Questions, answered.

What service providers ask most often before partnering with us.

What is EngineSASE NFVI?

NFVI stands for network functions virtualization infrastructure. EngineSASE's edge software platform lets you run services such as SD-WAN and firewalling on one appliance, with centralized deployment and management.

Can I use my own uCPE?

Yes. Choose an EngineSASE appliance or a supported uCPE model from another manufacturer. We'll help you match the hardware to each site's services, performance needs, and budget.*

* The model must be on our supported hardware list, which is growing. Ask us about the model you use.

Which network functions can I run?

Choose from the EngineSASE catalog of supported network functions, including SD-WAN and firewalling. Deploy and manage them centrally, and add compatible services to the same appliance as capacity allows.

Can I create my own service packages?

Yes. Combine supported network functions into service chains and package them into service tiers under your own brand.

What is zero-touch provisioning?

Connect the appliance to power and an available internet connection. Once enrolled and assigned to a site, it automatically retrieves its configuration, reducing on-site setup and the need for specialist visits.

Can I sell it under my own brand?

Yes. Brand your provider and customer portals with your own name and logo, and deliver the service under your own identity.

Can I manage every customer from one place?

Yes. Manage your customers, sites, and appliances from one dashboard. Give each customer access to their own portal, with permissions that control what their users can see and manage.

Can my team manage its own customers?

Yes. Each service provider can create and manage its own enterprise customers, sites, and users. Delegate responsibilities through permission groups while retaining oversight from your provider dashboard.

How does EngineSASE help protect customer networks?

Firewall and intrusion prevention services enforce security policies at the edge, inspecting traffic and blocking activity that matches configured blocking rules.

Which security services are available today?

Security services depend on the network functions selected for your deployment. These can include firewalling and intrusion prevention at the edge. We'll confirm the available services, required licenses, and supported integrations for your network.

What happens if an internet connection fails?

Connect sites over fiber, broadband, cellular, or satellite, using multiple providers where available. If a link fails, automatic failover redirects traffic over the remaining available connections.

Can I combine the capacity of multiple connections?

Supported SD-WAN configurations can bond multiple connections to make use of their combined capacity, alongside automatic failover. Results depend on link quality, latency, appliance capacity, and the selected service.

How do I keep every site up to date?

Manage supported software and configuration updates from one portal, for individual sites or groups of sites, reducing manual work and on-site visits.

Who partners with EngineSASE?

Managed service providers, telecom operators and IT resellers that want to sell secure networking as their own service.

How do I become a partner?

Tell us about your customers and deployment needs through the partner form. We'll demonstrate the platform and discuss a pilot suited to your network.
