Versa Director is the centralized management and orchestration platform within the Versa Secure SD-WAN architecture. Its primary function is to provide a single-pane-of-glass for configuration, zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), monitoring, and lifecycle management of the entire SD-WAN fabric. It acts as the orchestrator, pushing policies and configurations to Versa Controllers and Versa Operating System (VOS) appliances. This centralized control simplifies network operations and ensures consistent policy enforcement across the distributed network.

A. Versa Analytics is the dedicated component for log collection, storage, analysis, and forwarding, not Versa Director.

C. Versa Controllers handle the control plane functions, including acting as BGP route reflectors for SD-WAN overlay routing.

D. VPN concentration is a data plane function handled by Versa Operating System (VOS) instances on hub or gateway devices.

"Versa Director Data Sheet": "Versa Director is the single-pane-of-glass for centralized orchestration and management of Versa Secure SD-WAN." (Page 1

"Product Overview" section). This document explicitly defines the Director's role as the orchestrator.

2. Versa Networks

"Versa Secure SD-WAN Solution Brief": This document outlines the architecture

stating

"Versa Controller...establishes and maintains all the secure control plane connections with all the CPEs...Versa Analytics...is the real-time big data solution for visibility

reporting

and security forensics." (Page 4

"Versa Secure SD-WAN Components" section). This reference clarifies the distinct roles of the Controller (control plane/BGP) and Analytics (logs)

differentiating them from the Director.

3. Versa Networks

"Configuring System Basics

Release 21.2.2": "Versa Director is the orchestration point for the entire Versa Networks system." (Page 13

"Versa Director" section). This official configuration guide reinforces that orchestration is the Director's core purpose.
