What does Versa Director do? Is it widely used?

Second paragraph:

> Versa Director systems are primarily used by Internet service providers (ISPs), as well as managed service providers (MSPs) that cater to the IT needs of many small to mid-sized businesses simultaneously.

From their own website:

> Versa Director is Versa Networks’ virtualization and service creation platform that simplifies the creation, automation and delivery of services using Versa WAN edge software, FlexVNF.

Yes, but that doesn’t really do it for me, so I was wondering if someone who has used them could explain it better.

enterprise-scale remote device management. e.g. a platform used to roll out firmware updates to millions of routers

It's a SD-WAN. Bundles up a bunch of network tools into a proprietary managed product to splice together multile WAN links, load balance them, minimise spend, and maximize uptime while keeping latency down and throughput up.

Versa Director is the management solution for their SD-WAN, SD-LAN, SASE, ZTNA and whatnot. It manages the Versa CSG routers and their respective configuration.

Here in Paraguay we have an ISP using it for their enterprise secure SD-WAN offering. I know it is deployed in Colombia also by the same ISP. So, it is used, although widely i do not know.

It is similar to FortiManager, Aruba Central, and the like.
