The Versa Secure SD-WAN architecture is designed for deployment flexibility. Versa Analytics, the platform for visibility, reporting, and security analysis, can be deployed as a virtual appliance on-premises in an enterprise data center, in a service provider Point of Presence (POP), or in the cloud. This allows organizations to maintain data locality and control. Similarly, the Versa Controller, which manages the control plane, is a software component deployed as a virtual machine (VM) on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. This VM can be hosted in an on-premises data center, a private cloud, or a public cloud environment, providing versatile deployment options to fit various network architectures.

A. Versa Controller supports multiple deployment models, including on-premises and private/public cloud, not exclusively cloud-based installations.

C. Versa Analytics is not limited to a cloud-based installation; it fully supports on-premises deployment in an enterprise data center.
