I read with some surprise the interview with Zscalers CEO, Jay Chaudry, in CRN where he stated that the network firewalls will go the way of the mainframe, that the network is just plumbing and that Zscaler proxy overlay architecture will replace it with its application switchboard. This is my take. The idea behind Cato is simple.

The fact is, global MPLS services arent implemented in a way that accommodates the new realities of wide area networking needs. Clearly, an alternative is needed, but its not the public Internet. When looking at a global deployment, the Internet is too unpredictable.

The trend in engineering and capacity planning applies as well to wide-area network (WAN) service assurance, where network flow data is also essential. Many enterprises are, for example, replacing managed WAN services like MPLS with public internet connections at remote sites. Advanced network analytics.

MPLS networks have been the standard configuration for enterprise networks for years, providing predictability and availability. MPLS is much more expensive compared to standard Internet, and can take anywhere from 60-120 days to provision. MPLS also doesnt address cloud or mobile traffic, which is a major issue for enterprises.

MPLS cost reduction is the target of the emerging SD-WAN market that is bustling with solutions looking to take the corporate wide area network to a whole new level. MPLS isnt encrypted by default: MPLS relies on the carrier private network for security because the data doesnt flow on the public Internet.

The patchwork of appliances and network services comprising our wide area networks (WAN) have been with us for so long its easy to overlook their impact on IT. And while SD-WAN helps simplify the network in many ways, alone its insufficient, requiring other appliances that collectively increase complexity.

Weve been discussing the impact the dissolving perimeter has had on networking and IT. Rather than IT playing this kind of shell game on itself, IT should evaluate WAN architectures holistically and look at the quality of experience, availability, security, cost, agility, manageability, and extensibility of the network.
