Cloud datacenters offer enterprises significant value through cost savings, scalability, agility, and simplified management. However, connecting the WAN to these datacenters presents real challenges. Traditional approaches to optimization, security, and monitoring must be re-evaluated to preserve the cost efficiency and flexibility that made the cloud so compelling in the first place. Cato simplifies that process, enabling enterprises to integrate cloud datacenters into their networks in a secure, optimized, and cost-effective way.
Access control, a critical requirement when integrating cloud datacenters, is also simplified with Cato. Once the cloud networks are connected, access is managed by our Firewall-as-a-Service, which has Active Directory (AD) integration for granular user and application control built in, and full visibility for troubleshooting and auditing. There’s no need to settle for the insufficient ACL-level access control offered by Cloud providers or to invest in licensing and deploying 3rd party virtual FWs.
Cato’s global private backbone helps enterprises avoid the high cost of private connections and the performance issues of backhauling traffic to cloud datacenters by delivering end-to-end route optimization. With Cato PoPs co-located in the same physical facilities as AWS, Azure and other major cloud providers, latency and packet loss are virtually eliminated. The result is cloud performance comparable to dedicated connections—at a fraction of the cost. With Cato, customers see throughput improvements ranging from 4x to 40x.
Cato’s Security-as-a-Service is built into the Cato private global backbone and delivered as a service. No additional appliances-physical or virtual-are required for purchase or deployment. A single security stack covers all cloud datacenters, physical locations, and remote users. All network traffic, regardless of origin, is processed through Cato’s full security stack . As load increases on a cloud datacenter or a new one is added, the service scales seamlessly without requiring the purchase of additional security solutions or upgrades to existing ones.
By making the cloud datacenter a native part of the enterprise network, Cato gives you the exact same visibility and control as you have with your physical network, without any additional components. Cato provides a single-pane-of-glass into the complete enterprise network — sites, cloud resources, and mobile users for networking and security — through its cloud-based management application. Through the application, customers can control all parts of the service, including network and security policy configuration, detailed network analytics, and security event reporting.
Customers use Cato to eliminate complex legacy architectures comprised of multiple security point solutions and costly network services. Cato’s unique SASE platform consistently and autonomously delivers secure and optimized application access everywhere and to everyone.
