Service Provider Backbone Integration

Learn about how services providers can use their backbone in Prisma Access.

Integrate Prisma Access with a service provider (SP) backbone, which allows you (the SP) to assign specific region and egress internet capabilities to your tenants, providing more granular control over the Prisma Access egress traffic. Without the SP Backbone feature, Prisma Access egress traffic uses public cloud providers for network backbone instead.

The following diagram represents Prisma Access egress traffic without SP Backbone integration.

The following diagram represents Prisma Access egress traffic with SP Backbone integration.

Service Provider Backbone Integration was introduced with Prisma Access 4.1.

From Prisma Access version 5.0, you can allow inbound flows to other remote networks over the Service Provider (SP) backbone when you configure the non-inbound access remote network.

SP interconnect supports only the following:

Mobile users, service connections, and remote networks
GCP Regions
New Prisma Access deployments
Explicit proxy egress traffic

From March 2024, you can configure, view, and monitor Service Provider IP address pools to leverage your own IP addresses for Prisma Access egress traffic instead of the egress through public cloud providers.

From Prisma Access version 5.2, you (the Service Provider) now have the flexibility to select AWS as well as GCP for your customers' public cloud egress traffic. You'll see the additional regions in your license activation, you'll see different tabs for GCP and AWS in your connections and IP address pools, and you'll also be able to monitor the public clouds separately.
