PARTNER SOLUTION BRIEF

Zscaler and Nuage
Networks SD-WAN™

SOLUTION OVERVIEW
Zscaler and Nuage Networks combine Zscaler’s best-in-class Cloud Security Platform withNuage Networks’ Virtualized Network Services (VNS) solution to simplify how traffic isrouted from the branch and make it easy to establish and secure local Internet breakouts.
Together, they enable fast and secure access to websites and business-critical cloud
applications from branch and remote office locations.
As more applications move to the cloud, the old approach ofbackhauling traffic over MPLS to a centralized Internet gateway via ahub-and-spoke architecture is no longer relevant. It is expensive andintroduces unnecessary latency that negatively impacts user experience.
To support a cloud transition and deliver a fast user experience,
enterprise network architects are re-evaluating the design of their WAN
architectures to find ways to route Internet traffic locally, and to takeadvantage of inexpensive broadband Internet services, often turning toSoftware-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN).
The Nuage Networks VNS solution simplifies how traffic is routed fromthe branch, and makes it easy to establish local Internet breakouts.
Using broadband along with MPLS as the transport mechanism,software-defined policies select the best path to route traffic to connect
the branch to the Internet, cloud applications, and the datacenter. By
defining policies in the cloud via a single interface, organizations caneasily deploy new applications and services, and manage policies
across a large number of locations.
However, connecting all branch locations directly to the Internet
introduces significant security risks, which are particularly challenging
to manage with limited IT resources. Together, Zscaler and Nuage
Networks minimize exposure to these risks by enabling customers tosecurely route all their Internet-bound traffic directly to the Zscaler
Cloud Security Platform.

HIGHLIGHTS• Nuage Networks VNS simplifies
connecting branches to the Internetby leveraging multiple network
connection types (broadband, LTE, andMPLS) to optimize traffic routing andreduce MPLS costs• Nuage Networks VNS routes Internet
traffic locally to Zscaler to enable a fastand secure user experience• Zscaler delivers the entire security
stack as a cloud-based service thateliminates the need to buy, deploy,and manage security appliances in all
your branch locations• Zscaler ensures identical protection
for users wherever they connect – withpolicies that follow the user

• Zscaler enables organizations todefine and immediately enforce
security and access policies across all
locations from a single console, andtogether Zscaler and Nuage Networks
VNS allow rapid deployment of new
security services in minutes, with justa few clicks

ZSCALER PARTNER SOLUTION BRIEF

Zscaler delivers the entire security stack as a cloud service to secure Internet traffic and deliver a fast user experience— withoutbackhauling and without deploying stacks of security appliances at each location. By routing Internet-bound traffic to Zscaler,customers can immediately begin inspecting all traffic — all ports and protocols, including SSL. Organizations can define
and immediately enforce access and security policies across all locations from a single console. There is no compromising onsecurity. Because policies follow the users to provide identical protection no matter where they connect. And, Zscaler cloudservices scale elastically so you can deploy new services in just a few clicks.

Zscaler and Nuage Networks make it easy tomigrate from a hub-and-spoke to an Internetonly branch architecture by enabling securelocal Internet breakouts. With Nuage Networks
VNS, network administrators determine what
traffic to route to Zscaler. Typically, all branchInternet traffic is forwarded to Zscaler, routing
traffic from Nuage Networks VNS to the Zscaler
Cloud Security Service using IPSec tunnels.
Zscaler secures all traffic in the cloud, without
security appliances. The combined Zscaler
and Nuage Networks VNS solution delivers asecure, high-performance SD-WAN solutionthat securely connects branches to the Internetwith a fast user experience.
