Introducing Virtual SD-Edge
Open, multi-cloud, secure routing

Overview

In the ever-present quest to improve agility while reducing costs, enterprises large and small are capitalizing on the compelling benefits of virtualization and the cloud. In response, cloud and managed service providers are leveraging Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) to introduce new services to facilitate cloud migration. IP Infusion’s Virtual SD-Edge is an open, highly secure, virtualized router that ushers in a new generation of cloud connectivity networks and services.  Virtual SD-Edge provides open source-based, fully featured WAN and Firewall functions for virtual and cloud environments. Virtual SD-Edge is based on DANOS-Vyatta edition, an DANOS open source version of AT&T’s Vyatta code, which is widely deployed across multiple, white box use cases in AT&T’s production network as well as other service provider networks.

Cloud Migration Use Case:

Migrating enterprise applications and data to the cloud requires a means to interconnect the physical and virtual domains. The Virtual SD-Edge router offers an ideal set of comprehensive communications functionality and enhanced security in an integrated package.

Branch-to-Cloud Use Case:

The Virtual SD-Edge router delivers highly cost-effective, secure and efficient connectivity between branch offices and enterprise resources hosted in the public, private, and/or hybrid cloud. By providing comprehensive IPsec support, secure and ubiquitous VPN tunnels may be seamlessly extended into the cloud.

Multi-site, Multi-cloud Use Case:

The Virtual SD-Edge solution may be deployed on-demand, and hosted in a range of public and private clouds. Extensive routing and communications services may be tailored to the needs of each region or individual sites, enhanced by embedded security and performance services which are provided in a common package, that simplifies procurement as well.

Why IP Infusion

The Virtual SD-Edge is a highly tuned and optimized software that utilizes the underlying compute and memory resources for high speed packet processing functions while also maintaining a highly optimized and reduced virtual footprint.
