20、interest continues in January 2021,with 17%of end-user calls mentioningSASE across the same set of related markets.Significant vendor consolidation,acquisitions andannouncements to build out a complete SASE portfolio have increased,3 with more expected overthe next 12 to 24 months.However,enterprise

21、 transition to a complete SASE model will take time.The reality is enterpriseshave existing investments in hardware that is not fully amortized and in software contracts with timeremaining.Hardware refresh cycles at branch offices average five to seven years.Relationships andstaff expertise with inc

22、umbent vendor offerings is another factor.Complicating SASE adoption isthat most larger enterprises have separate network security and network operations teams.Finally,not every vendor claiming to offer a SASE product currently delivers all of the required andrecommended SASE capabilities(see Note 1

23、).Even then,not all of the SASE vendors capabilities areat the same level of functionality and maturity.By analyzing the gaps between the future and currentstate of SASE offerings,we provide a strategic roadmap,migration plan and implementation advicefor SASE adoption over the next several years(see

65、vendors vary in the degree of“cloudnativeness”of their architecture.Legacy appliance and virtual appliance architectures need to bebroken down into smaller,scalable components(see Note 2).Use of public cloud IaaS for POPsversus owning POPs is a difference among SASE providers that may impact adoptio
