Cloud connected

Adopting a combination of on-premise, off-premise and public cloud capabilities is the only way to keep up with the rapid market changes digital disruption is driving. The ATC is a replica of that ever-changing landscape with integration into all three major Cloud Service Providers, leveraging low latency connections through our Equinix Extension.

Testing in the ATC makes it all real

We use enterprise-class traffic generation tools, such as Ixia IxLoad, to simulate the applications that are unique to your organization to show how a solution seamlessly integrates into your network. Over the years we have developed a testing framework that allows us to go from concept to test plan to achieve the outcome needed for your product or solution evaluation.

SASE Architecture: Cisco Viptela SD-WAN With Netskope (SSE) Lab

First coined in 2019, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is the convergence of network and security frameworks. SASE aims to reduce the operational complexity that comes with a cloud-first delivery model. Application assurance and service optimization are achieved via global Point-of-Presence (POPs) and peering with carriers providing high-performance backbones. The combination of all these factors gives the user a consistent and secure experience no matter where they are located.
