Netskope is expanding its NewEdge network by opening a new data center in Vienna, Austria. With the addition of the Vienna data center, the NewEdge infrastructure will be improved for Netskope services with high performance and lower latency.
Up to 10x performance improvement
With the shift to the remote or hybrid-office workforce, companies are relying on cloud-based solutions to bridge the gap from office to home for their employees. 20% of users moving sensitive data among multiple cloud apps and services, so businesses have to prioritize security during this era of rapid digital transformation.
Jason Hofmann, VP of Platform Architecture and Services at Netskope, said,
“With the Vienna data center, users not only in Austria, but also in countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, and Turkey have seen an up to 10x performance improvement. As the world’s most well-connected network for cloud security and data protection, it is our mission to remove the traffic jams or unpredictable performance typical of other cloud security solutions, like those built on public cloud infrastructure. Customers no longer need to choose between security and performance because Netskope delivers both.”
As a private cloud network, NewEdge delivers inline security services through a carrier-grade, next-generation global infrastructure based on advanced application and network optimization technologies and processes. By mitigating the challenge of the public internet, it results in a better web, cloud, and private application performance for most Netskope customers.
Additionally, NewEdge works with a customer’s existing router, firewall, and proxy investments utilizing IPSec/GRE tunnels or proxy chaining, plug-and-play integrations with SD-WAN solutions.
