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.

As enterprises continue to adopt IaaS services, such as AWS to host their business-critical applications, there is a compelling need for connecting all remote branch sites to the application VPCs hosted in AWS. Traditionally, enterprises backhaul all traffic destined for services hosted in their AWS VPCs to a central data center site on the corporate network. This creates unnecessary bottlenecks and can significantly degrade application performance. An ineffective alternate approach that was adopted by enterprises earlier was to manually establish IPSEC VPNs from each remote office to the Transit Gateway. This does not scale well for large enterprises and considerably slows down enterprise scale and expansion.

Enterprises are also plagued with throughput challenges and the lack of support for dynamic routing, further hindering the adoption of Cloud hosted services.

AWS and Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN have jointly delivered a solution for high-performance delivery of services from AWS to remote offices worldwide to address these challenges.

Prisma SD-WAN CloudBlades™ platform enables the secure delivery of best-of-breed branch infrastructure from the cloud. The Prisma SD-WAN AWS Transit Gateway Integration CloudBlade optimizes branch to AWS connectivity by securely and seamlessly integrating your enterprise WAN with AWS.

The CloudBlade automatically deploys a Prisma SD-WAN Datacenter in the cloud and establishes BGP peering with AWS Transit Gateway over AWS Connect attachment. This allows remote sites to securely reach the Application VPCs in AWS over the Zero touch Prisma SD-WAN App-Fabric and the AWS Transit Gateway connect attachment allows enterprises to enjoy the benefits of higher throughput and dynamic routing.

As your organization migrates new applications to AWS or opens new remote offices, your enterprise WAN and AWS are always synchronized. The AWS Transit Gateway Integration CloudBlade eliminates the need for complex error-prone operations.
