At a Glance
The Versa Cloud Services Gateway (CSG) 700 series appliances are next-generation branch networking and security
appliances delivering SD-WAN, next-generation security, unified threat management (UTM), on premises ZTNA and
carrier class routing features all in a single appliance. CSG700 series appliances deliver highly secure site-to-site data
connectivity and security solutions to small- and medium-sized enterprise branch offices and to home offices.
The CSG700 series appliances run Versa Operating System
SD-WAN, multitenancy, and analytics in a single operating system and supports Versa Networks management and
control software, including Versa Director, Versa Analytics, and Versa Concerto. Versa Director supports configuration,
monitoring, and provisioning of Versa CSG appliances, and Versa Analytics provides device, network, and security
analytics for the Versa CSG appliances. Versa Concerto is an orchestration platform that uses the services of Versa
Director, Versa Analytics, and Versa Controller in managing VOS devices.
These appliances provide the following features:
• Unified board design that supports different CPUs and memory sizes
• Up to 14 Ethernet ports including:
• Four built-in 1-Gigabit-per-second (GB) Ethernet-over-copper (EoC) ports
• Two 1GB EoC or SFP ports, available through separate interfaces
• Four 1GB EoC with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports, available if a network interface card (NIC) module is
installed
• Four 1GE SFP, if a GE SFP NIC module is installed
• Eight 1GE EoC ports, available if an 8 port EoC GE NIC is installed
• MDI and MDIX autoswitchable EoC ports
• Two USB ports for plugging up to two external LTE modems
• PoE source support on four Ethernet ports
• Two built-in wireless slots–while each one mapping to its own SIM slot
• GPS connector for geographical location
• External AC power supply
• Kensington security lock to physically lock down the appliance
