Static routes are fundamental components in networking that help direct traffic efficiently from one network segment to another. In this blog, we will explore what static routes are, how they differ from dynamic routes, and how to configure them on routers like Cisco devices. How can I configure static routes?

The Cato Cloud converges WAN Optimization , SD-WAN , a global SLA-backed backbone and network security ( FWaaS ) – into a single cloud service. The convergence of security and networking domains accelerates the hard and soft benefits organizations can extract from their WAN transformation through gradual deployment.

Our 2018 survey included over 700 respondents from IT enterprises that currently run MPLS backbones. Organizations with far fewer locations and employees than Maersk are equally challenged with the complexity of securing the WAN that requires a plethora of costly hardware devices along with having staff with the skill sets to manage them all.

Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs) promised to address the high costs, rigidity and limitations of private MPLS services. SD-WANs reduce bandwidth costs, no doubt, but enterprises are still left having to address important issues around cloud, mobility, and security. Yes, there are good reasons for MPLS higher costs.

For the past two years, Cato Networks has led a revolution in enterprise networking: the convergence of software-defined wide area networks ( SD-WAN ) and network security delivered as a single cloud service. For decades, networking and security evolved as silos, creating separate point products in each category.

Improve Middle Mile Performance When MPLS (multiprotocol label switching) was the de facto WAN connectivity standard, enterprises often had a reliable, albeit expensive and inflexible, middle mile connection they could count on for enterprise-grade connectivity. The solution? This is exactly what Cato Cloud was purpose-built to do.

Position SD-WAN Devices to Support Users SD-WAN provides secure, optimized network routing between various locations. Often, organizations will deploy SD-WAN routers at their branch locations and near their cloud edge. When traffic is sent to the SD-WAN device, it selects the most optimal path based on network conditions.

As we discussed in our previous post, whereas with MPLS, networking teams had to wait weeks for new connections and days for bandwidth upgrades, SD-WANs use of DIA means new offices can be deployed in hours and days, and be reconfigured instantly. Of course, wed like to retain control over this network.

Gur Shatz, Catos co-founder, and I come from the networking and network security domains. These were largely untouched by the cloud and dominated by appliance-based solutions (routers, firewalls, etc.). The applications and infrastructure pillars of IT were continuously displaced by cloud-based services.

When it comes to SD-WAN, he concedes: Theres a huge business case that SD-WAN products are aiming to solve: replacing traditional MPLS/VPN networks with encrypted transport over public Internet.Internet access is often orders of magnitude cheaper than traditional circuits.

This is one of the reasons that, according to Gartner analyst Joe Skorupa , by 2020, more than half of WAN edge infrastructure refreshes will be based on SD-WAN versus traditional routers.

The new cross-connect enables a reliable and fast connection between our customers cloud instances and our PoPs that is entirely software-defined and doesnt require any routers, IPsec configuration, or virtual sockets. This is done by mapping a VLAN circuit from the customers Cato account to the customers tenant in the other cloud provider.
