Alongside this, Aruba takes the top spot as the only vendor to achieve 3 out of 5 use cases in the Critical Capabilities report.

The post Gartner Magic Quadrant Recognizes Fortinet as the SD-WAN Leader for 4 Consecutive Years appeared first on MEC Networks Corporation.

]]>

MEC Networks is proud to congratulate Fortinet for their remarkable achievement in the world of SD-WAN. They once again secured their place in the coveted Leaders Quadrant of the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant report for SD-WAN. This marks the fourth consecutive year that they have been recognized as a leader in the field and a remarkable distinction of being the sole leader placed highest on Ability to Execute for three consecutive years.

An image depicting the Magic Quadrant for SD-WAN, featuring the top vendors and their placement in the Magic Quadrant.

In an era where networks face mounting complexity, heightened threats, and the demands of a hybrid workforce, Fortinet’s recognition is well-deserved. The network attack surface has expanded rapidly, leading to numerous challenges like staffing constraints, complex network architectures, and legacy security solutions. Many organizations have found it challenging to keep pace with these developments.

The Role of SD-WAN in Modern Networks

Modern networks require a strategy that simplifies operations, reduces complexity, and combines networking and security solutions. Secure access, reliable connectivity, and superior user experience are paramount for remote workers accessing widely distributed business applications and corporate resources. While SD-WAN can address these concerns, not all SD-WAN vendors can provide the combination of functionality, security, and support that organizations require.

Experience Success with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN

The Secure SD-WAN solution of Fortinet stands out as the first solution to tackle these challenges. Built on a common OS that ensures consistent functionality and centralized control, this solution seamlessly integrates advanced network connectivity and world-class security. It even offers integrated ZTNA to enable hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity, accelerating your digital-first journey. 

Fortinet’s deep integration and flexible deployment allow security policies to follow transactions end-to-end. Unlike most SASE solutions that stop at the network edge, Fortinet’s approach simplifies your network architecture and management overhead, accelerating deployment.

Additionally, their Secure SD-WAN solution enables the transition to 5G wireless WAN while maintaining reliable and secure connectivity, including full inspection of encrypted audio and video transmissions. The CyberRatings.org report further demonstrates the solution’s exceptional performance, even in challenging network conditions.

Beyond SD-WAN, Fortinet’s solution offers advanced capabilities such as AIOps and digital experience monitoring (DEM), seamlessly integrating into existing networking and security environments. This functionality shines in Gartner’s Critical Capabilities for SD-WAN Use Cases, where Fortinet ranks #1 in On-Premises security-sensitive WAN and WAN for small branches for three consecutive years.

More Than Just SD-WAN

Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN is not just about network interconnectivity. It serves as the foundation for broader organizational goals, including SASE and SD-Branch. By integrating these solutions, they empower users and devices to securely access resources and applications with end-to-end visibility and control, regardless of location. This unique approach makes everyone’s job easier and sets Fortinet apart from the competition.

MEC Networks proudly celebrates Fortinet’s consistent leadership in SD-WAN. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!

Level Up Your Business

Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Meets Modern IT Challenges

The challenges of the modern IT landscape demand innovative solutions, and Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN rises to the occasion. This powerful networking platform is designed to optimize cloud-first, connected IoT (Internet of Things), and security requirements across the WAN (Wide Area Networks), enabling enterprise IT organizations to drive digital transformation.

With the advent of sustained hybrid work, the norm now is to provide a consistent quality of experience and security policy enforcement. Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN brings a secure network foundation for Zero Trust and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), encompassing advanced SD-WAN and integrated next-generation firewall functions.

Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN simplifies provisioning and operations by delivering a unified SD-WAN fabric across locations of all sizes. This results in significant operational benefits, improved business productivity and agility, reduced business risk, and lower overall WAN costs.

Combining the EdgeConnect SD-WAN platform with HPE Networking SSE creates a unified SASE solution that streamlines networking and security functions. This consolidation eliminates complexities, reduces costs, and enhances cross-functional collaboration, facilitating a single-vendor SASE architecture with Zero Trust built-in.

What Sets Aruba Apart

Arubas exceptional offering empowers organizations to:

1. Gain choice and flexibility

The EdgeConnect SD-WAN platform delivers advanced networking capabilities crucial for cloud-first organizations.

Embedded security features include a next-generation firewall, fine-grained segmentation, rule-based Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDS/IPS), DDoS detection and prevention, and seamless integration with major SSE cloud security providers.

3. Implement a single vendor SASE Solution with Zero Trust

The era of disparate networking and security solutions is propagating. A unified SASE solution from a single vendor simplifies operations, reduces complexity and cost, and improves cross-functional collaboration. Combining the EdgeConnect SD-WAN platform with HPE Networking SSE promotes a unified SASE solution. Aruba Zero Trust, integrated from edge to cloud, enforces role-based traffic segmentation. HPE Aruba Networking SSE provides ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and added cloud security capabilities. This approach allows organizations to deploy a unified SASE architecture at their own pace, ensuring consistent, business-driven security policies for all users, devices, and applications without compromising performance or functionality.

Celebrating Customer Validation

While Gartner’s recognition is a testament to Aruba’s excellence, it is also the voice of the customer that truly counts. HPE Aruba has garnered a remarkable 4.9/5.0 rating on Gartner Peer Insights based on customer reviews. This validates their impact on tech solutions in the real world.

We are passionate about achieving success by exceeding our consumers’ expectations. It’s a value that our customers and partners have come to know and trust and we believe that it’s a key contributor to a loyal customer base, market growth, and continuous industry recognitions.

Technology is evolving rapidly year by year and we’re very fortunate to live in a time where technology can assist us and make our lives easier.

 

Although gradual, technology has embedded itself in today’s modern society. There is not a single facet of our daily lives that isn’t improved by technology and it is partly due to its availability and affordability.

How Technoloy Changed Our Lives For The Better

SECURITY

Security

From door access controls, fire alarms, temperature screening, and surveillance to firewalls, secure cloud networks, and network security, the convergence of ICT empowered both Physical and Cyber Security in securing people and other valuable assets.

EDUCATION_Technology_Changes_Lives

Education

The horizons of education extended beyond physical classrooms. Today, with the advancement of wireless and cabling technologies, education requires no physical contact. You can now attend online schools, enroll in different online courses, and gain new knowledge without needing to go to any physical facilities.

WORK_Technology_Changes_Lives

Work

ICT reshaped the modern workplace. Advancements in wireless and cybersecurity technologies enabled remote working and digital payments. Unified communication technologies increased team collaboration and communication efficiency. ICT has enabled us to work more closely and productively than ever before. 

HEALTHCARE_Technology_Changes_Lives

Healthcare

ICT has been considered as one of the driving forces behind improvements in the healthcare industry. Digitization of hospital data sped up patient support, development of touchless temperature screening solutions, and electronic health records provided invaluable data for clinical researchers.

Technology As An Empowering Tool

EMPOWERING-TOOL

Technology has the power to do a variety of things, and changing the way we live for the better is one of them. Today’s technology will be a stepping stone that will pave the way for us to innovate further. Innovations that will empower us to do greater things.

 

We at MEC Networks believe that everyone deserves a better life, that is why we are here not just to provide the best technology there is but to provide you with technology that will empower you to achieve great things in life. We are your partner in innovation, today and tomorrow. We are MEC.
