Prisma SD-WAN provides a software-defined, wide area network (SD-WAN) solution that transforms legacy wide area networks (WANs) into a radically simplified, secure, application fabric (AppFabric), virtualizing heterogeneous underlying transports into a unified hybrid WAN. At the core of the system is the application performance engine.
You can view granular application-driven analytics, build a robust policy, and performance-based traffic management of the WAN. Through Instant-On Network (ION) devices, Prisma SD-WAN simplifies how WANs are designed, built, and managed, securely extending data center-class security to the network edge.
Prisma SD-WAN supports stacked policies for flow forwarding operations. Using centrally-defined policies, each ION device performs actions such as automatic path selection, traffic shaping, or active-active load balancing between links, while the Prisma SD-WAN controller provides full visibility into application performance and response times across all WAN links.
Prisma SD-WAN controls network application performance based on application-performance service level agreements (SLAs) and business priorities. You can configure policies, resources, CloudBlades, and system settings for Prisma SD-WAN using Strata Cloud Manager.

Feature Highlights

  • Branch Sites: Prisma SD-WAN Sites represent branch offices and data centers that form your wide-area network. The Prisma SD-WAN solution is the primary WAN gateway, managing all inbound and outbound traffic to ensure secure, reliable, and optimized connectivity.
  • Data Centers : Data center sites are connected to branch sites, and you can host enterprise applications and services in a data center. When creating a data center, you can select circuit categories, circuit labels, and circuit and device specifications.
  • ION Devices: ION devices can be deployed at a branch site or a data center site. These are available in both hardware and software form factors that meet the needs of any location and any deployment scenario.
  • Policies: Prisma SD-WAN supports centrally defined policies, such as automatic path selection, traffic shaping, and active-active load balancing between links. The Prisma SD-WAN controller provides full visibility into application performance and response times across all WAN links.
  • CloudBlades: CloudBlades is a platform that delivers best-of-breed infrastructure services to branch offices from the cloud, eliminating the need for additional hardware or software. Utilize the Prisma SD-WAN CloudBlades to securely access ION devices and automate web interface workflows with customized templates, reducing operational complexity.
  • Profiles and Templates: Utilize configuration profiles and templates to configure settings for various resources within the Profiles and Templates option. You can configure the Site Templates, IPSec, IPFIX, APN, DNS, Syslog, NTP, Multicast, VRF, IoT Discovery, and AAA.
  • System: Manage and monitor tenants, users, and permissions in Prisma SD-WAN using the resources available under the System option, which include Audit Logs, Enterprise Prefixes, Device Toolkit Access, Device Offline Access, Auth Token, and Cloud Identity Engine.
