Case Study: SB Energy achieves secure, resilient solar plant connectivity and seamless remote access with Versa Networks Unified SASE

Powering Up Secure Solar Energy Networks with Versa Unified SASE An Inside Look with SB Energy

SB Energy, a utility-scale solar, energy storage, and technology platform that owns and operates 2 GW of generation capacity, needed to secure and reliably connect distributed solar plants, SCADA telemetry to Azure, remote employees, and third‑party contractors across mixed transports (internet, LTE, satellite). To simplify complex VPN workflows, improve visibility, and reduce third‑party risk, SB Energy selected Versa Networks’ Unified SASE platform—deploying Versa Secure SD‑WAN, Versa Secure Private Access (VSPA), and Versa Secure Internet Access.

Versa Networks implemented Secure SD‑WAN for resilient, encrypted plant‑to‑Azure connectivity, VSPA (ZTNA) to replace legacy VPNs and provide seamless global access via gateways in North America, Europe and Asia, and cloud‑delivered internet security (SWG, FWaaS, CASB, DLP). The deployment delivered dual‑circuit resiliency with automatic failover, eliminated client certificate VPN issues, reduced troubleshooting and administrative burden, improved third‑party and IoT security posture, and unified policy and visibility across SB Energy’s operations.
