SASE: Deliver Cloudflare anywhere with ZPE Systems’ Services Delivery Platform

Summary

Cloudflare One provides Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). This industry-leading solution is trusted worldwide to provide enterprises with secure connectivity for their distributed workforces. The challenge is that many devices and solutions lack native support for the service. This leaves critical systems — from work-at-home networks, to healthcare machines, industrial control systems, and PoS systems — suffering from unreliable connectivity and poor security.

ZPE Systems’ Services Delivery Platform solves this challenge by extending Cloudflare One across environments. ZPE’s Nodegrid devices interface with a wide range of physical and virtual solutions, serving as the SASE on-ramp anywhere they are deployed. This brings reliable connectivity to locations small and large, while unifying the security posture with enterprise-wide ZTNA functionality. Cloudflare One hosted on the Services Delivery Platform makes SASE easy to deploy anytime, anywhere.

ZPE Systems’ Nodegrid Virtual Services Router (VSR) and Out-of-Band Infrastructure WAN (OOBI-WAN)

VSROOBI

Summary

Most enterprises operate a hybrid- or multi-cloud environment, which adds significant overhead, complexity, and architectural challenges. This turns networking and security into an operational battleground, where teams are ill-equipped to win against inefficient operations and outages.

The Nodegrid Virtual Services Router (VSR) solves this as part of an out-of-band infrastructure WAN (OOBI-WAN). The VSR bridges the gap between physical and virtual solutions, creating a dedicated and unified OOBI-WAN plane through which to manage diverse on-prem and cloud infrastructure. This allows enterprises to accelerate go-to-market deployments, reduce overhead & costs, and fortify IT against outages.

Automated Infrastructure Patching for Ransomware Defense

OOBIWANLAN

Summary

Ransomware attacks continue to be successful because organizations often leave infrastructure unpatched. IT teams sit on the latest patches and updates from their solution vendors, which exposes infrastructure for the taking and leaves it vulnerable to weaponized ransomware, increased cyber insurance fees, and prolonged recovery efforts. Why is this normal? Because IT teams lack best practices for applying patches, turning the Friday-night upgrade into a scary job that could break the entire system.

ZPE Systems solves this with the reference architecture for automated infrastructure patching, an architecture recommended by Gartner. This involves creating a dedicated control plane via out-of-band infrastructure, which enables teams to securely patch devices and automate recovery and rollback in case of issues. Big Tech uses this best practice to automate patching and recover systems in case of errors.

ZPE Systems’ Services Delivery Platform: Deploy Any App, Any Time, Anywhere

SDP

Summary

Organizations struggle to manage the hundreds of products involved in enterprise security. Most NGFWs, SD-WAN, pen testers, and on-prem & cloud solutions require hardware platforms to be deployed with the rest of enterprise IT, which creates infrastructure sprawl. This hardware lock-in prevents IT from switching to other vendors and applications, while the technical overhead locks IT teams into performing tedious operational tasks — such as provisioning, installing, and orchestrating dedicated hardware — instead of enabling them to deliver services quickly and focus on providing business value.

ZPE Systems solves this with the Services Delivery Platform. This approach, which Gartner calls platform engineering, facilitates streamlined deployment, activation, and orchestration of services — when and where they are needed — via self-service capabilities and infrastructure automation. The Services Delivery Platform’s open hardware and software directly host VMs, containers, apps, and automation solutions, enabling teams to provide business value through flexible, on-demand service delivery.
