Overview

The cloud era has arrived. Organizations are increasingly transitioning business critical applications from on-premises data centers to the public cloud and SaaS environments. While compute, storage and applications have comprehensively evolved beyond virtualization and automation to simple as-a-service offerings, the network and security have not. Modern enterprises fully realize the critical necessity to bring network and security into the cloud era and allow IT organizations to empower the digital transformation moving at the speed of rapidly evolving business needs.

The Challenge

Building a secure, scalable and resilient cloud network that connects together remote users, on-premises locations, and AWS VPCs is many times a daunting and frustrating experience. Inserting next generation firewalls to enforce organizational security policy for the cloud applications adds even further complexity.

An innovative solution is needed to address the challenges around networking and security for the cloud
