This joint offering with Microsoft and Barracuda is ideal for any organization looking to reduce high MPLS costs, create unified networking and security across their cloud and premise environment, and improve end user productivity by reducing network latency.  During this webinar, you will learn how you can:   - Reduce costs and improve network performance by leveraging Microsoft’s Global Network as a WAN backbone for SD-WAN traffic  - Utilize CloudGen WAN to unify and enforce security policies across your branch sites and cloud environment(s)  - Rapidly deploy CloudGen WAN and establish connectivity between branch sites and your Azure environment  - Simplify ongoing management, monitoring, and maintenance by leveraging Vandis’ Azure MSP team  Vandis is a long-standing partner of Barracuda and Microsoft. Our team of expert engineers has extensive experience in designing and implementing their solutions.
