What is Prisma SD-WAN?

Palo Alto Network’s Prisma SD-WAN: Foundation Deployment Service

Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN is a cloud-delivered service that implements app-defined, autonomous SDWAN to help secure and connect branch offices, large campus sites,and data centers redundantly while reducing WAN cost and complexity.

Prisma SD-WAN gives you fully redundant WAN services between all of your sites by making a virtual SD-WAN topology, called “AppFabric”, over redundant WAN circuits independent of the providers or circuit types involved. Traffic can be load balanced over circuits, use circuits with a policy based on application type and circuit qualities (Delay, Bandwidth, etc.) or in a hot/cold failover fashion.

The AppFabric of Prisma SD-WAN connects sites securely with application awareness andgives the freedom to use any WAN service (Internet, Private WAN, etc.) as the underlyingtransport in the way that meets your business needs.
