AT A GLANCE Introduction
VMware SD-WAN enables enterprises VMware SD-WAN™ by VeloCloud® is a cloud-delivered solution for network
to securely support application growth, operators and application owners who want to ensure high application performance
network agility, and simplified branch and availability for their end users while lowering networking costs. VMware SD-WAN
implementations while delivering ensures a reliable and resilient wide area network (WAN), with a choice of connection
high-performance, reliable branch access types, including Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), LTE, Wi-Fi, and broadband.
to cloud services, private data centers, VMware SD-WAN combines multiple links and uses traffic steering technology to
and SaaS-based enterprise applications. select the best path for each application to ensure consistent performance and
VMware SD-WAN is built on overcome quality issues and outages. It can detect slight degradation that would
software-defined networking principles to affect application performance, improve performance over a single link using
address end-to-end automation, application congestion mitigation technology, and adapt without any noticeable impact on the
continuity, branch transformation, and user experience.

one-click service insertion VMware SD-WAN Edge
• Assured application performance: Enterprise-class appliances that provide secure, optimized connectivity to applications
Transport-independent performance in any location, including private data centers, public clouds, and hybrid deployments.
for the most demanding applications,
leveraging economical bandwidth • VMware SD-WAN Edge software is zero touch provisioned from the cloud for
secure, optimized connectivity to applications and data.
• Managed on-ramp to the cloud: Direct
• The VMware SD-WAN Edge with VMware SD-WAN Dynamic Multipath
cloud access with performance, reliability,
Optimization™ (DMPO) and deep application recognition aggregates multiple links
and security
(e.g., Private, Cable, DSL, 4G-LTE) and steers traffic over optimal links to other
on-premises VMware SD-WAN Edges in branch offices, private data centers,
campuses, and headquarters.
• They can easily integrate with the existing network via routing protocols and benefit
from dynamic learning and automation. VMware SD-WAN Edges deliver highly
available deployment with a redundancy protocol.
• They can host virtual network function (VNF) services simplifying branch office
deployments of network services.
The VMware SD-WAN Edge is available as a hardware-based appliance, a virtual
appliance, and on the cloud marketplace on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure.
It can also be loaded in a virtual machine (VM) on a server or as a VNF.

VMware SD-WAN Gateways

VMware SD-WAN Gateways optimize data paths to all applications, branches, and data centers along with the ability to
deliver network services to and from the cloud. A distributed network of gateways, deployed around the world or
on-premises at service providers, provide scalability, redundancy, and on-demand flexibility.

VMware SD-WAN Gateways implement DMPO, cloud virtual private network (VPN), and VMware SD-WAN Multisource
Inbound Quality of Service between global cloud services (software as a service (Saas), infrastructure as a service (IaaS),
network services) and each VMware SD-WAN Edge, enabling multiple broadband and private leased lines to appear as a
single, high-performance WAN.

VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator

A cloud-hosted or on-premises secure and scalable web-based central management tool provides simplified configuration,
provisioning, monitoring, fault management, logging, and reporting. The VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator enables the simple
implementation of business-based policies for application delivery, simplifying application traffic management.

Using VMware SD-WAN’s zero touch deployment capability, VMware SD-WAN can be quickly installed. The VMware
SD-WAN Edge is shipped to the branch office where non-IT personnel can plug in power and a few cables. Activation,
configuration, and ongoing management are all handled in the VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator.
