“As cloud and mobile work scenarios increase, secure data communications surpass traditional VPNs and premise-based gateways,” wrote Gartner analysts John Girard and Jeremy D–Hoinne. Cato Networks believes that the guide validates its cloud-based approach to secure network communications, and is part of a new class of entrants into this established space.
The Cato Cloud is the industry–s first universal WAN — one connecting all enterprise locations, mobile users, and physical and cloud datacenters.
No longer is there a need for separate platforms and policies for connecting these distinct infrastructure elements. Now, there–s one WAN for all enterprise needs.
“For too long, companies with secure networking needs had to invest in mobility infrastructure that required separate policies, personnel and procedures from the WAN. This led to higher costs and a great deal of complexity,” said Gur Shatz, co-founder and CTO of Cato Networks. “The Cato Cloud solves this problem by holistically connecting all components in a single, secure, cloud-based network with full visibility and control over traffic, reducing costs and streamlining management.”
Cato meets mobile users– demands by providing in physical and cloud datacenters, cloud applications, and internet sites. As Gartner–s Market Guide notes, “Conventional VPN and application designs that depend on steady, well-performing communications do not meet the needs of mobile users and will continue to drive interest for alternate app-level secure communications.”
The enables secure site-to-site connectivity through with an instant full mesh in the cloud, and a for seamless integration between multiple cloud and on-premises datacenters. This dramatically reduces cost and the need for individual appliances and point solutions, while increasing scalability and security.
