Viptela is extending its Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) platform to enable customers to extend their Wide Area Network (WAN) into the Microsoft Azure public cloud environment. An
Enterprise can now treat their Azure Virtual Network (VNET) resource as a branch and benefit from all the SD-WAN capabilities offered by the Viptela platform. All Viptela elements can also be deployed on a Hyper-V hypervisor.
Viptela said its SD-WAN platform provides ubiquitous connectivity, zero-trust security, end-to-end segmentation with application aware SLA and QoS policies for enterprise WANs that span data centers, branches, remotes offices and cloud resources. It enables organizations to mix and match a variety of connections from different service providers including MPLS, broadband, 3G/4G LTE, satellite and point-to-point links and manage them as a single network. With Viptela, cloud applications running on Microsoft Azure provide the same user experience as if they were hosted in a company’s own data centers.
“Microsoft Azure, Office 365 and Skype for Business are pervasive application services used by our customers,” said Ramesh Prabagaran, Vice President of Product Management for Viptela. “The ability of the Viptela SD-WAN platform to integrate Enterprise WANs with Azure public cloud resources, creates one ubiquitous, optimized and easy to manage connectivity fabric.”
