TAKE ITTO THE EDGETAKE ITTO THE EDGEThe edge is the new horizon for IT convergence. Whether the edge is dozens remote offices, an oil rig in the middle of the ocean, or ten thousand pop-up retail stands in shopping centers worldwide, the challenges are similar. The network, services, and functions converge into a single capability that needs to be delivered anytime, anywhere and instantly updated, removed or modified.

Delivering services to your distributed enterprise has always been a challenge. The basic operational model of our infrastructures is based on ideas from the last century. The enterprise has expanded, and the networks have exploded. Yet, the way we operate hasn’t changed. As we approach the local distributed edge computing world, the existing status quo is making the manual task operating and managing those infrastructures a nearly impossible. Locations and services remain distant and remote.

CLOUDWAN is a single solution delivering all the components needed for your journey to the edge.

• The speed and agility of overlay networks.

• The delivery, management, integration and control of NFV and network orchestration.

• Applications and Dev Ops at the edge of your network.

• Central Interface – one dashboard operates everything

• Control and Integration – management plane that converges devices, networks, users, and edge into single operations space.

• Overlay Network – edge enabled network that abstracts management into a single unified networking space.

• Private/Public Cloud- integrates into the overlay network to create seamless network connectivity.

• Internet – breakout traffic goes directly to subscribed cloud services rather than backhauling.

• Underlay Networks – traditional networks (private, broadband, mobile) that still perform the grunt work of transport but are managed as one cohesive integration by the overlay network.

• Edge Applications – unified deployment, management, operations, updates, removal and orchestration that allows direct integration with modern operational processes and DevOps.

• Security – create once, deploy everywhere

• REST API – integration API’s to the entire edge infrastructure

First the digital revolution, and now the explosion of IoT is disrupting every business on the planet. Traditional corporate structures are morphing into agile, responsive enterprises that converge networks, services and capabilities.

Incremental changes to the traditional way of running the business are not enough. To support new business models and to deliver business value, IT must be able to support dynamic and rapidly evolving business requirements, such as:

• Ability to deliver capabilities and services anywhere, quickly.

• Cloud like services delivered only locally to our users (edge computing).

• Containment of traffic, data, processing and operational informatics.

Traditional IT is located in central data centers, clouds and tightly integrated with backhauled traffic. As a result, IT is typically spread very thin locally, yet responsible for dozens of siloed services.

Local distributed computing is here (edge computing), and next generation infrastructures must be responsive to the new demands of the enterprise.

• Overcome the limits of centralized services, capabilities and compliance.

• Implement IoT, lightweight local services and data flows that cannot be efficiently centralized.

• Manage latency and traffic in the massive shift to local-centric data, sensors and computation.

NEXT GENERATION INFRASTRUCTURENEXT GENERATION INFRASTRUCTURE

Edge Enabled Overlay NetworkThe journey starts with a centralized managed overlay network that unifies and virtualizes the WAN

1.

Global Traffic VisibilityDeep insight into the networks and applications everywhere, allows edge changes using real metrics, not hunches or assumptions

2.

Transition Legacy NetworksData from global visibility ensures that transition from legacy networks occurs without disruption to business operations

3.

Hybrid Traffic Management and Internet BreakoutAs we transition, we start breaking out traffic to services directly and use hybridWAN that optimize across all available links, alleviating pressure on private network connections

4.Public and Private Cloud ConnectionDirect and secure connections between public clouds and the overlay networks unifies management, connections and capabilities

5.

Vendor Agnostic NFVStacks of physical appliances are replaced with local virtual ones

6.

Edge ApplicationsConsistent and universal edge capabilities are deployed

Slash the time and labor costs when you create seamless edge empowered infrastructure everywhere using software defined WAN (SD-WAN). Achieve efficiencies and cost savings without making major network changes. Continue using your existing circuits or replace with more cost-effective connections.

EDGE ENABLED OVERLAY NETWORKCreating the Edge

1.

Centrally visualize internal application-based traffic usage for all of your services at all locations. Immediately change and push policies and topologies to optimize your edge traffic flows and instantly update not just networks, but infrastructure and services.

GLOBAL TRAFFIC VISIBILITYVisualization for the Edge

2.

Continue to use legacy infrastructure seamlessly with edge enabled ones, mix and match, while being able to change topologies freely. CLOUDWAN supports your timeframes in moving to a singular overlay network.

TRANSITION LEGACY NETWORKSEmpowering the Edge

3.

Utilize your connections effectively, by balancing and optimizing network utilizing both affordable broadband and existing business lines. Directly breakout cloud services, or for browsing and social media using the connect that makes the most business sense while supporting edge performance requirements with application-based dynamic path selection. Traffic can be routed through a hybrid of different paths (multi-protocol label switching (MPLS), primary broadband, secondary broadband) based on the application and link quality metrics. You can de ne the best path depending for each service, application and/or service level agreement (SLA).

HYBRID TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND INTERNET BREAKOUT Traffic at the Edge

CLOUDWAN enables secure connectivity and easy management of your edge computing needs. The same hardware device that controls the CLOUDWAN overlay network also supports the deployment, management and integration of your edge applications. Once an organization has enabled their edge applications, operations and management take on a whole new dimension. Changes to the infrastructure, services, capabilities and experience occur at the speed of software, and no longer limited human or “truck roll” speed.

EDGE APPLICATIONS Using your Edge

7.

Easy manage network function virtualization (NFV) capabilities that operate on your edge infrastructure. NFV’s can be installed, managed, upgraded and replaced in thousands of places with a few clicks of a button, rather than in cumbersome and complex deployments.
