VMware SASE Launched by BT As A Managed Service
20 Janeiro 2022 - 10:00AM
Business Wire
VMware today announced an agreement with BT, a leading global
communications services provider, to offer multinational customers
more choice and flexibility in how they embrace a cloud-first
approach to networking, security, and edge computing.
Under the terms of the agreement, BT will offer its customers
VMware Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) as a global managed
service, combining BT’s extensive networking capabilities and
in-depth security expertise with VMware technology.
The launch of the BT-managed service builds on the strong
partnership between the companies. BT already offers a managed
service based on VMware SD-WAN.
The new managed service will help customers accelerate their
digital transformation by providing employees wherever they are
with flexible, more secure, and reliable access to cloud-based
applications and services deployed in public and private clouds,
SaaS, or at the enterprise edge. It will support the adoption of
the latest digital technologies and workstyles, including IoT and
hybrid working.
As part of the single-vendor ecosystem managed service, BT will
provide full end-to-end support across networking and security,
protecting access to applications and data across private, hybrid
and multi-clouds. This will remove complexity for customers on
adopting a full SASE approach and will be especially compelling for
those looking to transform both networking and security
operations.
VMware’s comprehensive cloud-delivered SASE solution brings
together:
- Network performance benefits of SD-WAN
- Integrated security services delivered from the cloud
- The ability to support modern distributed applications, all of
which will benefit from artificial intelligence for IT operations,
or AIOps, for faster problem resolution.
These capabilities are delivered as a service from a global
network of over 150 points of presence (PoPs) deployed by VMware
and its SASE service provider partners. BT will peer its network
PoPs with VMware PoPs, so customers have an enhanced end user
experience on the VMware platform.
The new BT-managed VMware SASE service will launch with features
including URL filtering; in-line cloud access security broker
(CASB) to protect user activity; content filtering to reduce attack
surfaces; and content inspection to protect against malware
attacks.
For customers looking to adopt hybrid workstyles, BT will
provide VMware Secure Access. This zero-trust network access
service allows only trusted devices and remote workers to access
enterprise applications hosted on premises or in the cloud.
VMware and BT plan to work together to introduce new features to
the managed service over the coming months.
Scott Cowling, Director, Software Defined Networks, BT, said,
“Many organizations are deploying cloud networking with SD-WAN
technology. SASE takes this approach to the next level with an
architecture that enables delivery of networking, security, and
edge compute services from the cloud. Launching our managed VMware
SASE solution will help customers address networking and security
challenges seamlessly as one.”
Craig Connors, vice president and general manager for VMware’s
SASE business, said, “Leading service providers like BT have
modernized their networks so they can deliver a new category of
services to enterprise customers. SASE has emerged as the blueprint
for modern networking and security, and we are pleased BT has
selected VMware SASE to simplify their customers’ multi-cloud
journey.”
