Unified Policies
Many corporate networks consist of smaller, separate networks such as a LAN per location, VoIP, data centers, or cloud applications. At all these locations, a router or firewall is typically installed, which is configured with a set of routing and security rules.
Setting up this equipment at each location is time-consuming and error-prone.
Wanscale utilizes Unified Policies, allowing a single set of policies to be automatically deployed across all active network components by the platform’s smart orchestration feature.
This way, you have the ability to define and apply consistent policies across various aspects within the platform, including network performance, security, and access control. The goal is to enable an integrated, unified approach to policy management.
Unity ensures clarity and insight
Because there is only a single set of policies within the corporate network, it’s easy to see at a glance where any security risks may exist.
Save time and prevent errors
Unified policies ensure that any change you make to your network environment is applied across all devices. This occurs through a fully automated process, greatly reducing the chance of errors to nearly zero and saving a significant amount of time.
The addition of new equipment or new locations also occurs in the same manner and is entirely managed from the portal. Within the platform, everything is then automatically configured.
Benefits
- Insight into security risks
- Low chance of configuration errors
- Time savings through automated processes

Frequently Asked Questions about Unified Policies
Using Unified Policies is important because it ensures consistency and simplicity in policy management. This allows you to implement policy rules in a coordinated manner, making the network more efficient and secure.
Unified Policies can include various elements such as Quality of Service (QoS) settings, access control lists (ACLs), application priorities, security policies, and routing rules. This allows you to manage policies in a coordinated and uniform manner.
Unified Policies contribute to better network performance by optimizing policy rules based on the needs of specific applications and users. This includes prioritizing critical applications, allocating bandwidth according to policy rules, and minimizing latency.
Yes, Unified Policies can be customized to fit your specific business needs. This includes defining custom QoS settings, creating ACLs based on business requirements, and configuring specific security protocols.
Yes, Unified Policies can encompass security aspects such as defining firewall rules, applying encryption based on policy rules, and managing network access control.
The use of Unified Policies simplifies management by centralizing policy rules in one coordinated location. This minimizes the risk of inconsistencies and streamlines the process of implementing, monitoring, and adjusting policy rules.
