Versa Networks, a global leader in AI/ML-powered Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), and the Gold ‘ASTORS’ Award Champion for Best Network Security Solution in AST’s 2021 Homeland Security Awards Program, has entered into a partnership agreement with Infinigate, the EMEA value-add distributor specializing in cybersecurity, secure networks, and secure cloud, to deliver Unified SASE to enterprises across the EMEA region.

The partnership builds upon Versa Networks’ established relationship with Nuvias, which was acquired by Infinigate in July and is now an integral part of the Infinigate Group.

Versa’s full product suite, which provides end-to-end solutions that both simplify and secure the modern network, is available now from Infinigate to enterprises and partners, including resellers, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), and Value Added Resellers (VARs), across Europe and the Middle East Available in the cloud, on-premise, or a combination of both.

Versa Networks brings solutions to the security and networking concerns plaguing organizations and MSPs.

Versa Unified SASE securely and reliably connects home workers, branch workers, and users to applications while decreasing latency, reducing complexity, and enhancing visibility across the entire network.

By extending their prior Nuvias relationship across Europe and the Middle East, this new Versa Networks partnership signifies Versa’s continued commitment and investment within the region.

“Organizations are continuing to seek ways in which they can build agile and secure networks, and we’re seeing increasing demand across the region for a SASE solution that enables organizations to ensure the security of its users, applications, and workloads – anywhere, anytime,” explains Martin MacKay, Chief Revenue Officer at Versa Networks.

The Importance of a Unified Platform

Some vendors in the SASE market have combined multiple disjointed products from different vendors into a product suite so they could “check the box” for SASE services.

These solutions often fail to meet the foundational intent of SASE – superior protection for the enterprise while delivering superior performance and user experience.

Versa’s single-vendor AI/ML-powered Unified SASE platform natively integrates organically developed best-of-breed security and networking services that can be delivered from Versa cloud, a partner cloud, or an enterprise’s private on-premise SASE solution.

Versa Networks, a leader in single-vendor Unified SASE platforms, delivers AI/ML-powered SSE and SD-WAN solutions.

The platform provides networking and security with true multi-tenancy and sophisticated analytics via the cloud, on-premises, or as a blended combination to meet SASE requirements for small to extremely large enterprises and Service Providers.

Thousands of customers globally with hundreds of thousands of sites and millions of users trust Versa with their mission-critical networks and security.
