Remote Networks—High Performance

Learn how to quickly onboard a remote site with a high bandwidth using a Remote Network—High Performance.
Prisma Access offers a comprehensive solution for high-bandwidth IPSec termination, supporting large sites, automated load balancing, simplified onboarding, regional redundancy, single egress IP management, and compatibility with various SD-WAN solutions including Prisma SD-WAN. These features collectively enhance the scalability, performance, and reliability of remote site connectivity.
As your business scales and your office locations become geographically distributed, you can quickly onboard a branch site with a high bandwidth using a Prisma Access performant remote network, also known as a Remote Network—High Performance. These networks offer the following benefits:
  • Supports up to 3 Gbps aggregate bandwidth per service IP address or service endpoint address, providing you with a reduced number of IP addresses or FQDNs to use for IPSec tunnel termination.
  • Includes regional redundancy to improve availability and fault tolerance.
  • Uses NAT to reduce public egress IP addresses.
  • Simplifies onboarding with in-product recommendations for choosing locations based on geographic availability.
  • Includes support for Link Quality Metrics (LQM), where Prisma SD-WAN determines link quality by actively probing the Secure Fabric VPN paths over public and private transports and the private WAN underlay paths. The probes provide a constant measurement of network performance metrics, such as jitter, latency, and packet loss. These metrics, along with application-specific performance metrics and Layer 1 through Layer 7 reachability, inform traffic forwarding decisions for new and existing application flows.
