devices and services), the industry is taking WAN Edge networking,
security and services to the next level with SASE,” said Sanjay
Uppal, senior vice president and general manager, Service Provider
and Edge, VMware. “VMware continues to advance its SASE platform
and we believe the Gartner recognition of VMware SD-WAN, a core
