Network Edge Data Sheet
Get more information about Network Edge specifications and see how it solves essential use cases for enterprises and solves your pain points.
DownloadNetwork Edge provides virtual network services that run on a modular infrastructure platform, optimised for instant deployment and interconnection of network services. See how you can select, deploy, scale and connect secure virtual network services at the edge in minutes, with no additional hardware requirements.
Benefits of Virtual Network Services
Scale network services from the core to the edge without the need for any CAPEX or additional physical hardware or equipment. Reduce bottlenecks created by manual network configurations, additions and changes.
Lower the barrier to enter new markets with better performance and agility at a lower risk.
Deploy network services in proximity to both the cloud providers and end users; unlock new use cases that core IT deployment models can’t handle (e.g. IOT, Machine Learning, AI, etc.)
Choice of multiple vendor virtual network services, highly customisable, leverage the same vendors you already use for on-premises deployments.
Available in minutes vs. months through automated, flexible, network configurations.
Includes clouds, networks, public internet, WAN providers and digital supply chain.
Easily stitch together and optimise virtual network services from different vendors as part of a single workflow, freeing up time for the network team.
Build a digital edge closest to customers, employees, partners and ecosystems; enable ultra-low latency routing between clouds and other destinations seamlessly.
Access device directly with SSH user and whitelisting flexibility
Connect virtual and physical environments
Open command line interface access
Customise routing directly in command line interface with NAT and route filtering
Private IP and public peering announcement
BGP with 2- and 4-byte ASNs
VPN termination and multisite VPN tunnels
256-bit IPSec encryption with zero-touch provisioning
