Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN
Application-aware, cloud-managed SD-WAN — the networking half of SASE.
Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN delivers application-aware, cloud-managed software-defined WAN with autonomous operations — connecting branches and users with optimal performance and forming the networking foundation of the Prisma SASE platform. Its ION devices provide zero-touch, application-defined connectivity. Faltrox designs, deploys, and operates it as part of a managed SASE architecture.
Overview
What Prisma SD-WAN is
Traditional WAN is application-blind and hard to operate at scale. Prisma SD-WAN takes an application-defined, autonomous approach: it recognises applications, steers each over the best available path, and self-heals — cloud-managed with zero-touch provisioning through its Instant-On Network (ION) devices.
As the networking component of Prisma SASE, it connects branches and users into the SASE fabric and pairs with Prisma Access for cloud-delivered security, giving one platform for networking and security. Application-aware routing, autonomous operations, and rich analytics deliver optimal performance and simpler operations across a distributed enterprise. Faltrox designs the topology, deploys the ION devices, and operates the SD-WAN as part of managed SASE.

FAQ
Common questions
01What makes Prisma SD-WAN "application-defined"?
Rather than routing by IP or port, it recognises the actual application and understands its performance requirements, then steers each application over the best available path. That application awareness is what lets it optimise performance for business-critical apps automatically.
02What are ION devices?
Instant-On Network (ION) devices are the SD-WAN appliances at each branch. They provision with zero touch when they come online, so remote sites are brought up without on-site expertise — a key operational advantage for distributed organisations.
03How does it fit into SASE?
Prisma SD-WAN is the networking component of Prisma SASE — it connects branches and users into the fabric, and pairs with Prisma Access (the security service edge) so networking and security are delivered from one platform. Faltrox designs both together.
04What does "autonomous operations" give us?
Self-healing operations that detect and remediate performance issues automatically, reducing the manual troubleshooting that dominates traditional WAN operations — so the network adapts to problems rather than waiting for an engineer.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We design the SD-WAN topology, deploy the ION devices, integrate it with Prisma Access for security, and operate and monitor the fabric — delivering it as the networking half of a managed SASE architecture.
06How much does Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN cost in India?
It depends on the edition, how many users or devices you cover, the licence term, and whether you add deployment and managed operation. Faltrox quotes Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN to your scope; contact us with what you need to protect and we will send a quote.
07Can I buy Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN from Faltrox?
Yes. Faltrox licenses Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN for organisations in India and worldwide, and can deploy, tune and run it 24/7 from our SOC so you get the outcome without staffing another console.
