Viptela Partners With Zscaler in Industry-First Integration of SD-WAN and Cloud Security Infrastructure

SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwired) — 11/19/14 — , a software-centric networking company, announced a partnership with , the Internet security company, to jointly address two critical components of the enterprise infrastructure: connectivity and security. The partnership combines Viptela–s SD-WAN technology with Zscaler–s cloud-based Internet security platform to deliver a best-in-class infrastructure to power and protect cloud, SaaS and Internet applications.

The biggest bottlenecks for optimal performance of cloud applications are the presence of rigid and complex routing and security infrastructures within the enterprise. Enterprise traffic going to the cloud has traditionally used inefficient paths through a centralized DMZ in order to securely exit to the Internet. The complexity of the traditional enterprise infrastructure causes more problems than just application performance; it also leads to poor security, high operational costs and lengthy delays in deploying new applications.

Viptela–s technologies for virtualizing the WAN allow enterprises to modernize and optimize their infrastructure for agility and high performance. The integration with Zscaler–s Internet security platform provides customers with a safe on-ramp to the Internet and cloud applications. The Viptela Secure Extensible Network (SEN), developed in response to infrastructure costs and application performance issues at Fortune 500 companies, has demonstrated the following advantages:

Deployment times for new applications reduced by 50 to 75 percent

Application performance improved by 2X and higher

Most importantly, costs dropped by 50 percent in typical deployments

“Deployed and trusted by more than 5,000 corporate, government, and military customers across the globe, Zscaler–s Internet security platform provides robust protection and compliance for organizations that are embracing cloud computing, mobility and the Internet of things,” said Punit Minocha, vice president of business development at Zscaler. “They demand ironclad security and high performance with compelling economics — without compromise. Viptela–s comprehensive approach to solving the WAN challenges enables us to jointly deliver on these bigger demands from CIOs.”

“The push for such a partnership has actually come from our customers,” said Amir Khan, CEO of Viptela. “Cloud performance remains in the spotlight across industries, especially when implementing Office365. Our respective solutions are successfully addressing these performance bottlenecks. But more importantly, customers are witnessing a higher level of infrastructure agility from a combined solution, essentially magnifying the operational cost savings. Evolving the infrastructure for new growth opportunities is what makes our partnership very valuable to the enterprise.”
