Simplified Prisma Access Private App Connectivity

Learn how Prisma Access simplified private app connectivity using an anchor service connection.
One way to access a private app is by using a service connection, also known as a Service Connection-Corporate Access Node (SC-CAN). It can be difficult to connect to private apps using service connections because:
  • Indeterministic throughput of the private app due to SC-CAN bottlenecks
  • Latency due to incorrect transit hops
  • Operational complexity in deploying SC-CANs
To solve this issue, Prisma Access has enhanced its routing infrastructure routing enhancements that:
  • Eliminates SC-CAN bottlenecks by improving the internal network
  • Orchestrates an anchor SC-CAN when required, preventing incorrect transit hops and inefficient routing
This design offers the following benefits:
  • Routing setup that is easier to deploy
  • Easy day zero setup
  • Deterministic 1 Gbps bandwidth from a given SC-CAN to the data center or headquarters location where the private app is located
