What is it?
As the growth of real-time applications, remote workforces and hybrid cloud infrastructure continues, a company’s productivity and responsiveness have never been more dependent on the Wide Area Network (WAN). This combined with increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks targeted at the network edge means businesses also need a solution that is highly secure, provides high-quality connections to services and agile cloud management.
This new Arrow Virtual Appliance combines two best of breed solutions from Oracle (SD-WAN) and Check Point (Quantum Edge) to help organisations deliver high Quality of Experience (QoE), simplify network complexity, reduce costs by allowing for customers to augment connectivity types and provide detailed network and application visibility.
The Arrow Virtual appliance has been built to meet customers evolving SASE requirements, the offering includes SD-WAN, routing, firewall and next generation security options plus enhanced support and delivery options.
What can it do for my business?
Oracle SD-WAN  transforms a traditional WAN into a network that is simple and fast to deploy. It ensures the availability of services, systems and applications across disparate networks and uses enhanced security mechanisms to ensure data in transit can’t be compromised. Oracle has also pre-integrated the Oracle Session Border Controller within the SD-WAN hardware to provide enterprise session protection at the edge. As companies move their services to the cloud, it becomes more and more vital that companies extend their security borders..
Check Point Quantum Edge (optional) is a virtual security gateway with advanced threat prevention that can be deployed through an  SD-WAN  management console within minutes, making it ideal for branch offices.
This solution can help your customers to improve the reliability and performance of real-time applications and transform their traditional WANs using more cost-effective bandwidth options. It creates network efficiency through dynamic per-packet routing, based on real-time network quality metrics, that can react within three packets being sent, to deliver optimal application performance and reliability, and provides best of breed security protection at the edge.
What options are available?
Arrow has created a number of bundles that will help to reduce the sales cycle. Simplified commercials combine several products with Arrow services into a single package with all-inclusive pricing. Price per node/site is simple to understand and quote and additional features including branch Wifi and LTE can be added.
Why Arrow and Oracle?
Oracle is a leader in offering carrier-agnostic, FailSAFE SD-WANs. The Oracle SD-WAN solution was a pioneer in the SD-WAN market and continues to deliver reliable performance with real-time continuous fault detection  and automatic self-healing that allows companies to augment their WANs with different connectivity types – Internet only, MPLS, LTE and others..
