ION 1000 Overview
ION 1000
The Prisma SD-WAN Instant-On Network (ION) 1000, designed for the enterprise branch site
only, transforms legacy wide area networks (WANs), enabling you to combine heterogeneous
underlying transports into a unified hybrid WAN. It establishes service-level agreements (SLAs) for
security, path selection, and application performance. It also helps gain direct insight into end user
application performance for traditional, SaaS, modern encrypted applications.
Deploy the ION 1000 in a standalone fashion without a data center device, thereby, enabling
granular control and visibility for direct-to-internet deployment scenarios.
The ION device participates in bi-directional communications with the Prisma SD-WAN controller,
enabling configuration of devices, applications, and WANs. It can be deployed as follows:
• Standalone Prisma SD-WAN ION 1000 (No HA)
• Prisma SD-WAN ION 1000 deployed as an HA pair
