For over a year, we’ve seen the steep ascension of SASE architecture. As business work to support the demands of our WFH reality, and provide connectivity for any user, to leverage any device, to access any cloud and any applications, the convergence of network and security is necessary – legacy WAN and security architecture simply won’t suffice.

 Organizations are faced with constructing a new digital foundation, comprising the data center, cloud and distributed edge, embrace transformation and look to future with a more modern, more SASE approach. When Gartner (News - Alert) coined the term SASE, there was certainly enthusiasm, and as it builds and the market takes shape, VMware is a Leader in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure, solidifying strong position is space bursting with opportunity.

On Tuesday, Nov 10 at 2:00pm EST VMware’s Vivian Clark and Vinod Kumar (News - Alert) Balasubramanyam will join me for the webinar, “SASE in a Work from Anywhere World: Why It Matters,” where we will unpack the VMware SASE Platform, exploring how to deploy a modern cloud-first architecture and be prepared to support the digital-first workforce. From its unique cloud VMware SD-WAN Gateways to the SASE PoP, the platform promises a zero trust network access (ZTNA) model.

SASE is rapidly evolving from an, if to when proposition. Connectivity, security and performance are naturally linked, and SASE offers a path to true convergence and the peace of mind in possessing a future-proof network.
