Prisma SD-WAN GCP-NCC CloudBlade allows seamless integration
between Prisma SD-WAN branches and Google Cloud Platform
Network Connectivity Center (NCC) to streamline and automate
site-to-cloud connectivity at scale.
Network Connectivity Center in Google Cloud is a hub
and spoke model for network connectivity management. The hub resource delivers a
reliable connectivity on demand and reduces the operational complexity through a simple,
centralized connectivity management.
NCC can connect VPNs, partner dedicated interconnects, as well as third
party routers and SD-WAN. Wherever your applications or users are in the network, you
can optimize the connectivity, reduce the operational load, and lower costs.
Cloud Router is a fully distributed and managed
Google Cloud service that programs custom dynamic routes and scales with network
traffic. It dynamically exchanges routes between Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and
on-premise networks using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
