Autonomous Multicloud Transit and Cloud WAN
Prosimo’s autonomous multicloud transit leverages these powerful cloud-native constructs to set up global connectivity across regions and even extend them into the hybrid cloud. Security, access, and performance are not bound to an external network provider’s reach; instead, the transit network scales elastically to provide these outcomes wherever users and applications have a presence. All this is possible because Prosimo’s solution orchestrates cloud-native constructs to take advantage of AWS’s global presence. Imagine having your own private post office network doing its job while you as a customer figure out where to send your packages, how securely they get there, and how fast they get there.
Zero Trust with Cloud WAN
With Prosimo’s full-stack cloud transit, customers migrate global connectivity from hub-and-spoke and peering models, then connect VPCs to Cloud WAN. Prosimo’s full-stack transit not only orchestrates this underlying cloud-native connectivity in the customers’ infrastructure but also makes these applications and workloads accessible globally to users in a zero-trust manner. Compare and contrast this with a legacy, tunnel-based approach: this would be akin to a modern post office network but using it to deliver mail via horseback.
Setting up a global transit network
Another customer challenged Prosimo with building a global transit network that internal customers could connect to and get zero trust connectivity for users accessing applications and workloads communicating internally with shared services. Prosimo’s cloud-native architecture was the perfect fit for this global, elastic transit that had to work across shared governance models while staying faithful to the cloud-native mandate. Prosimo is cloud-native by design; we orchestrate constructs such as AWS Transit Gateway (TGW) and Cloud WAN for hybrid and inter-cloud region connectivity. Prosimo makes it easy to incorporate new constructs and migrate to them seamlessly.

Core network policies for hybrid cloud
Managing a flat, segmented network based on AWS Cloud WAN provides the building blocks for a simpler networking architecture. Prosimo orchestrates the global network to include Cloud WAN segments and advertises the cloud network segments to the private cloud.
App layer segmentation
With Prosimo’s full-stack cloud transit, customers can define granular application access policies and a zero-trust model for users. If, for example, you want to restrict access to an application for users from a particular geographical region or gain insights into the user experience for that region, Prosimo provides a single pane of glass with which to operate your Cloud WAN-based transit network. A simpler, flatter networking architecture reduces the operational burden of maintaining peering relationships at the network level. Instead, it allows customers to define peering and segmentation policies where they belong – at the application layer.
Migration
We expect that customers will have to continue juggling multiple cloud-native networking paradigms as they slowly migrate to a more modern, simpler global cloud network. With Prosimo, organizations can support multiple connectivity paradigms and governance domains while migrating at their own pace. Prosimo seamlessly orchestrates connectivity between these different workloads while enforcing zero-trust access for users and policy-based app-to-app peering, regardless of how these constituents connect to the global cloud transit. Bottom line – no migration tradeoffs to make.
