When more of the workforce shifts to working remotely, it puts new and different strains on the infrastructure across different parts of the network, especially where VPN gateways connect to the network edge. This could mean the users are saturating the internet connectivity or that they’ve saturated the LAN (or maybe WAN).

But whats particularly interesting for anyone moving away from a global MPLS network or otherwise looking at WAN transformation is the impact NaaS will have on evolving the enterprise backbone. NaaS offerings may include elements such as network switches, routers, gateways and firewalls. But SASE alone cant replace MPLS.

I assume, for peer IP we use, is the wan interface of the Cisco ASA and not the gateway of the ISP correct? Also, all routes should go to the same IP of the wan interface correct?

Many enterprises are replacing their fixed MPLS wide area networks (WANs) with virtualized software-defined WANs (SD-WANs) to reduce costs. Alongside that shift, 5G offers sufficient capacity and reliability to provide an additional path to support an SD-WAN, providing greater coverage, particularly for remote sites.

This is a network architecture configuration where traffic is directed from a VPN client to the corporate network and also through a gateway to link with the Internet.

Some of the ways in which VPNs fall short include: Access Management: VPNs are designed to provide an authenticated user with full access to the corporate network, simply creating an encrypted tunnel from the users machine to the VPN endpoint. Without built-in access controls, VPNs cannot enforce zero trusts least privilege access policies.

This has necessitated a rethink of the WAN architecture.

For most organizations, the cloud is a critical piece of their transformation.
