Notice
We are retiring the Ecessa product line and recommending migration to Versa SD‑WAN/SASE. This page summarizes key dates, support details, and your migration options.
Key Dates
- End of Sale (EOS): December 31, 2025 (or until inventory runs out)
- End of Life (EOL): December 31, 2026 (support concludes)
Why the change?
To better meet modern performance, security, and cloud‑readiness requirements, we are consolidating our investments on a unified networking and security platform. Retiring legacy appliances enables us to deliver improved reliability, stronger protection, and simplified operations.
Recommended successor: Versa SD‑WAN/SASE
Versa provides application‑aware routing, centralized cloud orchestration, and integrated security within a converged SASE architecture.
- Application‑aware traffic steering and SLA policies
- Integrated security (NGFW, ZTNA, SSE controls)

Outcome: A modern, secure, and scalable platform with simplified operations and better visibility.
