Cisco SDWAN Cloud OnRamp for Colocation

Cisco SDWAN Cloud OnRamp for Colocation 

The Cisco SD-WAN Cloud onRamp for Colocation solution aggregates your branch office Cisco SD-WAN or traditional routing infrastructure network services to key regional locations or colocations:

  • Cisco SD-WAN Cloud onRamp for Colocation enables the deployment of multicloud connected services at the network edge.

  • In the colocation facilities, Cisco SD-WAN Cloud onRamp for Colocation provides:

    1. Better quality of service

    2. Simplified management

    3. Increase of security

The traditional architectural method of delivering traffic optimization uses centralized provisioning of elements, such as firewalls, Intrusion Detection/Prevention sensors, Data Loss Prevention systems, URL filtering, Proxies, and other such devices at aggregation points within the network (most commonly the organization’s Data Centers). This approach resulted in backhauling user traffic from remote sites into the primary Data Centers for SaaS applications and internet access. It increases application latency and negatively impacts the overall user experience. For applications hosted in the data center, this approach resulted in the potential waste of data center bandwidth resources. Also, this legacy design proved challenging to effectively mitigate security incidents, such as virus outbreaks, malware exploits, and internally sourced denial of service attacks.

Cloud onRamp for Colocation solves these challenges. Cloud onRamp for Colocation provides the capability of network edge virtualization and extends it to colocation centers. Cisco Cloud onRamp for Colocation enables virtualization, automation, and orchestration in an enterprise network.

Cisco SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp for Colocation Solution—Key Capabilities

Cisco SD-WAN Cloud onRamp for Colocation aggregates your Cisco SD-WAN branch office or traditional routing infrastructure network services to key regional locations or colocations.

Cisco SD-WAN Cloud onRamp for Colocation enables you to:

  • Deploy secure virtualized network services on-demand with centralized policy management.

  • Maintain Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and provide a better user experience with proximity to multiple clouds.

  • Aggregate regional branch offices, provide better security control, and secure user connectivity to branch/remote sites.

  • Connect multiple clouds and colocation centers and significantly reduce transport costs.

  • Decrease the requirements for trained IT professionals at each branch site without sacrificing security.

The Cloud OnRamp solution can serve four specific types of enterprises:

  • Multinational companies - due to security restrictions and privacy regulations, multinational companies cannot use direct internet connections to the cloud and SaaS platforms.

  • Partners and vendors without Cisco SD-WAN still need connectivity to their customers. They do not want to install Cisco SD-WAN routing appliances on their site.

  • Global organizations with geographically distributed branch offices require high bandwidth, optimum application performance, and granular security.

  • Remote access requires secure VPN connections over inexpensive direct internet links to an enterprise.

Cisco SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp for Colocation Solution Architecture

The Cisco SD-WAN Cloud onRamp for Colocation solution architecture includes the following components:

GENERAL FAQ

. It eliminates the necessity to forward traffic into central data centres. Instead, it combines branches of colocation centers, reducing latency while also improving the performance of applications.

Cloud OnRamp for Colocation is useful in certain environments, such as:

• Multinational organizations that prohibit using direct internet connections to cloud and SaaS platforms at the branch level.

• Global organizations that require high application QoE with granular security.

• Employees who require connectivity to the enterprise's resources and applications.

• Remote users that require secure VPN connections to enterprise resources over inexpensive direct internet links without backhauling traffic to a VPN firewall at a central data center.

By bringing secure and networking services close to users and cloud service providers. This speeds up response times and keeps SLAs, and prevents excessive usage of bandwidth in data centers.

You can set up virtualized networks and security features like firewalls, as well as intrusion prevention, traffic inspection, and other edge services as needed, through central control.

• Flexibility: Colocations can enable you to build a scalable environment. You can acquire a package today and later scale it up or down according to your requirements. Also, colocation can allow you to make long-term plans without the risk of making a significant capital investment.

• Interconnectivity options: Many colocation providers are carrier-neutral data centers. They can provide a wide range of connectivity options.

• Security and compliance: Colocations have state-of-the-art security to avoid any breach. It also has policies and controls to meet various compliance standards.

It centralizes security enforcement at regional colocation locations. This allows it to manage traffic, lessen the impact of attacks, and react quickly to security events without relying on each branch.

It's ideal for global enterprises, multinational corporations with strict regulatory requirements, businesses with multiple branch locations, and partners that require secure connectivity, without the need to deploy SD-WAN devices all over the world.

Colocation eases the operation of branches, reduces transportation costs, increases scalability, and improves security and control across all regions.
