Axiata Group Bhd has partnered US-based Versa Networks to deliver Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) technology for rapidly digitalising Asian enterprises.
As a Versa Networks ACE Partner, Axiata’s B2B unit Axiata Enterprise will collaborate with Celcom in Malaysia and XL Axiata in Indonesia, to roll out comprehensive suites of Versa SASE solutions covering networking, security and cloud access integration for enterprise customers in the respective markets.
Axiata Enterprise chief executive officer Dr Gopi Kurup said the partnership with Versa Networks further cements Axiata Enterprise’s proposition to empower organisations across the region seeking to raise their digitalisation game.
“Our combined strengths in technology, capabilities and reach across emerging Asia markets positions us as the right transformation partner to Enterprises that are looking to adopt cloud-based applications and data to accelerate in the post-pandemic recovery phase,” Gopi said in a statement today.
He noted that with increasing connectivity, integration and security were critical to ensure uninterrupted business access.
“The Versa SASE innovation integrates security, networking, SD-WAN and analytics to deliver scalable, secure and reliable enterprise-wide networking and security.
“This is done via adoption of a cloud-type gateway which can efficiently distribute and seamlessly offload between the private office network and the Internet to access other cloud services,” Gopi said in a statement today.
Versa Networks vice-president Tony Fallows said the company would be working with Axiata to expand Versa SASE further into the ASEAN and South Asia markets.
“Axiata, Celcom and XL Axiata will soon be able to deliver Versa’s industry-leading fully integrated and feature-complete SASE to support digitalisation in the regional markets,” he added.
