- Performance – Streamline and optimize app experience and quality of service for your users – wherever they are located
- Efficiency – Unify network connections to reduce WAN costs and scaled capacity, integrating lower-priced broadband, mobile or satellite connections into an existing MPLS network – or build a high-quality WAN with a mix of services
- Flexibility – Maintain high performance for business-critical applications – even when a network link fails
- Security – Secure data across the WAN and to the cloud with strong encryption, application-level security policies and data segmentation
