Versa Networks, the leader in SASE, today announced that TMC, a global, integrated media company helping clients build communities in print, in person and online, has named Versa SASE as a 2021 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award winner.
Versa SASE delivers tightly integrated SASE via the cloud, on-premises, or as a blended combination of both via Versa Operating System (VOS™) with a Single-Pass Parallel Processing architecture and managed through a single pane of glass. Versa began delivering SASE services such as VPN, Secure SD-WAN, Edge Compute Protection, Next-Generation Firewall, Next-Generation Firewall as a Service, Secure Web Gateway, and Zero Trust Network Access 5 years ago. Versa uniquely provides contextual security based on user, role, device, application, location, security posture of the device, and content. As the leader in the fastest growing security and networking category, SASE, and executing on SASE services for years, Versa is the only solution proven to deliver the industry’s leading and differentiated architecture for high performance and security. Gartner has identified Versa SASE as having the most SASE components out of all 56 vendors Gartner evaluated. Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) also found that Versa SASE has the most SASE supported functions, as published in its recent industry report.
“It gives me great pleasure to honor Versa Networks as a 2021 recipient of TMC’s Unified Communications Product of the Year Award for their innovative solution, Versa SASE,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “Our judges were very impressed with the ingenuity and excellence displayed by Versa in their ground-breaking work on Versa SASE.”
Winners of the 2021 Unified Communications Product of the Year Awards are highlighted in INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine online.
“It is an honor to receive the 2021 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award, recognizing Versa SASE for uniquely integrating networking, security and communications SASE services via the cloud – or if customers prefer delivered on-premises or as a blended combination of both,” said Michael Wood, Chief Marketing Officer for Versa Networks. “Versa SASE adoption continues to rapidly expand worldwide in 2021, and its differentiated tightly integrated SASE solution has been recognized and validated industrywide with leadership positions in industry analyst reports and a growing collection of awards won. Versa is the modern secure network.”
Unlike competing solutions, Versa SASE was built from the ground up to deliver a tightly integrated SASE solution within a single software stack managed via a single interface, eliminating service chaining, cascading, and virtual interconnect between services, which is required by competitors. Competing solutions have hidden costs and gaps in security because they require multiple product and service components. Achieving visibility and control from solutions requiring service chaining to connect multiple components together proves ineffective, increasing the costs and attack surfaces for organizations.
Versa SASE runs on VOS, which is designed with the Versa Single-Pass Parallel Processing architecture combining extensive security, advanced networking, industry leading SD-WAN, genuine multitenancy, and sophisticated analytics into one software image. This integration and design methodology dramatically decreases latency, significantly improves performance, and mitigates security vulnerabilities which other solutions introduce by running multiple software stacks, service chains, or appliances.
