In a world where enterprise networks are more distributed than ever, security and simplicity can feel like they’re at odds. That’s why we’re excited to expand Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s secure connectivity portfolio with the addition of Versa Secure SD-WAN.
This isn’t a pivot—it’s a progression. We’re building on our trusted collaboration with Versa to help organizations better handle multi-branch deployments, cloud-first strategies, and modern networking demands, all while maintaining ALE’s trademark simplicity, security, and operational consistency.
Bringing More Power to the Edge With Versa Secure SD-WAN, we’re not just optimizing the WAN—we’re infusing it with security from the ground up. Enterprises can now ensure secure, reliable connectivity across their entire footprint, from headquarters to branch offices, and from cloud platforms to industrial edge sites.
Here’s how it levels up your network:
🔐 Extended Security Versa Secure SD-WAN integrates Next-Gen Firewall (NGFW), with unified threat prevention, and access control—so you get deep security baked right into your WAN layer. It’s a perfect fit for enterprise environments that need end-to-end protection, from access to core to cloud.
⚙️ Operational Simplicity Managing a distributed network doesn’t have to be complex. This solution brings streamlined orchestration and centralized management, cutting down on manual configuration and reducing IT overhead—ideal for lean teams or large enterprises scaling fast.
🌍 Enterprise-Ready Architecture Whether you’re connecting five sites or five hundred, Secure SD-WAN adapts. With built-in multi-tenancy, flexible deployment models (DIY, managed, or co-managed), and support for public, private, or hybrid clouds, it’s designed for today’s complexity and tomorrow’s growth.
Key benefits include:
• Extended Security at the Network Edge: Versa Secure SD-WAN brings advanced security—like firewalling, threat prevention, and secure access—into the WAN layer, reinforcing ALE’s secure connectivity strategy from the access layer to the cloud.
• Operational Simplicity: The solution streamlines configuration, policy management, and day-to-day network operations, helping reduce IT workload and improve consistency across distributed sites.
• Built for Enterprise Growth and Complexity: With flexible deployment models and scalability across sites and regions, Secure SD-WAN supports diverse use cases and evolving enterprise needs—making it a future-ready addition to ALE’s portfolio.
This strategic expansion reinforces ALE’s commitment to delivering secure, end-to-end networking solutions that evolve with our customers' needs.
By adding Versa Secure SD-WAN to our portfolio, we’re not starting from scratch—we’re building on a solid foundation of secure connectivity. This addition empowers enterprises to tackle more complex use cases with greater flexibility, stronger security, and the operational simplicity needed to move confidently into the future.
