VMware SD-WAN Edge 3800 Router

VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud® is a cloud-delivered solution for network operators and application owners who want to ensure high application performance and availability for their end users while lowering networking costs. VMware SD-WAN ensures a reliable and resilient wide area network (WAN), with a choice of connection types, including Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), LTE, Wi-Fi, and broadband. VMware SD-WAN combines multiple links and uses traffic steering technology to select the best path for each application to ensure consistent performance and overcome quality issues and outages. It can detect slight degradation that would affect application performance, improve performance over a single link using congestion mitigation technology, and adapt without any noticeable impact on the user experience.

VMware SD-WAN components

The VMware SD-WAN solution consists of hosted or on-premises cloud gateways; branch office appliances and data center appliances; a central orchestrator to automate policies; and virtual services insertion capabilities.

VMware SD-WAN Edge

Enterprise-class appliances that provide secure, optimized connectivity to applications in any location, including private data centers, public clouds, and hybrid deployments.

• VMware SD-WAN Edge software is zero touch provisioned from the cloud for secure, optimized connectivity to applications and data.

• The VMware SD-WAN Edge with VMware SD-WAN Dynamic Multipath Optimization (DMPO) and deep application recognition aggregates multiple links (e.g., Private, Cable, DSL, 4G-LTE) and steers traffic over optimal links to other on-premises VMware SD-WAN Edges in branch offices, private data centers, campuses, and headquarters.

• They can easily integrate with the existing network via routing protocols and benefit from dynamic learning and automation. VMware SD-WAN Edges deliver highly available deployment with a redundancy protocol.

• They can host virtual network function (VNF) services simplifying branch office deployments of network services.

The VMware SD-WAN Edge is available as a hardware-based appliance, a virtual appliance, and on the cloud marketplace on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure. It can also be loaded in a virtual machine (VM) on a server or as a VNF.

VMware SD-WAN Gateways

VMware SD-WAN Gateways optimize data paths to all applications, branches, and data centers along with the ability to deliver network services to and from the cloud. A distributed network of gateways, deployed around the world or on-premises at service providers, provide scalability, redundancy, and on-demand flexibility.

VMware SD-WAN Gateways implement DMPO, cloud virtual private network (VPN), and VMware SD-WAN Multisource Inbound Quality of Service between global cloud services (software as a service (Saas), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), network services) and each VMware SD-WAN Edge, enabling multiple broadband and private leased lines to appear as a single, high-performance WAN.

VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator

A cloud-hosted or on-premises secure and scalable web-based central management tool provides simplified configuration, provisioning, monitoring, fault management, logging, and reporting. The VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator enables the simple implementation of business-based policies for application delivery, simplifying application traffic management.

Using VMware SD-WAN's zero touch deployment capability, VMware SD-WAN can be quickly installed. The VMware SD-WAN Edge is shipped to the branch office where non-IT personnel can plug in power and a few cables. Activation, configuration, and ongoing management are all handled in th
