SDWan solutions with a hardware SDWan appliance and a soft client? (windows 10, android, etc...)

VPN
1

Are there any SDWan providers that provide:

  • A hardware SDWan box
  • A software SDWan client for Windows 10
  • zScaler integration

I am aware of VeloCloud that meets these requirements;

I don’t believe Citrix SDWan has a soft client

I don’t believe Checkpoint has zScaler integration

I am not familiar enough with other SDWan solutions to know if there are other solutions that meet these 3 checkboxes.

Other “nice-to-have” things:

  • Andriod/iOS SDWan client
  • Linux / Mac SDWan client

Any other options I should look at?

Are any of my believed statements above false?

You mean a VPN :wink:

Kidding. Have a look at the Palo offering combined with Prisma Access perhaps

Look at Silver Peak.

Cato Sd-wan? Doesn’t have zscaler integration but does have its own security platform and a client(vpn) for all platforms mentioned.

Cato Networks is a carrier you should definitely look at. They focus on converged SD-WAN + Security/Firewall appliances. Their SD-WAN routing and intelligence is done in the cloud, and they offer additional security services and direct/cloud connections into most major hosted cloud providers. Their SD-WAN is “co-managed” meaning customers have full control but can call on Cato Networks if they need support.

We’re a partner with them and represent 30 other SD-WAN carrier; Cato has shown to be a leader in this space and constantly developing their solutions. Happy to connect you with some key people there and setup some demos.

Aruba does have a vpn-client, hardware boxes and zscaler integration.

I had been thinking about this idea, client connects to the nearest SD-WAN appliance for access to the fabric. Zscaler ZPA is probably the closest solution to this concept I have seen but am interested to see if anyone comes up with a better suggestion.

It’s not technically an SD-WAN as it doesn’t bundle the service, but iQuila would allow for you to connect with your existing network using both hardware and software clients.

u/UserAgent99 mentioned a VPN and whilst iQuila is not a VPN (it’s a unique protocol), it does a similar sort of thing but on Layer 2.

I do work with iQuila but hopefully this won’t get downvoted as it does answer the question asked.

Juniper Contrail SD-WAN… Has Z-scaler integration, IIRC.

The very best solution is 128 Technology with WireGuard clients. The clients work on every device (Android, Apple, Windows, Mac, etc) and allow direct assignment of specific routes to each client.

11

Call Versa Networks.

SP doesn’t have a soft client though. Does great on the other two points though.

Ooh, good find, thanks. We do a lot. Of aruba campus stuff and clearpass.

When you already have CPPM in place than this should definitely be something to look at. The whole eco system with Aruba Central is getting better and better.
