deliver applications faster to users, are among the top five reasons businesses are embracing cloud. However, implementing and maintaining a secure, high performing WAN that allows for efficient access to cloud-based applications can be costly and complex for enterprises, whether large or small. SD-WAN solutions automate the process of network selection and put traffic steering control in the hands of your organization’s network administrators to do direct internet breakout to cloud-based applications.

VMware SD-WAN offers a unique approach of a cloud-hosted SD-WAN service with cloud-based gateways that complements branch deployments that provides connectivity for cloud and SaaS applications while eliminating the challenges of deploying and maintaining SD-WAN appliances in the cloud. The SD-WAN gateway approach has been even more significant in the current COVID-19 situation as remote workers connect to cloud over residential broadband links.

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

• How SD-WAN plays a critical role in Cloud connectivity
• The value of extending SD-WAN to remote workers
• Why VMware's SD-WAN Gateway approach is unique and delivers superior value for cloud networking

Operational Assurance for IoT Devices with VMware Edge Network Intelligence™

Rapid expansion of remote work has put IT networking and security teams in constant overdrive. This is too big a stage for traditional VPN and networking infrastructure. The new way of working is causing unplanned demands on infrastructure and bad user experience, which decreases business output and creates security risks from unsecured devices, as an example. In this session, we will introduce VMware Secure Access™, part of the VMware SASE Platform™ that combines the best of VMware Workspace ONE and VMware SD-WAN™ to provide remote access as a service to our remote and mobile users.

Deliver Better Remote Access with VMware SASE Platform

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.
