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.

This sandbox lab features a preconfigured network topology designed to demonstrate the various capabilities of the Cisco SD-WAN solution and to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the latest features. The included SD-WAN Controllers, Viptela OS vEdges (vEdge Cloud), and IOS-XE WAN cEdges (Catalyst 8000V) are all running on 20.9.1/17.9.1a code.

This sandbox lab features a preconfigured network topology designed to demonstrate the various capabilities of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN solution. The included SD-WAN Controllers and IOS-XE WAN Edges (Catalyst 8000V) are all running on 20.6.5/17.06.05 code.

The Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN 20.9.3 Sandbox is a capability of the ATC designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the latest features in the Cisco SD-WAN solution. Within this lab version, every Edge participating in the SD-WAN fabric is a Catalyst 8000V. The environment that supports the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN 20.9.3 Sandbox is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

This Sandbox environment features a pre-configured network topology designed to showcase the diverse capabilities of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN solution. The incorporated set of components within the lab topology include Controllers and IOS-XE WAN Edges (Catalyst 8000V), all running on 20.12.1/17.12.01a code.

The Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Foundations Lab is a capability of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of Cisco's SD-WAN solution. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), coined by Gartner in 2019, is a solution that blends networking and security into cloud scale architecture that optimizes end user performance and improves security for an organization. With the Zscaler and SD-WAN integration, you can rapidly gain access to cloud-delivered security in minutes. This market leading API automation makes it very fast and agile to deploy and manage the network and security environment of hundreds or even thousands of remote sites.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), coined by Gartner in 2019, is a solution that blends networking and security into cloud-scale architecture that optimizes end user performance and improves security for an organization. Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) is a secure Internet and web gateway cloud-delivered SASE service that sits between the users and the internet. ZIA will inspect every byte of traffic inline across multiple security techniques providing full protection from web and internet threats. The SASE Lab Series will look to explore the capabilities of the solution to provide you with a "rubber meets road" understanding of these technologies and how SASE can be applied in your company.
