Netsurion Upgrades Its SD-WAN With a Unified Network Management, Security Orchestration Platform

Less than a year after the launch of its Connect SD-WAN, Netsurion is upgrading the service with an all-in-one consolidated network management and security orchestration platform for distributed businesses. That product is branded BranchSDO, for branch software-defined orchestration. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based company was formed in 1989 to sell specialized security technology to multi-tenant enterprises. Last March, it branched into SD-WAN with the launch of its Connect SD-WAN product that combined network connectivity, security, and management. However, it’s now moving away from the term SD-WAN with its new software-defined branch service, according to John Ayers, vice president of product at Netsurion. “What we found with SD-WAN is that we’re not [just] SD-WAN; we’re not CloudGenix, we’re not Bigleaf, we’re not Viptela, or Velocloud, or any of those guys,” he said. “We started to look in the mirror and say look, we don’t want to be in that argument, we don’t want to be in that conversation because that’s not who we are.” Enter BranchSDO. Netsurion considers BranchSDO to be an evolution or the next iteration of its Connect SD-WAN, expanding the service to include edge optimization and secure connectivity. “This evolution took us to our niche, what we think is our market segment,” Ayers said. “So we’re not getting in the fight with the other five or six or everyone talking about SD-WAN — we’re really carving out our own slice of the market.” BranchSDO combines a number of Netsurion’s offerings to optimize edge network connectivity, security, scalability, and costs for branch locations. It will also optimize for IoT applications. The idea being that “what’s next for SD-WAN is really removing the handcuffs off of the branch and allowing this resilient, agile security solution that also delivers compliance” across a customer’s network, said Ayers.
