Heavy Networking 630: Palo Alto Networks Introduces Okyo Garde And SD-WAN Bandwidth On Demand (Sponsored)

The Heavy Networking podcast welcomes sponsor Palo Alto Networks for a remote work discussion. Today’s show comes in two segments. First, we introduce you to a new secure wireless mesh offering for your home-based users. It’s called Okyo Garde, and it’s not just an AP you hang off a central controller. It caters to the unique requirements of work from home, including security and tech support where the user doesn’t have to call your help desk because their game console isn’t working right. Second, we’ll address a new, simpler licensing scheme that makes it easier to accommodate changes in bandwidth demand at branch networks. With workers sometimes at home and sometimes in the office, you never really know how much bandwidth you need at your SASE SD-WAN edge on a given day. Palo Alto Networks has a new licensing scheme that means you pretty much don’t have to think about it anymore. Our guests from Palo Alto Networks are Mike Jacobson and Rajesh Kari.
