Versa, the global leader in Universal Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), today announced that Frost & Sullivan has named it the 2024 Company of the Year in the Global SD-WAN Infrastructure Industry. The Frost & Sullivan Company of the Year Best Practices Award is its top honor and recognizes the market participant that exemplifies visionary innovation, market-leading performance, and unmatched customer care.
Frost & Sullivan applies a rigorous analytical process to evaluate multiple nominees for each award category before determining the final recipient. The process involves a detailed evaluation of best practices criteria across the Visionary Innovation & Performance and Customer Impact dimensions for each nominated company. A complimentary copy of the 2024 Company of the Year in the Global SD-WAN Infrastructure Industry report is available at https://versa-networks.com/resources/reports/2024-best-practices-award-frost-sullivan-names-versa-company-of-the-year-in-global-sd-wan-infrastructure-industry/.
According to Leandro Agion, Frost & Sullivan Industry Director, “Frost & Sullivan analysts observe how Versa is properly committed to innovation around the convergence of networking, security, and analytics through a single software operating system. Versa is a much more agile vendor, launching solutions before its competitors; for instance, it recently launched the only SASE solution for SIM cards in the market…Versa offers faster and deeper AI integration than competitors, and, perhaps more importantly, can use a single AI tool to control both networking and security functions.”
Versa Secure SD-WAN is a comprehensive networking solution that provides end-to-end visibility, control, and security by integrating software-defined networking (SDN) and advanced security services into the VersaONE™ Universal SASE platform. Versa has consistently been recognized by leading analyst firms for its innovative and robust solutions, including recently being named as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SD-WAN for the fifth consecutive year.
Agion further added, “A unique feature of Versa’s SD-WAN solution is that it is fully software-based, whereas most other competitors offer a combination of software and purpose-built hardware. The strength of its solution does not lie in using specific hardware. The solution components are all software; as such, they can coexist with other virtual network functions (VNFs). Compared to competitor approaches, Versa’s software solution offers cost savings and flexibility to enterprise customers.”
“We are thrilled to be validated as the leading company in the global SD-WAN industry by Frost & Sullivan,” said Dan Maier, Versa CMO. “Versa serves more than 30,000 SD-WAN enterprise customers, and they count on us to continually deliver innovative capabilities that reliably address the networking and security requirements of their evolving environments and use cases.”
