Previously, proprietary hardware performed functions like routers, firewalls, load balancers, etc. In IBM Cloud, we have proprietary hardware like the FortiGate firewall that resides inside IBM Cloud data centers today. What Are Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)?

Kentik customers move workloads to (and from) multiple clouds, integrate existing hybrid applications with new cloud services, migrate to Virtual WAN to secure private network traffic, and make on-premises data and applications redundant to multiple clouds – or cloud data and applications redundant to the data center.

Since AVS supports both, the gateway can be deployed in either a Hub & Spoke topology or Virtual WAN. Scale units are used instead of a specific SKU when creating a gateway within Virtual WAN. Figure 1 includes a sample architecture using Virtual WAN. Figure 1: Connectivity into an Azure Virtual WAN.

Data center : Leaf and spine switches, top of rack, modular, fixed and stackable. Traditional WAN : WAN access switches, integrated services routers, cloud access routers. SD-WAN : Access gateways, uCPE, vCPE, and composed SD-WAN services including their cloud overlays. API gateways for digital services.

We believe a data-driven approach to network operations is the key to maintaining the mechanism that delivers applications from data centers, public clouds, and containerized architectures to actual human beings. Ultimately, we’re solving a network operations problem using a data-driven approach. More data!

Understand and assess the limits of your load balancing equipment so your CPU/memory usage doesn’t get strained and impact latency or network downtime. For example, an enterprise, depending on its size, may need to understand WAN usage, ISP uplink capacity, east-west data center hotspots, and inter-data center adequacy.

To quote: “Today’s typical NPMD vendors have their solutions geared toward traditional data center and branch office architecture, with the centralized hosting of applications.”. It’s now possible to get rich performance metrics from your key application and infrastructure servers, even components like HAProxy and NGINX load balancers.
