CLOUDGENIX SD-WAN Provider SD-WAN TECHNOLOGY: Proprietary SD-WAN; management via Wipro OVERVIEW • Headquarters: San Jose, CA • Founded in 2013, pioneered the SD-WAN market • Core team of renown experts in networking, SDN, cloud, security and web-scale applications • Customers include world-class financial services, legal, retail and technology organizations • Backed by Bain Capital Ventures, Charles River Ventures and the Mayfield Fund SERVICES SOLD Instant-On Network (ION): • Central controller • ION 7000: data center appliance • ION 3000/3000v: edge appliance/software Typical use cases: • Hybrid WAN: combine broadband Internet, MPLS, and wireless • Secure and fast connection to cloud/SaaS • Replace legacy WAN routers with simple, x86-based solutions ELEVATOR PITCH 1. Cloud without Compromise: For the very first time, you can go directly to cloud from the remote office while maintaining the security, visibility, and performance-SLA’s that were traditionally only available for data center applications 2. Simple & Cost Effective Hybrid WAN: Without configuring complex routing, VPNs, ACL rules you can create an active-active hybrid WAN with any Internet, LTE, MPLS that uniquely optimizes application availability and performance, while reducing WAN costs by 70% 3. SW-Defined Branch Office: Dramatically reduce remote office hardware footprint by eliminating proprietary hardware including; routers, firewalls, performance management, and visibility devices. CloudGenix SD-WAN delivers an application-defined fabric with no investment in remote office hardware. KEY FEATURES & DIFFERENTIATORS • Application-defined Fabric - CloudGenix uses application-sessions, rather than packets as its base unit of operation. The network is managed through app-SLAs policies, which dynamically enforce security, performance, and compliance. This unique L7 approach (vs. legacy L3) for networking delivers the best performance for apps, including voice, video and cloud/SaaS apps. • Eliminate Routers - CloudGenix eliminates the need for complex routing protocols and arcane CLI programming. Legacy WAN routers and proprietary hardware are replaced with x86 based software. All network management is done through centralized control, with zero latencies and no failure points. • Cloud without Compromise - CloudGenix enables high-performance cloud/SaaS access without compromising security. It supports per-application controls for “direct to cloud” access. No need for additional hardware at remote sites to implement cloud facing security, compliance, and visibility. And no dependency on extra agents or virtual appliances on the cloud vendor end. • Native Application Visibility and Performance - CloudGenix CLARITY™ utilizes machine-learning to offer native, actionable analytics. Individual apps are automatically recognized and measured - including voice and video. Administrators gain full visibility into applications & network performance, with no extra agents or devices. Troubleshooting performance problems, including brownouts, becomes easier - saving resources and improving uptime
