NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud

VMware NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud enables enterprises to support application growth, network agility and simplified branch implementations while delivering optimized access to cloud services, private data centers and enterprise applications simultaneously over both ordinary broadband Internet and private links. NSXSD-WAN combines the economics and flexibility of a hybrid WAN with the deployment speed and low maintenance of a cloud-based service. It includes policy-based network-wide application performance, visibility and control while dramatically simplifying the WAN by delivering virtualized services from the cloud to branch offices. The VMware NSX SD-WAN Edge by VeloCloud appliance is a compact, thin edge device that is zero-touch provisioned from the cloud for secure,optimized connectivity to applications and data. The NSX SD-WANEdge is also available as a VNF (virtual network function) for instantiation on a virtual CPE platform. The NSX SD-WAN Edge with Dynamic Multi-Path Optimization (DMPO) and deep application recognition aggregates multiple links (e.g. Private, Cable, DSL, 4G-LTE) and steers traffic over the optimal links to other on-premises NSX SD-WAN Edges in branch offices, private data centers, campuses, and headquarters. The NSX SD-WAN Edge can also optionally connect to the system of global VMware NSX SD-WAN Gateway by VeloCloud to provide performance, security,and visibility for cloud services (SaaS, IaaS, B2B Internet). This system of NSX SD-WAN Gateways is deployed globally at top-tier cloud data centers to provide scalable and on-demand cloud network services. NSX SD-WAN Gateways implement NSX SD-WAN DMPO, cloud VPN and NSX SD-WAN Multisource Inbound Quality of Service between global cloud services (SaaS, IaaS, network services) and each NSX SD-WAN Edge, enabling multiple broadband and private leased lines to appear as a single, high-performance WAN. The cloud-based VMware NSX SD-WAN Orchestrator by VeloCloud is used to provision network-wide business policy, enable services insertion, perform real-time monitoring,and analyze application performance. Deploy in Minutes Using NSX SD-WAN’s zero-touch deployment capability, NSX SD-WAN can be quickly installed. The NSX SD-WAN Edge is shipped to the branch office where a non-technical person simply plugs in power and a few cables. Activation, configuration, and ongoing management are all handled in the cloud. Enterprise-wide Business Policies NSX SD-WAN makes setting policy as simple as a single click. Enterprises or their managed service providers can define business level policies that apply enterprise wide across many Edges, all througha centralized, cloud based NSX SD-WAN Orchestrator. Link steering, link remediation and QoS are all applied automatically based on the business policies; however specific configuration overrides may also be applied. The centralized NSX SD-WAN Orchestratoralso provides an enterprise wide view and configurability of routing in an overlay flow control table, eliminating complex node by node route configurations. SDN for the WAN NSX SD-WAN brings SDN concepts to the enterprise branch WAN. Business policies implemented across the logical overlay deliver abstraction of application flows from the underlying physical transport. Agility is achieved based on adjusting forwarding to meet policy as well as real-time link conditions. NSX SD-WAN has a distributed control plane for forwarding decisions to be made locally with context, so there are no latency issues nor points of failure across the WAN. Yet each NSX SD-WAN node receives centralized control policies for easy programmability and enterprise wide visibility. A software based approach enables the flexibility and portability of deploying virtual NSX SD-WAN Edges on off-the-shelf x86 based hardware or as virtual network functions (VNFs) on virtual CPEs. Management is configurable via both a GUI and a Rest API. Solution Benefits The WAN is in transition as enterprises seek to improve agility and economics, and adapt to the shift of applications to the cloud. NSX SD-WAN offers enterprise-grade performance, security, visibility, and control over both public Internet and private networks.NSX SD-WAN dramatically simplifies the WAN with zero touch deployment, one-click business policy and services insertion, and cloud-based network as a service.
