Solution overview


Versa SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a comprehensive networking solution designed to simplify and enhance enterprise network connectivity and performance across multiple locations. It combines the flexibility of software-defined networking with the scalability of wide area networks, offering several key features:

Traffic Optimization: Versa SD-WAN intelligently routes traffic across the WAN, ensuring optimal path selection for different types of data, which improves performance and reduces latency.

Centralized Management: It allows for centralized control and visibility of the entire network, making it easier to manage and configure network devices and policies from a single location.

Improved Security: Integrated security features, including encryption, firewalls, and secure gateways, protect the network from external threats and ensure safe data transmission across the WAN.

Bandwidth Efficiency: By leveraging technologies like compression and WAN optimization, Versa SD-WAN maximizes the efficiency of existing bandwidth, reducing the need for costly bandwidth upgrades.

Quality of Service (QoS): Prioritization of critical applications and data ensures that important traffic like VoIP or video conferencing runs smoothly, even during high network demand.

Cost Savings: Versa SD-WAN can reduce costs by utilizing less expensive broadband connections for non-critical traffic, while maintaining critical traffic on more reliable, but costly, links like MPLS.

Flexibility and Scalability: It supports a range of connectivity options, including MPLS, LTE, and broadband, making it easy to scale up or down based on the organization's needs.

Zero-Touch Provisioning: This feature allows for remote deployment and configuration of devices, significantly reducing the time and complexity involved in setting up new branches or remote locations.

Cloud Integration: Versa SD-WAN is designed to work seamlessly with cloud services and applications, ensuring efficient access and optimal performance for cloud-based resources.

Overall, Versa SD-WAN offers a versatile, secure, and efficient way to manage enterprise-wide networks, especially for organizations with multiple branches or those heavily reliant on cloud services.
