Ubiquiti's seamless transition from home networking to enterprise solutions sets a new standard in cloud network management and multivendor SASE in combination with Zscaler.
Ubiquiti’s Evolution: From Home Networks to Enterprise Networking
Ubiquiti started as a brand known for revolutionizing home networking with its user-friendly and high-performance products. Over the years, the company has expanded its scope, entering the enterprise networking market with the same ethos of simplicity and efficiency.
Today, Ubiquiti is pushing the boundaries in the enterprise sector, offering robust solutions that are not only easy to deploy but also highly scalable. Their leap from home networks to enterprise-grade solutions is marked by innovation and a commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable networking products.
Effortless SD-WAN Deployment Across Multiple Sites
One of Ubiquiti’s standout offerings in the enterprise realm is its SD-WAN solution. With the ability to deploy SD-WAN across up to 1000 sites, it offers unprecedented ease of use and scalability for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
The cloud-managed SD-WAN simplifies network management, enabling IT teams to configure, monitor, and manage their entire network infrastructure from a single, intuitive interface. This ease of deployment and management makes Ubiquiti a compelling choice for businesses looking to expand their network capabilities without the complexity typically associated with multi-site deployments.
Advanced Features: Zone-Based Firewalls and Policy-Based Routing
With the release of Network Version 9.0, Ubiquiti introduced advanced features such as zone-based firewalls and policy-based routing, further cementing its position in the enterprise market. These features provide enhanced security and traffic management capabilities, essential for modern business networks.
The zone-based firewall allows for granular control over network traffic, ensuring that security policies are enforced consistently across all zones. Policy-based routing enables precise control over the path that traffic takes through the network, optimizing performance and reliability.
Unified Management of Enterprise-Grade WiFi and Switches
Ubiquiti’s enterprise-grade WiFi access points and switches are designed to deliver high performance and reliability. What sets them apart is their unified management interface, which simplifies the administration of the entire network.
The ability to manage WiFi and switches from the same UI enhances operational efficiency and reduces the learning curve for IT teams. Additionally, Ubiquiti’s microsegmentation feature enables one-click segmentation of the network, directing client traffic to Zscaler for enhanced security.
Cost-Effective Cloud Security with Zscaler Integration
One of the most compelling aspects of Ubiquiti’s enterprise solutions is their upcoming one-click integration with Zscaler`s SSE solution, that they currently develop with Rheintec. This integration offers SMBs a cost-effective way to implement scalable and manageable cloud security.
Ubiquiti’s license-free approach frees up budget for businesses to invest in Zscaler’s zero trust architecture. This combination delivers a powerful, automated, and secure multivendor SASE infrastructure, making it a formidable competitor to traditional vendors like Cisco and Fortinet.
Rheintec recommends leveraging Ubiquiti’s WAN-edge, WiFi access points, and switches in combination with Zscaler’s SSE to achieve a cost-effective, simple, and secure IT infrastructure that meets the dynamic needs of today’s businesses.
