Cisco SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp for Co-location

Simplify and better protect your WAN with a better multicloud user experience

Create regional, geographic, or collocated WAN aggregation hub sites and aggregate multiple branch office locations and connect to multiple cloud infrastructures.

Deploy network services at the network edge on demand and in minutes over a Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) or traditional routing infrastructure with simplified orchestration and management. With centralized orchestration, it is now simple and easy to design, provision, and manage trusted network services that are critical to your business.

By consolidating distributed branch egress points into virtual hubs, IT management can reduce network management costs, complexity, and even their attack surface to better protect against threats. And reducing the geographic distance to cloud applications can improve overall performance.

Cisco’s SD-WAN Cloud onRamp for Colocation solution helps solve these challenges through:

• Aggregation. The solution allows multiple branch offices and network services to be aggregated into hub sites for increased security and simplified management with reduced footprint and requirements at the branch offices. Proximity to clouds increases user experience and can reduce branch office circuit costs.
• Software centricity. By converting network services to software, you get flexibility, agility, and simplicity. A central controller managing various software components allows for lean IT and allocating people resources to other strategic initiatives.
• On-demand services. To add a new or updated network service in a traditional environment may mean a service call, shipping dedicated hardware to the site, and weeks and even months to deploy. Service calls are eliminated as services can be added as needed, on demand, without a physical staff present at the location. And it can be done in minutes, not weeks or months.
