A Plug-and-Play Business-Class WAN

Cloud WAN virtualizes every network function and delivers it as a service, including core network functions such as packet steering and path selection. When your SD-WAN is delivered by the cloud, you can leverage your WAN architecture for branch office agility and better app performance. When the cloud is the network, you build and manage a secure WAN over any physical connectivity from any site, with all traditional network functions delivered as cloud services, and without the headache of complex hardware configurations for every site.

Zero-Touch Deployment

When rolling out a new location, network connectivity happens in a matter of minutes and cloud-based business and security policies are instantly enforced for the new location. The wide reach of the cloud WAN combined with zero-touch deployment, orchestrated from a single point, brings a new location online and fully functional in minutes without a truck roll or onsite IT personnel.

Transport-Independent Architecture

Branch office connectivity has never been simpler. Some locations may have MPLS, some may only have broadband, some have 4G LTE, some have all of these. With a cloud WAN, it doesn’t matter. Links are automatically detected and bandwidth—real-time throughput, not just a passive SLA—measured, monitored, and used by virtualized traffic steering services. Applications are instantly identified and their traffic parsed and steered in the most economical way according to one-click, centrally controlled, business and security policies.

Branch Office Connectivity 

Branch office applications, traditionally implemented locally to optimize the user experience, are now increasingly resident in the cloud or being replaced by more modern and efficient cloud-based applications. Branch office personnel must have high-performance access not only to data center applications, but also to SaaS applications. A traditional WAN requires the management of hundreds or thousands of individual branch office configurations; the cloud WAN requires only managing the aggregate services, applications, and security they need.
