Kyme’s SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network)

Increased functionality, security, and cost performance for your wide area network

SD-WAN technology can consolidate a variety of network connections into a single infrastructure, from multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) to broadband to wireless LTE. This allows companies to reduce their dependence on costly, private MPLS connections and use cheaper, public connections for less sensitive data. SD-WAN technology also makes it easier to mix and match carriers based on their bandwidth capacities and to easily establish new connections to remote locations.

This technology can benefit your organization by eliminating the need for expensive routing hardware. Instead, SD-WAN operates from the cloud, with the increased flexibility allowing businesses to scale connectivity to meet peak-and-valley demand. This flexibility also avoids over-provisioning of bandwidth, which further reduces overall network expenses and increases performance.

Kyme’s SD-WAN solution includes:

What SD-WAN gives businesses is true transport independence. Since the WAN is virtualized, it can take advantage of any transport protocol that is needed. This includes 3G, 4G LTE (News – Alert), MPLS, Internet, Ethernet, Serial, or Wi-Fi. Businesses that implement SD-WAN gain total transport flexibility.

Unlike regular WAN solutions, where security is maintained by multiple appliances in each branch office, SD-WAN can include all of them in-box and therefore at a lower cost. SD-WAN also integrates with web-content filtering tools, and offers malware and botnet command-and-control intervention for all the branches and remote devices.

One of the primary benefits of SD-WAN is that it can direct traffic based on the application. This intelligent path control capability can be configured at the centralized controller level and then pushed out to all devices on the SD-WAN. Policies can be created from a variety of variables: IP addresses, application profiles, port numbers, quality-of-service markings, or time of day.

SDN Data Center

Today’s data center no longer exists in a single discreet location; its data, processes, and applications are integrated into the digital fabric of organizations

Data centers are now part of the wider cloud computing revolution, distributed across multiple locations with interconnected nodes. The most valuable function of this data center fabric is to move traffic from physical and virtualized servers to its destination in the most efficient way, and while doing so apply meaningful services such as:

  • Traffic optimization that improves application performance
  • Telemetry services that go beyond classic port counters
  • Overall health monitoring for what constitutes an application
  • Security rules embedded with forwarding

The benefits to your organization are increased speed and lower costs. The agility of fabrics means the manual configurations of physical data centers are unnecessary, lowering operational costs. In addition, since the physical infrastructure doesn’t need to be built, the expenses and limited scalability of purchased hardware no longer limit your business agility or growth.

The main benefits of Kyme’s SDN Data Center fabric
  • Single point provisioning either via GUI or via REST API
  • Connectivity for physical and virtual workloads with complete visibility on virtual machine traffic
  • Hypervisor compatibility and integration, without the need to add software to the hypervisor
  • Ease and speed of deployment
  • Simplicity of automation
  • Multitenancy (network slicing)
  • Capability to create portable configuration templates
  • Hardware-based security
  • Ease of mapping application architectures into the networking configuration
  • Capability to insert and automate firewalls, load balancers, and other L4-7 services
  • Intuitive and easy configuration processes

SDN Virtualization

Security, agility, and cost performance

Kyme’s Software-Defined Network (SDN) Virtualization solution allows the decoupling of the network functions from the physical hardware, reconstructing them in the virtual space. This includes ports, switches, routers, and firewalls. Network virtualization enables the creation of an entire network in software, separated from the underlying devices. Processes, like provisioning or the delivery of security protocols, can be performed automatically and with per-task granularity. The benefits are agility for better integration and load-balancing, enhanced security, and increased scalability for maximizing of IT budgets.
The main benefits of Kyme’s SDN Network are:
  • Network provisioning time is reduced from days to seconds
  • Improved operational efficiency is gained through automation
  • Workload mobility becomes independent of physical network topology within and across data centers
  • Task- and workload-specific granular security creates advanced security capabilities
  • An ecosystem that supports enhanced networking services and better integration with leading third-party vendors
