Rethinking Network and Security Architectures with Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
The growing complexity of enterprise network and security requirements call for a comprehensive approach to enabling a remote user base with secure access to resources and applications. SASE is a framework that combines SD-WAN connectivity and security functions to give your growing remote user base secure access to applications and resources anytime and anywhere they work.
Key SASE Benefits
- Secure, seamless access to internet and cloud apps and data, any time, anywhere
- Better user experience with optimized network performance and lower latency
- Zero trust network access to verify user identity
- Less costly and more agile infrastructure design
- Centralized management with distributed enforcement and decision making.
Burwood Group can help you develop a holistic approach to securing your infrastructure with a fully integrated, cloud-based security solution, enabling centralized management, less physical device implementation, and defense against threats at any entry point.
What a SASE Strategy Can Do For You?
According to a recent Gartner report, by 2024, at least 40% of enterprises will have explicit strategies to adopt SASE, an increase from less than 1% at year-end in 2018. A SASE architecture strategy identifies users and devices, applies policy-based security, and delivers secure access to the appropriate application or data.
This approach allows organizations to employ secure access no matter where their users, applications, or devices are located. It is possible to implement SASE in a practical, cost-effective, phased approach that makes sense for your organization. Work with us to identify your most important use cases and we’ll help you build a roadmap to achieve your goals.

Accelerate Your Digital Transformation With Software-Defined Infrastructure
Digital transformation has introduced new ways to deploy network, compute, and storage resources. IT leaders must create solutions that integrate existing traditional investments with software-defined technologies.
Software-defined infrastructure is the virtualization of your network, compute, and storage resources. It introduces huge benefits in management, automation, and more. Burwood Group helps enterprises define and implement hyperconverged and software-defined infrastructure strategies.
Is SD-WAN Right For Your Organization?
SD-WAN can eliminate costly MPLS circuits, using lower cost options for connectivity such as broadband or DSL
SD-WAN moves your users toward local internet offloading and gets user traffic closer to cloud services
SD-WAN supports high-bandwidth intensive applications simultaneously, a common challenge for traditional WAN
SD-WAN: The New Standard for Wide-Area Networking
SD-WAN used to be a leading-edge network solution for progressive organizations. Today it is a mature, standardized approach for small to large enterprises. Burwood Group is an expert in SD-WAN deployment. From PoC vendor bake-offs to MPLS contract evaluations, our consultants can create a path to wide-area networking maturity that fits your organization’s needs.
SD-WAN implementations can be overwhelming in the required skillsets, bandwidth, and capital expense. A managed solution offers numerous advantages over a traditional on-premise, owned implementation. SD-WAN As A Service can be an excellent choice.

Be Prepared With Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery
Preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure is critical after a natural or human-induced disaster. A business continuity plan enables organizations to keep the business running through these unimaginable situations.
Disaster recovery is a subset of business continuity. While business continuity involves planning for keeping all aspects of a business functioning in the midst of disruptive events, disaster recovery focuses on the IT or technology systems that support business functions. Burwood Group helps organizations create tested and trusted disaster recovery programs.
