Open Systems —
Managed SASE & SD-WAN as a Service with 24/7 NOC

Open Systems delivers SASE as a converged platform — combining SD-WAN connectivity with integrated cloud security capabilities (secure web gateway, cloud-delivered firewall, CASB, and ZTNA) in a single cloud-native architecture. Traditional SD-WAN vendors focus primarily on network optimization and leave security as a separate procurement. Open Systems integrates both networking and security into one managed service with unified policy management, single-pane-of-glass visibility, and a 24/7 NOC managing the combined platform.

Self-managed SD-WAN requires the customer's IT team to handle deployment, policy configuration, ongoing tuning, troubleshooting, and carrier coordination. Open Systems SD-WAN as a Service is a fully managed offering — Open Systems handles network design, equipment provisioning, policy management, performance monitoring, and ongoing optimization as a managed service. This model is well suited for organizations that want SD-WAN outcomes without building internal SD-WAN operational expertise.

Open Systems Zero Trust Network Access enforces identity-based, least-privilege access at the application level — users are granted access only to specific resources they are authorized for, not broad network access. Traditional VPN authenticates users and places them inside the network perimeter, enabling lateral movement if credentials are compromised. ZTNA eliminates network-level trust, verifies identity and device posture continuously, and reduces blast radius in breach scenarios — critical for hybrid and remote workforces accessing cloud and on-premise applications.

Open Systems operates a 24/7 NOC that actively monitors, manages, and optimizes the SASE and SD-WAN platform for each customer — proactively identifying performance issues, managing carrier escalations, and applying security policy updates. Standard vendor support is reactive — customers open tickets when problems occur. Open Systems NOC is proactive, continuously monitoring for anomalies and taking corrective action before issues impact users, acting as an extension of the customer's IT team rather than a reactive support queue.

Open Systems primarily serves mid-market and large enterprise organizations with multi-site distributed networks — the complexity of SASE deployment and the value of 24/7 managed NOC operations is most justified for organizations with meaningful network footprints and limited internal SASE expertise. Smaller single-site organizations with simpler connectivity needs are generally not the ideal fit for Open Systems' managed platform.
