Versa Networks and Google Cloud Accelerate Secure Access to
Cloud Workloads and Branch Offices
Versa SASE Delivers Unparalleled Secure SD-WAN Connectivity with Google Cloud
Network Connectivity Center, Providing Security and Network Control that
Reduces Total Costs of Ownership
Versa Networks, the leader in SASE, 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.
