The record

Purpose: Nuage Networks VNS automates WAN connection provisioning, configuration, and management to meet application-specific quality, cost, business policy, and security requirements.
Connectivity: VNS connects branch sites to on-premises private data centers, public clouds, and provider-managed VPN networks.
Application routing: A central policy repository defines business- and application-specific rules that dynamically optimize WAN links and route traffic against application performance criteria.
WAN transports: The solution brief identifies IP/MPLS, internet, and LTE/5G as WAN transports.
Branch setup: Nokia says automated setup of sites or VPN connectivity can be reduced from several weeks to a few minutes.
Multicloud management: SD-WAN 2.0 provides application-level visibility and control across private data centers, branch locations, and public cloud services.
Virtual functions: The platform supports managing and orchestrating third-party virtual network functions on uCPE platforms, and can service-chain functions in data centers or clouds.
Security features: The security datasheet lists URL and web filtering, Layer 7 and SaaS application control, end-to-end segmentation, stateful Layer 3–4 security, and intrusion detection and prevention.
SaaS integrations: The security datasheet names Office 365, WebEx, Salesforce, GitHub, JIRA, Azure, AWS, and Google as predefined SaaS services supported for access and monitoring.
Security licensing: Nokia notes that some security features are available as VNS add-ons through NSG add-on licenses.
Security controls: Nokia describes multifactor authentication and security key management for endpoints, and PKI certificates and security keys for communications between VNS components.
Firewall validation: Nokia states that its Layer 3–4 stateful firewall was validated by a third party and meets PCI-DSS v3.2 network firewall requirements.
Target users: Nokia describes VNS as an enterprise SD-WAN solution and its SD-WAN 2.0 architecture as flexible for communication service providers delivering SASE services.
Managed service support: For Nokia Cloud Managed SD-WAN in the cited SK C&C deployment, Nokia's channel partner Dongkuk Systems provided first-level deployment and support services.
