Industry-leading SD-WAN technology from Nuage Networks delivers:
With the Nuage Managed SD-WAN Service, the CSP/SI can build a self-branded SD-WAN network service for their enterprise customers who require secure cloud native wide area networking. Since all of the service platform functions are provided by Nuage, the CSP/SI go-to-market process is simplified to:
Target enterprises with your self-branded SD-WAN (overlay) network service.
Procure IP transport (underlay) services for the enterprise branch locations from your own network assets or via connectivity partners. These can include a mix of fixed or mobile broadband IP services.
Design customer specific value-added IT services directly into the enterprises SD-WAN service instance with public cloud connections, Software as a Service connections and either inbuilt or third-party security services depending on the customer need or vendor preference.
Working alongside the Nuage Cloud Managed SD-WAN service team, create the overall customer SD-WAN service instance and put it into operation.
Day to day service management options for CSP/SI to manage each customer service instance or share management (co-manage) with enterprises that want shared control over their wide area network.
Across all industries, enterprises are adopting technology strategies to achieve the
business benefits of their digital transformation investments.
Building on the initial network transition and the move from IP-VPN to SD-WAN, has been the
integration of a comprehensive security framework that provides end-to-end policy
enforcement at every point of the wide area network.
Coined by industry analyst Gartner, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) complements SD-WAN by
adding a ‘Secure it’ framework to the ‘Connect it’ foundation of SD-WAN.
When deployed together, these two technologies form the unified network foundation and
security framework for enterprises so they can reap the benefit of their IT move to public
cloud(s) and their SaaS investments.
But Nuage Service Edge does more than cloud and
security, it provides dedicated function points that extend the reach and capability of the
enterprise network. This functional options include:
SE:CI is a focused set of functions that simplify the connections between the customer SD-WAN service instance and the Public Cloud providers. With support for both over the top and dedicated links to the cloud and interworking to the Public Clouds advanced networking features CSPs/SIs can deploy seamless enterprise networking from the branch to the cloud. Features include:
SE:CS provides interworking to the industry’s leading cloud based security suites (Security Services Edge -SSE) and cloud service access brokers (CASB). The solution is flexible and will be augmented via customer direction on which SSE solutions they need integrated into their managed SD-WAN service. Nuage SE:CS is built to accommodate open interworking with any SSE vendor and follows the Nuage vision of delivering open and flexible networking. The solution has formal certification with solutions, such as Zscaler and Check Point but has ongoing work to validate other solutions and can formalize these with customer demand.
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way enterprise networking was delivered across the world, and fast tracked the adoption of Hybrid working environments across all industries. Work From Home (WFH) is here to stay with many enterprises implementing permanent hybrid working policies.
SE:HW has two solutions to meet the needs of Enterprises wanting their hybrid workforce having the same IT services visibility and control as the office based employees. These include:
SD-WAN has delivered value for enterprises digitally transforming their business with its application aware branch to cloud networking foundations. And over time its extended its reach to include the hybrid workforce working remotely at home. What is missing from the SD-WAN solution has been enterprise devices attached to the 4G and 4G public wireless networks. These include enterprise supplied mobile phones and tablets and growing number of enterprise Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors.
SE:MD changes this by providing seamless interworking between the 4G/5G network and SD-WAN service. Aimed at CSPs/SIs that have access to their own or MVNO based mobile networks the SE:MD solution delivers a simplified operational model with full multi-tenancy to allow the CSP / SI to connect enterprise devices to shared SD-WAN APN/DDN (as an example (sd-wan.csp.com) where Nuage SE:MD will separate devices by enterprise and insert them into the enterprise specific SD-WAN service instance. For the CSP / SI this increases the reach of their market, opening up APN/DDN based mobile broadband to a wider set of enterprise customers, without increasing operational overhead. And for the enterprise this provides, for the first time, a single IT management domain that provides consistent IT network, application and security policies for all enterprise assets, regardless of location.
