Extending the Boundaries of Cloud to the Edge
Written by John Gonsalves #Aviatrix Secure Edge makes it simple to extend cloud networking and security to the edge! During their public cloud journey, IT leaders often ask themselves, “How do we — as securely and as seamlessly as possible — bring public cloud/s closer to end-users and services that continue to reside on-prem. The very nature of doing this creates new challenges — applications are being developed at pace and scale, and therefore the ability to connect public cloud outward to the edge of on-prem becomes reliant on infrastructure that needs to always be available, performant, scalable, secure, and cost efficient. Short reminder of some of the key challenges:Installation and setup of on-prem network edge infrastructure is often very time-consuming and costly, resulting in significant delays. Network automation (in cloud vs on-prem) is done differently, which causes increased time to onboard. The on-prem network architecture team may be disjointed from cloud teams, creati
