This shift to cloud IaaS and SaaS makes it even more critical for organizations to [update their legacy WAN architectures](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/traditional-wan-vs-sd-wan?ts=markdown) to ensure their branch offices have fast and reliable connectivity to business-critical applications and data. We're excited to announce the Palo Alto Networks [Prisma SD-WAN](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/sase/sd-wan?ts=markdown) integration with [Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE)](https://www.megaport.com/products/megaport-virtual-edge/) to provide agility, robust security and simplified connectivity for global networks tailored for today's digital and cloud-first distributed enterprises. > *"The integration of Prisma SD-WAN with Megaport Virtual Edge marks a significant development in cloud connectivity. By combining the strengths of our two platforms, we are delivering a transformative solution that addresses the critical need for secure, agile, and scalable network infrastructure. This partnership empowers enterprises to seamlessly extend their reach into the cloud, ensuring optimal performance and robust security across their distributed environments. We are proud to support our customers on their journey toward a more connected and resilient digital future."* > > *---Misha Cetrone, Executive Vice President NAM \& Global Alliances, Megaport* # Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN is [an industry-leading next-generation SD-WAN solution with integrated SASE use cases to enable the branch of the future](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/2023/05/powering-the-branch-of-the-future/?ts=markdown). It delivers exceptional user experience, secure network connectivity, and [a fully automated SD-WAN network for simplified IT operations](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/resources/videos/branch-of-the-future-with-sd-wan?ts=markdown). The Prisma SD-WAN built-in application-aware solution accurately identifies applications to provide intelligent traffic engineering, prioritization and load balancing, improving application availability. The solution delivers AI-based problem detection and predictive analytics to remediate application and network issues proactively. # MVE Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Platform MVE is an on-demand, vendor-neutral NFV service that provides virtual infrastructure for network services at the edge of the Megaport global software-defined network (SDN). Network technologies such as [SD-WAN](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-sd-wan?ts=markdown) gateways and [virtual firewalls](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-a-virtual-firewall?ts=markdown) are hosted directly on the Megaport global network via MVE. MVE modernizes network connectivity and enables customers to deploy virtual firewalls, SD-WAN gateways, virtual routers and integrated transit gateways in minutes. The Prisma SD-WAN and MVE integration connects small and large sites worldwide, making it simpler and faster than ever to transform branch locations for high-performing, direct-to-cloud connectivity. This integration allows organizations to set up new sites and expand their networks without the logistical overhead typically associated with traditional networking solutions. Whether you're managing a few dozen or hundreds of sites, the Prisma SD-WAN and MVE integration scales effortlessly, providing a consistent, reliable network experience to every user, regardless of location. # Three Benefits of Prisma SD-WAN and Megaport MVE Integration 1. Resilient Connectivity for Uninterrupted Operations ------------------------------------------------------ ![Prisma SD-WAN integration with MVE helps distributed organizations revolutionize their branch office connectivity to all their cloud resources.](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/word-image-327918-1.png) Prisma SD-WAN integration with MVE helps distributed organizations revolutionize their branch office connectivity to all their cloud resources. [Prisma SD-WAN and MVE](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/resources/guides/prisma-sd-wan-and-megaport-virtual-edge-solution-guide?ts=markdown) offer resilient connectivity that ensures continuous network availability. By leveraging the SD-WAN network's intelligent routing and automatic failover capabilities combined with the high-bandwidth private backbone Megaport provides, joint customers can keep their critical applications running smoothly---even during heavy network congestion. 2. Operational Expenditure (OPEX) Reduction ------------------------------------------- One of the most compelling benefits of the Prisma SD-WAN and MVE integration is its significant OPEX savings. Enterprises can deploy virtual network SD-WAN instances on demand, resulting in a leaner, more cost-effective network infrastructure in their middle mile. Organizations that use one or more [cloud service providers (CSPs)](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/cloud-service-provider?ts=markdown)---such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Oracle Cloud---can significantly reduce data egress fees by using Megaport private connections. 3. Simplified Cloud On-Ramp --------------------------- The global reach of Megaport SDN and the advanced networking capabilities of Prisma SD-WAN offer unmatched coverage for distributed site connections. This global footprint ensures enterprises can maintain high-performance connections to CSPs and data centers worldwide, enhancing user experience and boosting productivity. The integration also simplifies direct connections to leading CSPs for enhanced performance and latency reduction. > *"We're thrilled to announce the integration of Prisma SD-WAN with Megaport Virtual Edge. This powerful alliance harnesses the strength of both platforms, providing our joint customers with an enhanced networking solution that optimizes their multicloud infrastructure and fortifies their security posture. By streamlining connectivity and reducing operational complexities, together we're empowering modern distributed businesses to navigate the complexities of digital transformation with unprecedented ease and confidence."* > > *---Pamela Cyr, Vice President of Technical Partnerships, Palo Alto Networks* # A Blueprint for Rapid Transformation Integrating Prisma SD-WAN and MVE provides a blueprint for rapid digital transformation and deployment of highly available and private network backbones. It elegantly blends the agility of adaptive networking and robust security with the strength of a global connectivity platform, offering distributed enterprises a powerful tool to accelerate their cloud adoption and a future where digital and cloud technologies drive business success.
