Description:
MWC 2024: Secured by Symantec, VMware turns to classic VeloCloud brand for 
new SASE offering.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

VMware is harking back to the past for the launch of its new SASE offering at 
Mobile World Congress 2024 . 

The company has unveiled VMware VeloCloud SASE, a single-vendor SASE solution 
bringing together VeloCloud SD-WAN, and Symantec SSE. 

VMware acquired VeloCloud back in 2017, and originally phased out the 
company's branding some years later, but has now brought it back as it 
launches a new SASE product. VeloCloud SASE return 

Revealing the news in a pre-brief ahead of MWC 2024, Abe Ankumah, Broadcoms 
Head of SD-WAN, Software-Defined Edge Division, noted that the launch would 
help allow customers to modernize their underlying infrastructure whilst also 
monetizing new services. 

He added that VMware's approach to the software-designed edge has to focus on 
enabling a right-size infrastructure (in terms of shrinking the tech stack), 
zero-touch orchestration (as edge locations are increasingly distributed, and 
not always constantly online), and network programmability (looking at a need 
to be agile and flexible where needed). 

Ankumah added that the motivation behind re-introducing the VeloCloud brand 
came because a lot of its customers and partners still refer to VMware 
existing offerings as VeloCloud, despite the brand being previously hidden 
away. 

"The customer is always right - so we're going to reflect that, and bring 
back the brand," he laughed. 

"The number of new use cases we're able to open up...bears the full-strength 
of everything we're doing in the software-defined edge," he added. More from
