Problem
Digital infrastructure companies face challenges in providing comprehensive enterprise networking and security services that can effectively compete with larger cloud service providers, often struggling with the complexity and cost of scaling their infrastructure to meet growing bandwidth demands and evolving security threats. Traditional security solutions can be cumbersome and expensive at scale, hindering deployment and adding complexity.
Solution
InsidePacket offers a multi-cloud networking and security solution featuring a programmable switch pipeline and an inspect-once server data path, enabling digital infrastructure companies to deliver advanced Network as a Service (NaaS) capabilities. The InsidePacket NSOS software integrates routing and inline security services, providing a holistic security approach with features spanning L3-L7. This solution allows operators to enable scalable services for their tenants on existing infrastructure, improving network and security services. By leveraging commodity hardware acceleration platforms, InsidePacket detaches network growth from network cost, allowing operators to control expansion costs and offer new services without overhauling their existing infrastructure.
Target Audience
