The SD-WAN and SASE landscape is evolving. Not only are more businesses across all industries seeing the benefits of greater transparency, more flexibility and scalability across their networks, but we are also seeing an influx of non-pure play SD-WAN vendors entering the marketplace.
As your trusted partner, Redvine Networks is committed to keeping you informed about significant industry developments that may impact not only our services, but also your business. We are writing to update you on a strategic move that has the potential to reshape the landscape of cloud networking solutions in South Africa.
The acquisition by Broadcom marked a significant milestone in the evolution of network infrastructure and services and promises to bring enhanced capabilities and innovative solutions to the market. At the same time, we are aware that there have been some misleading claims from vendors like Fortinet, and others in the marketplace.
VeloCloud, has been and continues to be a key player in the SD-WAN space, offering cutting-edge technology that simplifies operations and ensures efficient, secure connections across distributed environments and has a longstanding track record including:
We are excited by the developments that we are starting to see including the establishment of a Software Defined Edge (SDE) division dedicated to SD-WAN and SASE. The SDE division:
The VCO has evolved to VECO which now offers EFS (Enhanced Firewall Services), Cloud Security (which includes DLP, ZTNA, CASB etc), Endpoint Protection, Advanced Analytics among others. The impact on existing services should be seen as positive, providing enhanced network and security capabilities, improved connectivity and a streamlined experience that brings together the strengths of VeloCloud and Redvine.
At Redvine we recognise the importance of staying ahead of the curve – it is why we were amongst the first to deploy VeloCloud in South Africa, and across Africa, and continue to see the immense value it brings to organisations, like yours, who are looking for a software-led solution.
Today, we have VeloCloud Gateways and POPs in more than 9 countries across Africa, and we are aggressively expanding this presence to other geographies, including Australia, Europe and the US.
As a licensed operator of VeloCloud, we are committed to not only expanding our presence throughout Africa, delivering SD-WAN and SASE services, but further leveraging the advancements as part of Broadcom’s continued investment in VeloCloud. Our goal remainsthe same – to ensure seamless connectivity and security across your operations.
We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead, we believe that VeloCloud offers a significant and superior solution to customers who are looking for best-of-breed, market leading pure play SD-WAN.
