SWITCHING
Edge Switching
Address growing enterprise demands for high availability, unified communications, and virtualization with cloud-grade switches designed for the converged enterprise branch, campus, and data center, and for service providers.
Network Automation
Automate network and security provisioning to configure, scale, protect, and integrate network infrastructure and application services more quickly than when performed manually by users. Speed deployment through the complete application lifecycles and across data center and cloud environments.
Campus Fabric
Campus networks continue to become more business-critical, as their complexity increases. They’re more difficult to operate as mobile, IoT, and cloud initiatives are added. Ensure your network and security policies consistently accommodate new users and devices and keep productivity and efficiency high.
Data Center
Provide the high-performance, high-density platforms required to build innovative data center fabrics that scale to thousands of ports.
Identity and Access Control
Guarantee the right users have access to the right information from the right place at the right time.
SD WAN, MPLS
Software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) solutions have evolved from a WAN infrastructure, providing Application Awareness, Dynamic Path Selection, & Centralized Orchestration.
Transform your organization’s capabilities by leveraging the corporate wide-area network (WAN) as well as multi-cloud connectivity to deliver high-speed application performance at the WAN edge of branch sites. One of the chief benefits of SD-WAN is that it provides a dynamic path selection among connectivity options—MPLS, 4G/5G, or broadband—ensuring organizations can quickly and easily access business-critical cloud applications.
An SD-WAN solution connects users to any application wherever it resides from the data center to the cloud. SD-WAN intelligently determines which path best meets the ideal performance needs for a specific application. It then routes the traffic through to the ideal WAN path, whereas traditional WAN architectures only have the ability to route all applications through MPLS.
CASB - Cloud Access Security Broker
This allows you to enforce security policies for personal devices accessing corporate networks. Sitting between users and their cloud service, CASB allows deeper visibility into strange or unusual user activity and provides control over cloud usage.
4 Pillars of CASBs: Visibility / Compliance / Data Security /Threat protection
The threat landscape rapidly evolves, and with blended threats, multiple exploits, and obfuscation technologies that make detection more difficult, organizations need solutions that make protecting their data and users easier. CASBs are increasingly important to providing protection against malware and phishing attacks, securing access to cloud services, and ensuring cloud application security.
Network Assessment
Let us break it down for you. A network assessment is a detailed report and analysis of your company’s existing IT infrastructure, management, security, processes, and performance.
Secure Remote Access for Teleworking and Cloud Access, SASE
Organizations need to provide remote users with more than just a secure connection back to the core network or datacenter resources. An increasing number of applications are also being hosted in the cloud, and rather than backhauling those applications through the core network, organizations need to consider providing secure remote connectivity directly to those applications. Direct connectivity will not only reduce the load on the network, but also improve overall user experience, especially for high-bandwidth or latency-sensitive applications.
Identity and Access Management
Identify users entering the network with high reliability. Secure authentication is key in the implementation of an effective security policy—many of today’s most damaging security breaches have been due to compromised user accounts and passwords. These breaches have been exacerbated by users with inappropriate levels of access.
