Hello everyone. My name is Anna. I'm the vice president of Palo products at Paul Alto networks. And today I'm here to talk to you about the power of convergence with Paula Alto networks, Prisma access sassy solutions. When we think about 2020, it was a year of change. It fundamentally changed our world forever. It was a year defined by a global pandemic that affected all aspects of our lives. And much of the world is still dealing with that devastating impact of that.
At the same time, we have seen the resilience of the human spirit and adjusting to adversity resulting in acceleration of technology and innovation that resulted in 10 years of change in 10 months, trans motion and expected to play out over the coming 10 years, we compress into a few months almost overnight. We completely changed and adapted to how we work flex work, whether from the home or any remote location has now become the new norm. We have had the world delivered to our homes so we can stay operational.
Our children's have become experts at navigating online and remote classrooms while adapting to a new model of learning. And at the same time, when we have needed healthcare, we have had doctors and medical staff beamed into our homes. They say necessity is a mother of invention, and we have seen this sort of rapid innovation in response to world crisis. Before when humans are pushed against a wall, they don't give up, they stand up and in a way, their way out of the problem, major events, challenge ally on so many levels, but also serve as a forcing function of innovation.
As an example, world wars where terrible global events that change the scope of the world. But when faced with adversity, humankind goes up the challenge and developed innovations that have had lasting impact on how we now live. We witness innovation across the board, including in materials with invention of large scale synthetic rubber. And that was just a start. We witnessed the both of modern air transportation with CS and precise cabins that ushered in a new era of global commerce and travel electronic innovations in radar and landing navigation systems.
Now help to safely guide commercial aircraft and keep them out of bad weather and rapid production of medicines like Penland help keep people all over the world, safe from dead infections. We are seeing that the current pandemic, a similar level of innovation across the board, we have seen a decade birth of innovation compressed in a relatively small amount of time. The reason for this is simple. It was absolutely required to be able to survive as subsequently thrive through the course of this pandemic.
And beyond as terrible as this event is we once again seen how the resiliency of human innovation can be the catalyst to usher in massive economic growth. We have not only seen business adapt and create new business models. We have also seen new behaviors not possible or even dreamed about prior today. We have completely adapted to new ways of interacting and engaging whether at work at home or at play, which again opens new avenues for further innovation. And we are witnessing examples of this playing out in organizations across the globe, including customers of Paul Alto networks.
I want to highlight two customer examples that clearly demonstrate this point.
One is a prominent us based healthcare organization, Providence health, and the other are leading global fast food organization, Chipotle Providence health, one of the largest healthcare organizations, the us more than 10,000 of their frontline healthcare workers not only needed to shift to a work from home model, but also needed to shift to a telehealth model to connect with patients from anywhere Chipotle on the other side, had a different set of problems, a leading global fast food restaurant, successful in-store model to get customers their orders fast and customized to their tastes needed to adjust to a new business model where the primary audit mechanism for customers through their app.
They also incorporate curbside and mobile pickup options in response to safety protocols during the pandemic, how we organizations like Providence healthcare and Chipotle able to adapt so rapidly and successfully the enabling factor that help these organizations rapidly access to a new model is convergence to enable employees, partners, and customers who are now anywhere to securely access all applications and services they require without compromise. One needs, networking and security to come together in an elegant way.
It starts by combining bestof breed security with bestof breed St van along with adding in the ability to deliver compelling user experiences into a single convers infrastructure. It is not an easy problem to solve, but when done right, provides organizations with the foundation to continue waiting and responding, to change, ultimately leading to better outcomes, however, done badly, the results are quite different. Here's a perfect example of convergence done poorly the anti automobile, a vehicle that combines a boat with a car to create the boat come. The result is the worst of both worlds.
You have a vehicle that cannot perform elegantly on the road, nor was it in the water. When you think of convergence, it can be simply taking two products, pushing them together and hoping for the best you have to think about truly solving the problem in an elegantly formulative solution.
This is where pres VA asset comes in convergence done, right as SASI solution must converge security and SDWAN into a single integrated offering that delivers consistent protection with a high performance experience for all users without compromising security effectiveness on network functionality, our secure access services edge solution PRMA Sasse is a wonderful example of convergence done, right?
We start with bringing the best possible network and our rich history of security, innovation, and execution together in a compelling architecture that delivers zero compromise best in cost capabilities. We are committed to ensuring the security stack that our customers have deployed over the past 15 years and rely upon to protect their users and network. It's the same security stack now delivered as a service. Similarly on the networking side, commenting resources and investment into ensuring the solution we offer is truly industry leading combines to be a key focus area of ours.
It's also important that when a solution comes together, you deliver substantial and value to customers. One plus one definitely has to be greater than two and a global business in the cloud with hundred plus locations. And the industry's only sassy native autonomous digital experience management solution called M, which provides comprehensive visibility and segment by insight helps ensure an exceptional experience for the end users with Prisma sassy. Your employees will be secure, more productive and happy regardless of where they work. The Palo Alto network sassy solution.
ISED around key first at the core of everything we do at Palo Alto is our rich heritage of delivering innovative and market leading security solutions. Saxes our cloud level security platform delivers all the security you have come to expect from the global cyber security leader to seamlessly connect and secure any user from any device accessing any app. Our security as a service capability includes files a service ZT a or ZK, including deep inspection and protection of network, user and apps.
GASB for protection of your SaaS apps and for data protection with DLP cloud swipe to secure your internet traffic. Our goal is all the security required. The edge to access all applications in a secure fashion are fully integrated in our SASI solution.
Second, the robust network as a service capabilities, including the industry's first SD van that makes a secure cloud delivered branch possible integrated into our SIS solution is press my SD van. Our award-winning SD van portfolio that ensures great user experiences along with great network experience in a light way, easy to by solution for branch offices and for all your office needs third, our focus and commitment to deliver incredible work from anywhere experiences, including the highest end user performance and that it has all the tools in tsk to be able to manage the environment.
How do we do that? We have incorporated autonomous digital experience management natively as part of our sassy solution to not only provide a great experience, but also deliver comprehensive visibility segment by insights and use that telemetry to, to auto ate. So it can scale to alleviate the tension between security and usability. Let's explore the key use cases where SASSI is helping organizations.
Like I said, the Palo Alto network SASSI solution, convergence networking and security together, best of breed in a cohesive architecture, allowing organizations to connect all users, locations and things, enabling a seamless work from anywhere experience securing all apps and data, reducing the risk of data breach with proactive best in class cloud deliver security.
There are three use cases that our solution provides work from anywhere, not just through the pandemic, but now looking on supporting a model where most organizations are planning a model where most employees can work between corporate offices, branch office at home office on the road, the scale required to achieve this new reality and enable secure access to all applications just cannot be met with traditional solutions, which will help scaling needs. Scaling limitations.
Customer needs to be able to deploy and manage the environment at scale while ensuring consistent security, wherever the users are located. Second use case is branch and SD. A van just shown on the right side of the slide has more and more organizations start returning to office ensuring not only a powerful SD a solution at the branch, but also a solution that is integrated with cloud delivered security and a deep application. Digital experience management has become more important than ever. The last use case is helping customers with multi-cloud migrations.
What we need to ensure is that as customers are trying to access their applications across any of the major cloud SaaS or private cloud providers direct to app access is provided. Irrespective of whether the customers looking at the branch in the corporate office or at home, let's take a closer look at each of these use cases. So the first one is hybrid work for the hybrid worker use case. We are not only seeing the need for scalability and manageability, but also the need for managing user experiences early on in the pandemic.
Most customers try to scale up their hard, their base solutions, and the quickly they discover that their solution actually hits scaling limitations. A key challenge, many organizations have been facing has been delivering consistent end user experience, whether at home on the, or in hybrid office environments, all network sassy solution simplifies a delivery of consistent networking and security at scale while ensuring an optimal work from internet.
Experienceing the challenges of traditional hardware based approaches SASI solution organizations can take advantage of a true cloud based offer for all the remote traffic, whether where the SASSI solution facilitates the ity of all apps and services, whether on-prem or the cloud in a very fluid fashion, you no longer require different policies to manage the different applications stacks or based on their users are located dramatically simplifying and streamlined remote access for all users.
I wanna walk you through a use case of a longtime Palo Alto network customer was able to leverage our Sassis solution to dramatically scale their remote users in response, to as response to COVID 19 shelter in pace orders that to scale their remote users from 25,002,000 users, they were able to do that in a matter of days in a seamless fashion, right, without Prisma access solution with scale to their needs in a service fashion. So with that, let's talk about our next pillar multi-cloud migration.
Just a few short years ago, we were wondering this whole cloud thing was going to be just for test workloads, niche use cases or bursty workloads. What had dramatic change we have seen in the past decade, not only have most organizations made big, bold micro Schutze in the cloud, many have indepth multi-cloud strategies to ensure the entire portfolio of applications can run from anywhere in the cloud cloud. Isn't just the main provider such as AWS GCP or Microsoft Azure, but also the plethora of SaaS based applications along with private cloud applications.
That's how it's thinking about multi-cloud. The challenge now is ensuring you have a fabric that allows you to securely connect with high performance. This is now paramount. One of the drawbacks of traditional architectures that focus on the data center world as a center of app, your application universe was that all the traffic used to go to the data center first before going world. The problem with that model is that introduces both performance and availability issues for users trying to access SA public cloud and other apps and services.
We need a new model for using the performance and availability burden for today's multi-cloud business. Paul Alto network, sassy solution overcome these challenges and delivers consistent network of security outcomes to make a move to the cloud payments supports and secures SaaS applications. First creates secure continuity to highest environments infrastructure as a service secures users and devices while protecting credentials, consolidates consolidates infrastructure reduces complexities and delivers highest ROI.
Let's take a look at how our customer Autodesk leverage our Sassis solution to solve the multi-cloud manage that a goal of digitizing. It was started by moving on premises infrastructure to the cloud, as part of the, they adopted Palo Alto. SDPA allowing them to move from legacy and to reduce a number of OnPrem centers, which went from seven to one while still getting the highest performance possible for their applications and their branches. So that's one example. Now let's talk about the third use case branch transformation throughout the pandemic.
We've seen a number of distributed organizations from restaurants, past chains, hospitals, manufacturing, facility, and others needing to react and respond to a new way of doing business. In response to these realities, get integrated into our SA solution Prisma SD brand with Prisma access cloud delivered security to truly enable the cloud delivered brands, this integration elements, costly branch hardware and cumbersome network connections while securing your cloud delivered brand sites with Presma demand, giving you the best availability at the most cost effective price point.
It eliminates the need for recreating network and security stack at all locations enabling all brand services to be delivered from the cloud, including networking security, voice services, and more. It also simplifies network operations with machine learning and data science and reduces network problem tickets, less explore how automation was able to transform their branch office bus solution. Automation saw a 10 times decrease in performance and they expect to save dollar three millions in ran cost next to you by moving to max solution.
This was really enabled by reducing telco cost by 25% and gaining blazingly and uninterrupted computing mask solution. So when we think about sassy, sassy makes it simple.
