All Azure-certified devices undergo a rigorous validation testing process. ZyWALL not only passed the test successfully but was also recommended by the Azure team. “All technical tests were verified, and the connections we established from the ZyWALL ATP200 have been very stable for days,” said Mario Afiri, Engineering Director for S. Escalation at Microsoft Azure Networking. “The product was also easy to set up from the moment it connected.”.
With the increasing reliance on cloud platforms like Azure for mission-critical services, choosing the right VPN is crucial, as it serves as the gateway for users to securely connect to the cloud. The ZyWALL family, comprising the USG, ATP, and VPN series, offers a range of product options to meet the needs of any network. Each device is designed as a one-box solution, enabling businesses to quickly and cost-effectively leverage their cloud services without the hassle of deploying additional hardware. What truly sets ZyWALL apart from other Azure-certified products is its support for both BGP (Border Gateway Patrol) and VTI (Virtual Tunnel Interface). These features provide exceptional flexibility and scalability, vital factors for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) seeking a competitive edge.
“To remain competitive and achieve greater long-term success, today’s businesses must be versatile,” says Nathan Yen, AVP of Zyxel’s Gateway Business Center. “This is one of the main reasons why flexible cloud-based solutions like Microsoft Azure have become so popular in recent years. We believe our ZyWALL family offers the best products available for harnessing the power of the cloud, so it’s a real honor to have the Azure seal of approval.”
Integration with Microsoft Azure, via BGP and VTI, is now available for the following ZyWALL security firewalls running ZLD firmware version v4.32 or higher.
