Accelerate your SASE adoption with Versa
Secure, Smart, and Simple solution designed to meet the needs of businesses moving to the cloud
Versa SASE Overview
Versa SASE reduces the cost, time, and complexity of distributed environments by integrating security, networking, SD-WAN, multitenancy, and analytics via the cloud, on-premises, or a combination of both. Versa SASE meets the requirements for small to large enterprises and service providers, providing enhanced user/network/application visibility with policy-based control for protection and delivering optimal user/application performance.
Why Versa SASE:
- Single pane of glass management interface for cloud and on-premises networking and security
- Integrated software image (VOS) runs all networking, security, and analytics services in the cloud and on-premises
- Single-pass parallel processing architecture reduces latency, improves performance, and reduces attack surface and vectors
- Consistent policy and features via common design and architecture for networking, security, and analytics across cloud, on-premises, and client
- Multi-tenancy enables separation between every tenant extended to every branch site and client for granular roles and segmentation
- Flexible deployment options available via the cloud, on-premises, or as a blended combination of both

Versa on Dell EMC Virtual Edge Platform (VEP) Diagram
The diagram illustrates a Versa on Dell EMC Virtual Edge Platform (VEP) setup. It shows a central Versa node connecting to various network elements. These include LTE (SD-WAN) Optional, Dell VEP, Direct Internet Access #1 (SD-WAN), MPLS or DIA (SD-WAN) Optional, and a POE Switch. The Versa node is depicted with multiple functionalities: SD-WAN, Router, NGFW + UTM, and LTE. Additionally, Wi-Fi APs are shown connecting to the network.
