While enterprises of all sizes are rapidly adopting the cloud to gain agility, scale, and performance, poor access to cloud applications from the remote office can derail cloud migration projects. Inconsistent user experience, unreliable connectivity, and poor performance can result in frustration with IT.

Microsoft and Prisma SD-WAN have jointly delivered a solution to address these challenges and bring in high performance delivery of Microsoft Azure to remote offices worldwide. Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN (vWAN) provides a high-speed global network with minimal latencies. Prisma SD-WAN CloudBlades™ platform enables the secure delivery of best-of-breed branch infrastructure from the cloud. The Prisma SD-WAN Azure CloudBlade optimizes branch to Azure connectivity by securely and seamlessly integrating your enterprise WAN with Azure Virtual WAN.

Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN provides a global network with minimal latencies. The 60+ Azure regions distributed globally serve as hubs or entry points into the high-speed Azure network. The Prisma SD-WAN CloudBlade connects each remote office to a specified Azure region using secure tunnels. These secure tunnels can be established over any WAN type, including low cost broadband connections. The CloudBlade then programs Azure to integrate your enterprise WAN and the Azure network - without the need for complex VPN setup or routing protocol management.

Prisma SD-WAN prioritizes business applications on Azure by analyzing all available paths and using the highest performing path in real-time. As your organization migrates new applications to Azure, uses new Azure regions, or opens new remote offices, your enterprise WAN and Azure are synchronized. The CloudBlade eliminates the need for complex error-prone operations.
