Additional NewEdge data centres will increase capacity & coverage to better serve in-region & multinational enterprise customers
LONDON, UK – May 20th, 2021 – Netskope, the SASE leader, today announced expansion of the Netskope NewEdge network across Europe and the Middle East, with new data centres brought online in Manchester, UK; Marseilles, France; Zurich, Switzerland; and Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. All of the additional presence and capacity has been activated in direct response to customer demand, as enterprises worldwide embrace a SASE vision of converged security and networking while recognising the performance improvements that NewEdge delivers.
The NewEdge network is a critical component of Netskope’s Security Cloud, enabling the company to on-ramp user traffic as quickly as possible, perform the real-time inline traffic processing required for security and data protection purposes, then speed user access to the web, cloud or SaaS apps they need to do their job. All of this is ultimately important for avoiding performance trade-offs when delivering security and data protection, protecting against web- and cloud-based security threats.
Netskope’s growth in Europe and the Middle East is pacing alongside similar expansion in other regions, in order to address headquarter, branch, remote office and remote worker needs for some of the world’s largest businesses. Expanded APAC NewEdge coverage was recently announced in Australia, New Zealand, The Philippines and Singapore.
NewEdge offers direct peering with the most commonly used web, cloud and SaaS providers to maintain the highly connected nature of the Netskope network. For example, every NewEdge data centre is directly connected with Microsoft and Google to deliver a superior user experience and high-performance application experience. With hundreds of network adjacencies – putting NewEdge on par with leading web brands like Netflix and Apple – this focus on direct peering and interconnection makes Netskope NewEdge the most well-connected network for cloud-native data security, based on public rankings.
