NaaS provider Nitel added Versa Networks’ VersaONE universal SASE platform to its portfolio of network management and security solutions. The integration – which follows Nitel’s recent acquisition of WAN Dynamics – accelerates its NaaS vision.
Nitel is turning to Versa to expand its AI-powered, on-demand security and network management capabilities, a move that supports Nitel’s approach to delivering solutions that drive customer success. VersaONE will allow Nitel to address a wider span of enterprise customer needs through Versa’s deeper layer of network control, sophisticated routing capabilities and extensive security measures.
“Our recent moves, including the WAN Dynamics acquisition, give us significant momentum and we’re not stopping there,” said chief product officer, Mike Frane. “We are continuing to add innovative AI-powered network and security management technologies, such as what Versa delivers, to our NaaS solution to ensure we’re offering our partners and customers secure, high-performing access regardless of their device, network or location.”
Versa’s universal SASE platform targets enterprises that have needs that reach beyond basic connectivity and security. Its enhanced network, routing and security make the platform a match for larger organizations, as well as those with specific, complex network requirements that seek a blend of high-performance SD-WAN and robust security features under a single SASE framework. Founded by security and network industry veterans, Versa enables service providers and enterprises to transform WANs and branch networks to achieve business advantage.
“We are thrilled to enhance our partnership with Nitel as this collaboration signifies a new chapter of innovation and excellence for both our organizations,” said Hemen Mehta, VP of MSPs, Versa. “We look forward to expanding upon our long-standing, mutually beneficial partnership to not only accelerate Nitel’s NaaS vision by adding our advanced Universal SASE platform, but to work together to deliver AI-powered, on-demand security and network management capabilities.”
Integrating Versa’s SASE capabilities into Nitel’s NaaS solutions expands the benefits available to organizations, including:
- Customizable connectivity that evolves with business needs
- Managed services to reduce internal IT team burden
- Proactive network monitoring and management for performance and security
