NewEdge Network
features and benefits

NewEdge Network provides unparalleled service coverage, performance, and resilience.

AI-optimized performance without trade-offs

NewEdge AI Fast Path is purpose-built to optimize connectivity to modern AI applications, reducing latency, improving resilience, lowering transit costs, and delivering a secure, high-performance experience for enterprise AI workloads. NewEdge AI Fast Path techniques enable greater performance and efficiency for even the most demanding AI applications. Specific benefits include:

Faster AI responses by minimizing time-to-first-token (TTFT) from prompt to answer
Accelerated agentic AI workflows through high-speed processing of multi-step, iterative tasks
Optimized LLM performance when accessing large volumes of distributed enterprise data
Improved retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) by strengthening connectivity between models and external data sources for higher-quality, real-time outputs

With NewEdge AI Fast Path, organizations no longer have to choose between speed and security—they get both, delivered at the edge.

A seamless digital experience from anywhere in the world with localization zones

Localization Zones extend NewEdge coverage to 220+ countries and territories, ensuring a seamless local experience for users—including language support and geo-compliance—regardless of the data center from which traffic egresses. Backed by NewEdge’s full-stack, globally distributed infrastructure (including Mainland China), this ensures fast, secure access to web, cloud, SaaS, and private apps from anywhere—without performance trade-offs.

Ensuring business continuity with an architecture built for availability and service resilience

Netskope’s NewEdge platform ensures seamless connectivity—even during ISP outages or “black swan” events. Using rich endpoint and network telemetry, NewEdge proactively detects disruptions and uses its unique Route Control technology to automatically route around issues for optimal performance and availability. In addition, with NewEdge Traffic Management 2.0 (also known as GSLB), users are automatically connected to the nearest, best-performing data center and get re-connected automatically—in just seconds without human intervention—when issues arise.

Key capabilities that make this possible:

Selection of premium transit providers and an aggressive interconnection strategy for the best user and application experience
Dynamic Route control to route around issues and always prioritize the optimal end-to-end traffic path
Innovative GSLB technology and Auto Failout (AFO) to resolve issues without manual intervention

Architecture matters for business continuity

Maximum deployment flexibility for any network architecture

Netskope offers unmatched deployment flexibility, enabling organizations to on-ramp traffic to NewEdge regardless of network architecture, user location, or device type. It also embraces both single- and dual-vendor SASE deployments, integrating seamlessly with existing IT environments. With NewEdge, enterprises gain a deployment model designed for agility, resilience, and high performance—wherever users and applications reside.

Traffic can be steered through several options:

Netskope One Client and clientless access for both managed and unmanaged devices
Tunnels, including IPsec and GRE, to integrate with existing SD-WAN investments (including its very own Netskope One SD-WAN solution)
Public and private peering, including private network interconnects with NewEdge Express Connect, for the highest performance even with high traffic volumes
Native support for dedicated egress IPs assigning unique, customer-specific IPs per data center to bolster network security and provide conditional access to critical SaaS apps
