Versa Releases Cloud-Managed SD-WAN Branch and Security

Versa Networks released a cloud-managed SD-WAN branch and security service designed for managed service providers and mid-market enterprises. Alongside the Versa Titan offering, it released Versa Cloud Services Gateway, a series of appliances that provide security and SD-WAN. In conversation at MWC Barcelona, Versa CEO Kelly Ahuja said that the company is focused on solving the problems of enterprise networks. “The whole architecture of what they have to do is [to] evolve and change and that’s the problem we solve for them. Giving them the tools and abilities to simplify the network, scale the deployment to what they need to, and ease their operation and at a much lower cost.” At that time, Ahuja also noted that when Versa was founded in 2012, it placed two strategic bets: “One was that security was going to be needed for this site-to-site and site-to-cloud construct as you connect that site directly to the internet; the second part is we actually bet on going to market with service providers, and that’s starting to actually pay off.” Versa Titan leverages both of these bets by providing SD-WAN and software-defined management tools for visibility into security flaws and vulnerabilities, application behavior, network performance, and bandwidth utilization.
