Companies, like people, have different needs. In some cases, running the network themselves could be a requirement in different cases, though, the very last thing the IT manager would like to try and do is take responsibility for every move and change. Each method has its strengths. With self-service, enterprises realize unexcelled agility by configuring and troubleshooting the networks themselves, doing in seconds what otherwise needed legacy telcos hours or days. For added help, co-management permits customers to trust current support from Cato or its partners without relinquishing control for overall management. And, of course, with Cato Hands-Free corporations gain the convenience of full management, though, they\u2019ll still build changes themselves, if they want. With Cato, you do get to manage the network your way. And this says nothing regarding Cato\u2019s wide selection of professional and support services.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong>Management\u00a0designed for Digital Business<\/strong><\/h3><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>This kind of flexibility is strange for managed network services, which historically\u00a0only\u00a0offered full management.

It\u00a0needs\u00a0a network designed from\u00a0the bottom\u00a0up for\u00a0the needs\u00a0of today\u2019s digital business.And\u00a0historically\u00a0managed services\u00a0place\u00a0restrictions on customers, tying\u00a0the overlay (SD-WAN or MPLS) to the telco\u2019s underlay (last-mile and backbone services). Requiring use of the telco\u2019s underly left enterprises subject to high\u00a0costs,\u00a0restricted geographic reach, and\u00a0lengthy\u00a0deployment\u00a0times. Such\u00a0an\u00a0approach is, again, incompatible with a digital business that\u00a0looks\u00a0to be\u00a0leaner and more agile,\u00a0notably\u00a0as the network\u00a0should\u00a0more and more connect clouds, mobile users, and branch locations situated outside of the telcos in the operation\u00a0area.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Cato Cloud was\u00a0unambiguously\u00a0designed for\u00a0the needs\u00a0of the digital business and not\u00a0simply\u00a0in\u00a0how\u00a0we expect about\u00a0management. Enterprises bring their last-mile access to Cato or procure last-mile services through Cato partners. They then\u00a0connect to\u00a0Cato\u2019s global backbone through any local\u00a0internet access, releasing\u00a0them from the lock-in of\u00a0traditional\u00a0telco\u00a0services. As a globally distributed cloud service, Cato seamlessly connects mobile and cloud resources,\u00a0while not\u00a0being\u00a0in chains\u00a0to specific geographical location or physical infrastructure.With Cato, organizations get the tomatoes and lettuce: the peace of mind of a managed service with the speed and\u00a0agility\u00a0of self-service. And, yes, you Wendy\u2019s lovers, there\u2019s\u00a0lots of\u00a0beef there\u00a0also.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-569cbef elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"569cbef\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9291a71\" data-id=\"9291a71\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87717d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"87717d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-mec-ph-storage\/2019\/08\/cac512cc-network-security-is-simple-again-whitepaper.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a78d12c\" data-id=\"a78d12c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40a4657 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40a4657\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Download Free Cato Networks<strong>\u00a0Resource<\/strong><\/h3><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Get access to authentic content from one of the leading cyber security experts in the world from the Philippines\u2019 premiere technology provider.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9399e0 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"c9399e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/mec.ph\/products\/cybersecurity\/cato\/downloadable-cato-resources\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Download Cato Resource<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cato Networks SD-WAN Versus Last Mile for Digital Transformation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":37835,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3142,11,13,14,3260],"tags":[1262,1264,2359,3143,3144],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mec.ph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37831"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mec.ph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mec.ph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mec.ph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mec.ph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37831"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mec.ph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37831\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mec.ph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mec.ph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mec.ph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mec.ph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
