Nuage Networks unveils SD-WAN 2.0
September 2018 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Nokia is introducing the latest release of the Nuage Networks Virtualized Network Services (VNS) platform, offering a secure end-to-end network governance across a multi-cloud environment, with visibility and control from a single management interface.
Nuage Networks SD-WAN 2.0 addresses the modern enterprise network’s need to connect users to applications in a secure, programmable, automated and transport-agnostic manner. This SD-WAN platform offers true end-to-end
policy and data plane controls extending from users in branches to workloads in
public or private clouds, as well as SaaS.
Nuage Networks SD-WAN also offers security across the entire network and detects threats and respond in real-time. This functionality protects against malicious unauthorized access,
monitors all network communication across and within a branch to identify anomalies
and violations of policies, generates automated actions by creating security rules
in real-time based on real-time events and patterns.
To address the massive migration to virtualizing peripheral applications (e.g. VoIP
gateways, IoT agents, and Wireless LAN controllers) through the deployment of
third-party virtual network functions (VNFs), Nuage Networks SD-WAN 2.0 provides
enterprises flexible infrastructure to deploy value added services, whether locally
through hosting 3rd party VNFs on an x86 uCPE or service-chained in the datacenter
or cloud, ending the complexity of installing and remotely managing dedicated
purpose-built customer premises equipment or single-function appliances.
