New Insight Into SASE from the Recent Gartner® Report on Impact Radar: Communications

CATO Networks

There are components of SASE, such as some of the networking features with SD-WAN, that reside on-premises, but everything that can be served from cloud edge should be. SASE is evolving from five contributing security and network segments: software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN), firewall, SWG, CASB and ZTNA.

The Carrier Cloud Needs a New Fabric, Not a Patched Cloth

CATO Networks

With MPLS revenue streams at risk, the carriers are pursuing a two-prong strategy: augmenting MPLS with Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) and adding value-add services to the core network with Network Function Virtualization (NFV). SD-WAN offers a good way for carriers to augment their MPLS services.
