<\/div>\n

The push towards cloud has created more demands on business networks, in particular how secure and effective they are, and aiming to address these needs, Cato Networks has announced a secure access service edge (SASE) throughput record, achieving 5Gbps on a single encrypted tunnel with all security inspections enabled, as well as introducing cloud cross-connect technology enabling high-speed, SLA-backed, direct connectivity into nearly any worldwide cloud provider.<\/p>\n

The single-vendor SASE platform<\/a> provider believes both capabilities \u2013 the first of which is said to quintuple the throughput of the nearest SASE<\/a> competitor without requiring hardware upgrades \u2013 underscore the value of a fully cloud-native platform and extend SASE to meet the needs of today\u2019s large, cloud-centric enterprise.<\/p>\n

As larger enterprises adopt SASE, higher capacity connections are needed for interconnecting datacentres and private clouds. Cato sees itself as being able to meet that need with industry-leading support for 5Gbps throughput on a single, encrypted tunnel regardless of security inspections. Previously, Cato supported a maximum of 3Gbps per tunnel.<\/p>\n

The improved throughput is also said to underscore the benefits of a cloud-native architecture. Cato nearly doubled the performance of the Cato Socket, its edge software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN<\/a>) device, without requiring any hardware changes. This is said to have been possible only because the computer runs the compute-intensive operations that normally degrade edge appliance performance \u2013 such as packet encryption\/decryption, security inspection \u2013 in the Cato Single Pass Processing Engine (SPACE)<\/a> running across points of presence (PoPs).<\/p>\n

Through the act of improving SPACE, Cato said all edges connected to the SASE Cloud gain increased throughput. Replacement of the Cato Socket is not required.<\/p>\n

By contrast, it said SASE solutions implemented as virtual machines<\/a> (VMs) in the cloud or modified web proxies remain limited to under 1Gbps of throughput for a single tunnel. This limitation is seen by Cato as forcing enterprises to have their edge appliance create and manage multiple tunnels and load-balance traffic between them \u2013 an added layer of complexity and risk that does not exist in the new solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cCato has set the mark for SASE at scale,\u201d commented Gur Shatz, co-founder, president and chief operating officer of Cato Networks. \u201cPushing the boundary of SASE throughput worldwide is more than an engineering achievement \u2013 it demonstrates how quickly a platform with a cloud-native architecture can make new technology globally available.\u201d<\/p>\n

As it was announcing the new benchmark in throughput, Cato also announced that it would be delivering 5Gbps connections to other cloud providers. The new Cato cross-connect is designed to enable private, high-speed Layer 2 connections between Cato and any other cloud provider connecting to the Equinix Cloud Exchange (ECX)<\/a> or Digital Reality.<\/p>\n

Along with interconnecting their enterprise cloud and non-cloud resources, the cross-connect also enables the company\u2019s channel partners to deliver SSE 360 into legacy deployments by establishing a network-to-network interface into the Cato SASE Cloud. Enterprises with multiprotocol label switching (MPLS<\/a>) or third-party SD-WAN infrastructure can now use the new capabilities without changing their underlying networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
