 Welcome to JSA TV, the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Jamie Scott-Okitaya, here at the Chorus Communications Lounge at Channel Partners Evolution. And joining me today, my honor to have Mr. Kelly Ahuja, he's of course the CEO of Versa Networks. Kelly, it's a pleasure to have you. Thank you for having me here, Jamie. Really truly our honor. And Versa Networks, for those who may not already know, really leading the way in SD-WAN technology, you yourself a thought leader on the field on the topic. Can you tell us where do you see SD-WAN heading? You know, SD-WAN is happening now and it's happening in a big way. Any enterprise customer that we touch, whether it's through our Channel Partners, our service provider, MSPs, you know, what we're hearing is the market is here and now. Every customer is transforming their WAN. And what's driving that transformation is really the transition that they're making to being a digital enterprise and that shift over from a private to a hybrid or a multi-cloud infrastructure in SaaS is driving the need for a WAN transformation. And that's where SD-WAN is fitting in. For sure. And Versa Networks in that field, really disrupting it. So can you tell us a little bit about how and why? Yeah, absolutely. And this is a really exciting time for us, Jamie, because what we're finding ourselves in the middle of the tornado market, which is actually a very well good fit for us. Why? Because as enterprises are shifting over to a multi-cloud environment in SaaS, they want to be able to break out their applications. So for example, somebody wants to access Office 365 or some other SaaS provider or a cloud directly from the remote sites. The only way they can do that is to provide internet connectivity at that site. And we provide that internet connectivity. You need to have visibility. You need to have control. You need to have information. And to be able to say this application from this user, send it down this path. And that's what really the promise of what we deliver is not just SD-WAN but Software Defined Branch, which is unlike any other provider that's out there, any other equipment vendor that's out there. And then our go-to market is the broadest. We are working with service providers, the large carriers. We have customers like Verizon, Comcast, CenturyLink, plus many other global providers that are out there, including managed service providers. So in total, we're nearly about 70 managed service providers out there today. And then we're addressing about 600 enterprise customers through those or large enterprises that want to do it themselves or through systems integrators, working with them as well. So we have a broad go-to market. We have a great technology set. We've actually got security built in into our solution, which is very, very critical as you're going to be distributing internet connectivity to every one of the locations. You want to be able to protect that site as you do at any location. So that makes us unique and differentiated in the market, and that's why we're winning. I was going to ask you about your security play because there's definitely a reason to go ahead and go in contact first. Today everyone is talking about security while building out their network, so clearly you've got them covered there. We do. And in fact, what I tell people is, without security, SD-WAN won't happen. And every other solution out there today is a bolt-on on security, whether it's a cloud player or another appliance. And we think that model is antiquated. We think the real solution has got to be security built in, and security and network should be tied together because the on-ramp for these multi-clouds is going to be the internet as well as MPLS networks, and you've got to have that on-ramp secure. So to be able to do that, you've got to have security as an integral part of the offer, and that's what we provide. Love it. Love it. So for our viewers who I'm sure definitely want to learn more, where can they go? Well they can come to our website at www.versa-networks.com. They can come into our offices if they want, give us a call, or reach out to our sales teams, but also for our channel partners. They can certainly go to their service provider carrier customers as well, and get information from them also. There you have it, Versa-networks.com. Thank you Kelly for joining us. And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV. Happy networking.
