“Customer demands for simplicity, scalability, flexibility, low latency and pervasive security force convergence of the WAN edge and network security markets, creating the secure access service edge (SASE), with a predominantly cloud-based, as-a-service delivery model.”
Gartner, How to Win as WAN Edge and Security Converge Into the Secure Access Service Edge, July 2019
The Gartner SASE Model
Everything is moving to the cloud and all the action is no longer at your data center, but at the network edge. To flourish, your business demands a network that is not just cloud-ready, but cloud-native. Enter Gartner SASE.
The SASE model simplifies what it takes to get the agile, secure, scalable and resilient network your business needs to thrive in an edge-centric world.
A SASE Network
- Merges networking and security into a unified platform, informed with the user’s network context
- Is built using cloud-native principles and components
- Is delivered in the cloud as on-demand SaaS applications

SASE: The Embodiment of Infoblox Principles
At Infoblox, we don’t just agree with the Gartner vision for SASE. We’ve been spearheading that vision—and years before the term was ever coined. As the industry leader in empowering the world’s most reliable, secure and automated networks, we are relentless in our pursuit of network simplicity. So it should come as no surprise that we’ve been out in front in pushing the concepts and technologies that SASE requires.
Converged Networking and Security
Our core network services (DDI) and security solutions have blazed the trail for others to follow. Now they are available in the cloud-native foundation for SASE: BloxOne.
Cloud-Native Architectures and Containerized Microservices
We’ve been at the forefront in using cloud-native design principles and containerized microservices like Docker and Kubernetes to make networks more agile and easier to manage.
Cloud-Managed, On-Demand Services
We make advanced network management and security capabilities available as cloud-based services delivered on demand, while eliminating the cost and overhead of server-based solutions.
Centralized Visibility
Our cloud-based solutions provide centralized visibility of all devices and endpoints across mixed on-premises, virtual and cloud infrastructure.
Network Context
We empower organizations to leverage a user’s network context to optimize network operations and secure application access at the edge.
Local Survivability
Our services ensure that all locations maintain local access to core network services, so that connections to the Internet and cloud-based apps are always available.
