Let’s face it, your remote connectivity architecture isn’t going to cut it for much longer. Maybe you struggle with providing uniform secure optimized access, or with a patchwork of multi-vendor policies, or with network blind spots across all remote users, devices, sites, and clouds. One or all of these issues can lead to a situation that would significantly impact digital business operations. Fortunately, there’s a better way. Netskope Borderless SD-WAN offers an architecture that converges zero trust principles and assured application performance to provide unprecedented secure, high-performance connectivity for every site, cloud, remote user, and IoT device..
A storm is brewing at the corporate edge
To understand why Borderless SD-WAN is needed, we must first remember where we’ve come from.
One-to-one connectivity: In the early 2000s, enterprises backhauled all traffic from a branch office to data centers, typically over a dedicated MPLS link in a one-to-one connectivity model.
One-to-many connectivity: As the number of applications grew and applications migrated to the cloud, those routing paths became ever more nonsensical. SD-WAN came onto the scene, augmenting MPLS with high-bandwidth inexpensive internet links, allowing users in branches to connect directly to distributed on-premise and SaaS applications rather than circuitously routing all traffic through the enterprise network.
Many-to-many Connectivity: Today, we have entered a new era of borderless enterprise in which users, devices, sites, and clouds are all connected in numerous ways. We have a remote-first perspective and have moved beyond the four walls of the traditional corporate office. The growth of micro-branches, multi-cloud, remote-work, telehealth, mobile fleet, and IoT assets in manufacturing, are examples of how the perimeter has expanded. The momentum and direction are clear, but in this era, legacy network architectures are lagging and weighing us down. The enterprise network was never designed for this world. It requires a rethinking of how we build the modern network, that allows for networking and security to tightly integrate, security delivered from the cloud based on zero trust principles—this is what Gartner called secure access services edge (SASE).
Simply put, existing networking and security technologies that have been shoehorned into enterprise infrastructures. They either create, or simply aren’t built to overcome, the following challenges.
- You can’t patch your way to a better network: Many IT architects are now grappling with having to manage multiple point-based remote connectivity solutions like remote access, SD-WAN, Wireless WAN, or multi-cloud deployments that often underperform and lack centralized management and visibility. These disparate technologies are forced to work together, often proving to be overly complicated from both an end-user and ITOps perspective. Fragmented architecture results in an inability to apply uniform security or quality of experience (QoE) policy across all users, devices, sites, and clouds. Compa
