The Prisma® SD-WAN Instant-On Network (ION) models of hardware and software devices enable the integration of a diverse set of wide area network (WAN) connection types, improve application performance and visibility, enhance security and compliance, and reduce the overall cost and complexity of your WAN. Built with the intent to reduce remote infrastructure, Prisma SD-WAN enables the clouddelivered branch.

Enterprises have traditionally deployed multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) networks, using ­hardware routers to connect branch offices to centralized data centers. With cloud adoption on the rise, end user applications like videoconferencing and office productivity solutions are increasingly delivered as cloud services. Legacy WAN architectures have debilitating limitations when ­organizations attempt to migrate to the cloud or utilize commodity internet connections in their branch offices.

For SD-WAN, you need a networking solution that:

• Steers traffic and defines networking and security policies from an application-centric perspective rather than a packet-based one.
• Minimizes manual operations and enables agile DevOps deployments via API integrations.
• Supports cloud-delivered branch architecture by enabling all branch infrastructure, such as networking and security, to be delivered from the cloud.

Benefits

Prisma SD-WAN ION devices offer:

• Seamless integration with third-party services using CloudBlades: Automate deployments of third-party entities, simplifying security, operations, collaboration, and multicloud connectivity.
• Zero-touch provisioning and deployment: Gain the advantage of automatic configuration and device claiming.
• Instant visibility into application performance: Understand how applications are performing and identify the root cause of app performance issues.
• Cloud and SaaS application deployment confidence: Meet the required performance and availability demands, including remote office WAN high availability, bandwidth, consistent latency, and dynamic path selection.

Features

Alongside these benefits, take advantage of:

• Integrated 5G: Prisma SD-WAN is expanding its lightweight appliance portfolio to include the ION 1200 with integrated 5G. With this new appliance, organizations can ensure optimal uptime with 5G leveraged as a backup WAN transport for business-critical applications. In addition, businesses with ATM/kiosks that require cellular as their primary WAN can simply deploy this appliance and guarantee uptime and productivity.
• Advanced AIOps capabilities: Prisma SD-WAN AIOps capabilities provide rich telemetry of network insights, allowing admins to perform granular trend analysis and create unique network conditions that can automate tedious manual tasks. AIOps in Prisma SD-WAN can immediately identify a common parent event among all event alarms. It will also be used for fault analytics capabilities and automated statistical analysis. In addition to event correlation and analysis, admins can gain greater control over events with automatic prioritization, allowing them to easily pinpoint issues and reduce time to resolution.
• Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM): Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE with ADEM capabilities now extends to both mobile users and branch users, allowing organizations to gain end-to-end visibility and segment-wise insights across the entire SASE service delivery path regardless of where their users are located. ADEM on Prisma SD-WAN can help ensure the best digital experience for branches by providing observability in the cloud and across multiple WAN paths.
