Prosimo – Pioneering Transformations in Multi-Cloud Infrastructure, Zero Trust Security, Agile Energy Solutions, and Network Revolution

Prosimo streamlines the multi-cloud infrastructure for distributed enterprise cloud endeavors, providing companies with an integrated stack that ensures innovation acceleration while maintaining control. The comprehensive stack encompasses cloud networking, performance, security, observability, and cost management. Powered by data insights and machine learning models, Prosimo incorporates autonomous cloud networking to mitigate complexity and minimize risk. Leading cloud-forward enterprises, including those in the Fortune 100, have embraced Prosimo to effectively launch revenue-generating applications, enhance operational efficiency, and expedite positive business outcomes. Supported by prominent investors like General Catalyst and WRVI Capital, Prosimo is at the forefront of revolutionizing cloud solutions.

Cloud Transit Transformation

Prosimo initiated discussions with the company, outlining its architecture and segmenting essential components into two distinct categories: Architecture and Operations. While traditional design and build operations often operate separately, Prosimo integrates connectivity, security, and content delivery into a unified operational deployment, termed "Full-Stack Cloud Transit." This integrated approach enables Prosimo to address three primary use-cases: Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Network Transit, and App-to-App Transit.

By amalgamating connectivity, security, and content delivery, Prosimo expedites the introduction of new features or applications without the cumbersome process of deploying these functions separately. The Prosimo Edge embodies Full-Stack Cloud Transit—a network service stack managed on Kubernetes as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and deployable within minutes in any region.

Prosimo seamlessly identifies and establishes connections with existing cloud-native network functions like Transit Gateway in AWS. This cloud-native adaptability allows the "Edge" to interface with existing cloud-native functions or orchestrate new ones to support application expansion. Consequently, Prosimo can integrate itself as a service seamlessly—without disruptions—into any existing deployment scenario, whether brownfield or greenfield.

Zero Trust Security Implementation in a Global Fintech Enterprise

A leading fintech company specializing in business software, with a widespread presence spanning 15 countries and a workforce of 15,000 employees, is undergoing a transformative shift in how it manages and modernizes access to applications for employees and partners. The company's Security and Risk management department is spearheading the adoption of a Zero Trust security model, a strategic approach ensuring rigorous validation, authorization, and strict access control for every user and device, irrespective of their location within or outside the network.

Drivers of Zero Trust Adoption

The company's pivot towards Zero Trust is propelled by several key factors:

• Secure Remote Access: The imperative for secure and seamless access to enterprise applications is critical for remote workers, reflecting a growing trend in the modern workforce.
• Core Business Applications: Ensuring the security of core business applications is paramount, extending to customers and partners who interact with these critical systems.
• Cloud Adoption in AWS: The increased reliance on cloud services, particularly within the AWS infrastructure, necessitates a security model that aligns with the dynamic nature of cloud environments.
• Evolving Threat Landscape: The emergence of sophisticated cyber threats challenges the efficacy of traditional VPN security solutions, prompting a more robust security paradigm.

In addition to security considerations, the fintech company is embracing a work style reform with a notable global footprint. The traditional office-centric model is giving way to a more flexible approach, allowing employees to work from anywhere, whether at home or in a cafe. This shift, driven by the changing dynamics of work, demands a reevaluation of remote access solutions. While remote access has been part of the corporate landscape for years, it is now evolving from a supplementary feature to a primary means of connecting to enterprise applications.

Furthermore, the company recognizes that the user experience, often overlooked in the past when users and applications were predominantly co-located within enterprise campuses, is now a central consideration. As employees are dispersed globally, providing a seamless and user-friendly experience becomes integral to the success of the Zero Trust security model and the broader work style reform initiative.

Agile Transformation

Navigating the intricacies of emerging markets presents a challenge where the line between substantial market presence and inconspicuous failure is exceptionally thin. For a Fortune 500 company entrenched in the energy sector, the strategic shift towards becoming a software-centric entity marked a pivotal moment. This transformation aimed to empower utilities, manufacturers, and building owners with digital solutions, fostering operational efficiency and sustainability in an evolving landscape.

Despite boasting nearly two centuries of business legacy, the company recognized the imperative for a new paradigm of business agility. Accelerating software development, swiftly adopting and implementing cutting-edge technologies, exploring untapped global markets, and seamlessly integrating acquisitions were identified as critical components to expedite growth and ensure long-term viability.

The unequivocal decision to embrace cloud technology became the linchpin of this transformation. Over a span of several years, the company orchestrated the migration of pivotal business systems to a dynamic multi-cloud environment spanning a network of twelve regions across Azure, AWS, and GCP platforms worldwide. Evolving into a truly cloud-centric enterprise, the company prioritized unfettered application access for employees, partners, and stakeholders, ensuring seamless connectivity wherever business endeavors took them. This strategic move positioned the company at the forefront of technological innovation, laying the foundation for sustained growth and resilience in the face of market volatility.

Revolutionizing Networking

In pursuit of simplifying multi-cloud networking on a global scale, the director of cloud platform at an esteemed organization embarked on an extensive exploration of solutions. Traditional options such as SD-WAN and MPLS vendors were considered, along with contemplation of conventional layer three networking approaches. However, recognizing the need for a radical shift in networking strategy, the director turned to Prosimo.

Rooted in the cloud, the Prosimo Application eXperience Infrastructure (AXI) offers seamless integration with existing cloud-native network structures. This integration ensures a direct and secure path to application endpoints, concurrently enhancing both security and performance. Empowered by Prosimo, the company's cloud architects and operations teams gained the ability to establish secure connectivity to applications deployed across numerous Azure, AWS, and GCP environments globally. The agility to scale to new regions is streamlined, achieved within minutes by deploying a Prosimo Edge to the desired region. Prosimo seamlessly manages all orchestration, providing unparalleled visibility and control.

Automating multi-cloud networking through Prosimo introduces a centralized approach, consolidating operations into a single management console. Cloud operators can effortlessly initiate instances, configuring service level agreement (SLA) parameters based on performance, security, reliability, and cost. Users experience swift onboarding, with Prosimo ensuring optimal routing and content caching at the edge, boosting performance without necessitating additional cloud resources. In essence, Prosimo's innovative solution revolutionizes the landscape of multi-cloud connectivity, offering a comprehensive and efficient networking paradigm for organizations operating on a global scale.
