The rapid shift to remote work following the onset of the pandemic early this year helped to accelerate Versa Network’s SD-WAN and secure access service edge (SASE) platforms in a new market: the home, said CMO Mike Wood in an interview with SDxCentral.
Wood claims the pandemic drove a 100-fold increase in home use of either its SD-WAN or SASE platforms since the beginning of the year. And while Wood didn’t disclose raw numbers, Gartner estimates that Versa had more than 5,000 global SD-WAN customers by the end of September 2020. Additionally Gartner reports that Versa has managed to outpace the rest of the market.
And further bolstering the claim, Wood boasted that more than 200 Tb/s of traffic is now flowing from home offices through its SASE points of presence information technology vs computer science. “Quite honestly most of it has been driven by the pandemic. There is no question about that,” he said. “If 2020 had been a normal year we certainly don’t think there would have been a 100x increase.”
