Cloud Networking ChallengesThe cloud is a public, shared resource too open for most enterprises, especially banking and healthcare.

Even though public cloud offers scalability, flexibility, and on-demand pricing, customers must still manage their own application-level security. Cloud providers do not offer user control over network addressing or topology management and limit the use of some protocols. Communications between enterprises and business applications in the cloud must travel the public internet and are not encrypted end-to-end.

CohesiveFT VNS3VNS3:net helps enterprises securely integrate data centers networks to cloud deployments. Manage your own overlay networks with encrypted data and controlled access over top of any cloud network.

Cohesive Networks created the first integrated approach to reducing the cloud network management complexity by using Docker containers inside VNS3:net Controllers.

VNS3:net is a software-only appliance that acts as seven devices in one:

• router• switch• SSL/IPSec VPN concentrator• firewall• protocol re-distributor• scriptable API• extensible NFV container

Key FeaturesFederate cloud resources across a single, secure and encrypted overlay network you control.

Build secure hybrid cloud deployments using industry standard connectivity protocols like IPsec and SSL VPN.

Add additional network functions such as load balancing, proxy, caching, NIDS, etc, via VNS3‘s Docker containers.

Data Sheet

AT A GLANCE

VNS3:net is a cloud native network, routing and security solution. Connect, Integrate and Secure your cloud applications with VNS3:net. VNS3:net functions as a hybrid networking and security device. Build enhanced network services over top of any cloud platform network by using layer 4-7 services and the Docker container system.Enhance VNS3:net by using:

• VNS3:ha instantly creates a highly available mesh network for failover back up in any cloud.

• VNS3:ms a single dashboard to manage and monitor all virtual networks.

KEY BENEFITS

Connect your network across multiple public, private, and hybrid clouds. Integrate with existing VPNs, networking devices, and technologies. Secure all data in motion end-to-end with encrypted VPNs and IPsec connections.Comply with industry standards and attest to control measures to meet PCI, HIPAA, and more.Scale cloud networks without limit.Simplify network management by monitoring your network from a single network console.Reduce runtime fees by combining network functions into a single, in-network VM.

Use CasesVNS3:net has been helping enterprise IT customers achieve security goals and establish connectivity across cloud data centers since 2008. VNS3:net gives enterprise cloud networks better integration, connectivity and security.

BMP and CRM vendor Integrates Cloud Deployments into Existing NOC

• Independent software vendor offers Fortune 500 customers SaaS alternative to datacenter-based software or hardware through overlay networks.

• IPsec and Overlay Network isolates traffic over the Internet, in the cloud, and to customers.

European Telecom Giant Connects Big Data Projects to Existing Networks

• Overlay Network links “Super Sites” across public clouds and European sites to provide additional control over existing network investments.

• LAN settings ensured control over signing authority, cipher choice, and key length.

Financial Management Firm Offers Cloud-Only, PCI compliant SaaS

• Firm separates data streams with end-to-end data in motion encryption to ensure industry and PCI data security for customers.

• The AWS-based solution connects bank and credit union customers across the US.

Cloud ConnectivityVNS3:net provides hybrid cloud connectivity to and between existing physical infrastructure and cloud deployments via IPsec and SSL VPN concentration and dynamic protocols (BGP, multicast, GRE, etc.).

Defense in Depth - FirewallVNS3:net stateful firewalls enforce security policies and multiple orthogonal layers for added security.

Available CloudsAmazon EC2 and VPC, IBM Softlayer, Google Compute Platform, Microsoft Azure, HP Helion, Verizon Cloud, Interoute, OpenStack, Eucalyptus, VMware, KVM, Xen, and more.

Data-in-Motion EncryptionEnterprises should treat all networks as untrusted (cloud or not). VNS3:net encrypts all data-in-motion to, from, and inside your Overlay Network.

Docker IntegrationBuilt on Ubuntu 12.04, VNS3:net includes Docker integration. Now you can build in network functions such as HAproxy, Nginx, NIDS, and Varnish SSL into a single VNS3:net Manager VM.

Lower TCOFlexible pricing is based on network complexity and is less expensive than the competition.

High Availability VNS3:net supports BGP, peer lists, and/or VNS3:net standby Managers for peerless failover. You can configure VNS3:net Managers in a mesh for both high availability and multi-cloud/multi-region federation.

Monitoring & High AvailabilityApplication-layer security and connectivity for your networks. VNS3:ms adds full network monitoring and management. VNS3:ha adds instance-based high availability.
