| 0:00.0 | All right. So everyone out there listening, we got Tom from Cato Networks on the line right now. And I'm recording this just because I've been getting a lot of responses, questions about SD-WAN in general lately. And obviously, you know, as the saying goes, not every SD-R-N provider is created equal. And I have my top three SD-U-UN providers that I use on a regular basis. Kato |
| 0:22.2 | networks is one of them, particularly because we can leverage their global MPLS backbone, which has a lot |
| 0:30.0 | of benefits to it. But I'll let, I'll kind of let you talk about that, Tom, a little bit. And I want to |
| 0:34.9 | just maybe just give a general overview of Cato and, you know, |
| 0:40.3 | just maybe some of the main benefits and main differentiators from the other SD-WAN providers |
| 0:44.6 | and talk even about maybe your managed firewall product and some of the very key security |
| 0:50.2 | aspects around mobile phones and mobile devices accessing your secure cloud. |
| 0:55.0 | Yeah, sure. |
| 0:57.0 | I appreciate you setting us up here on this. |
| 1:00.0 | So Cato Networks is an SD-WAN vendor that, in our opinion, is a little bit different than most of the providers in the market. |
| 1:09.0 | So a lot of the SD-WAN solutions are kind of an edge appliance, right? |
| 1:13.5 | There's a box that sits in, you know, headquarters branch location |
| 1:16.3 | and is going to look at the best path in and out of the building |
| 1:19.2 | and kind of, you know, manage class of service in the buffers that are on the box. |
| 1:23.1 | But once that traffic leaves the appliance or the edge, |
| 1:27.1 | it's on best effort internet, right? |
| 1:29.5 | And internet service providers are based on a least cost routing model and not on any kind of application performance model. |
| 1:36.8 | It's just, that's how they're built. |
| 1:38.2 | And that's assuming they're not leveraging, that's assuming they're not leveraging like an MPLS backbone of their own or something like that or a kind of hybrid network. |
| 1:45.9 | So, you know, they could be doing that, but they'll definitely be paying for it if they are. |
| 1:50.1 | Yep, you are exactly correct. |
| 1:52.0 | Right. |
