Integration with Azure Virtual WAN

The company VMware announced on September 28, 2018 integration VMware NSX SD-WAN of by VeloCloud of page Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN. Now the customers using resources Azure will be able to provide the simple automated and high-performance connection of branch networks. The integrated solution expands opportunities for connection of the loadings let in Azure using VMware NSX SD-WAN and VMware NSX Data Center, and provides steady safe connection of branches with Azure, noted in the company.

In particular, thanks to integration with NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud the Microsoft corporation can offer users different options of deployment, including the topology requiring entering of the minimum changes into the existing networks now. The enterprises can be connected to Virtual WAN network in several ways — using the existing distributed infrastructure of the gateways NSX SD-WAN, by deployment of the gateways Virtual NSX SD-WAN in Azure or being connected directly to Virtual WAN. Besides, customers receive the simplified diagram of creation of network and less labor-consuming individual preference of its configurations in separate branches. NSX SD-WAN will ensure the automated functioning with business politicians, safer scaling of applications and control over them.

According to VMware, the integrated solution will allow customers to rebuild the networks to get the optimized access to a cloud by means of SD-WAN and architecture of a virtual cloud network. It includes possibilities of the Azure Virtual WAN network covering more than 130 gateways or PoP (Point of Presence), and an optimization appliance, the built-in protection and simplicity of deployment of NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud. NSX SD-WAN will provide simple and cost-efficient connections of branches on "the last mile" thanks to Virtual WAN, and connection to and through Azure by means of the general network.

Being a part of architecture of a virtual cloud network, the cloud solution of VMware SD-WAN helps to connect and protect applications, data and users worldwide — Sanjay Uppal, the vice president and the CEO of VeloCloud business division of VMware company said. — Using this solution, the companies will be able to automate connections to cloud environments of Microsoft in process of adding of new branches through NSX SD-WAN without need to configure difficult routing manually. It fundamentally changes economy and an operational model during creation of global high-available distributed networks.

Possibilities of VMware NSX SD-WAN

Possibilities of VMware NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud (for September, 2018):

• Transmission broad banding
  • NSX SD-WAN increases bandwidth economically, integrating segments GCN (global computer network) of any type and providing the minimum response time even for separate flows of applications.

• Support of virtual services
  • On the NSX SD-WAN platform several virtualized network services can be placed that eliminates need for specialized devices and simplifies the IT environment of branches.

• Optimal connection
  • The plane of data and abilities to manage are given in a cloud for ensuring the direct and optimized access to a cloud and also to local resources.

• Automation of deployment of environments of branches
  • The organizations can unroll the environment of branch in several minutes, having activated NSX SD-WAN Edge from a cloud. Automatic detection and monitoring of segments of the WAN eliminates need for setup of separate connections and environments of branches.

• Performance and reliability
  • Implementation hybrid WAN, ensuring high performance, reliability, data transmission and flexible opportunities of optimization of performance of the most resource-intensive applications, for example, solutions for transfer voice and video this.

• Cloud network
  • Elimination of the return transit of traffic in DPC thanks to the network ready to work in a cloud, and implementation of the optimized direct connection to public and private corporate clouds.

• Platform of virtual services
  • Reduction of the space occupied by branch a one click of the button. NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud provides initialization and consolidation of the virtualized network services in the local environment and in a cloud.

• Automation and management
  • The centralized monitoring, visualization and cloud management give the chance to automate deployment of environments of branches and also updating the business politician and microprograms, performance management of connections and resources.

The VMware NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud components (for September, 2018):

• NSX SD-WAN Gateway: optimizes routes to data for all applications, branches and data processing centers and also gives the chance to provide network services from a cloud.
• NSX SD-WAN Edge: it is provided as the physical or virtual device which provides safe connection to the applications placed in private, public and hybrid clouds and also to computing resources and the virtualized services.
• NSX SD-WAN Orchestrator: provides initialization of virtual services in branch, a cloud or corporate DPC with a one click of the button.
