Girabit Edge SDN
Agile & Secure Networking for Distributed Businesses (Control for Connectivity)
Is managing network connectivity and security across multiple offices, cloud environments, remote users, or IoT devices becoming complex, costly, and hindering agility? Building upon efficient delivery, Girabit's Edge SDN provides intelligent, programmable, and automated control over your network edge connectivity fabric. It's crucial for simplifying management, bolstering security, and guaranteeing performance for modern, distributed architectures, often leveraging cost-effective, high-performance hardware sourced from China.
Role in the Edge Portfolio
Edge SDN addresses the critical need for secure, optimized, and manageable data pathways between distributed locations and users. It builds and manages the 'roads' connecting your core infrastructure, branches, clouds, and edge processing sites, ensuring data flows reliably and securely – essential for distributed applications and enabling edge AI deployments.
How It Works
Girabit Edge SDN utilizes an overlay network approach (e.g., using protocols like IPsec, GRE, or VXLAN) running on top of existing underlay transport (Internet broadband, MPLS, 4G/5G). A centralized controller provides a single point of management and policy definition. Edge devices establish secure tunnels and enforce policies distributed by the controller, decoupling network services from physical infrastructure for agility.
Key Features
- Centralized Orchestration & Management: Single dashboard for unified visibility, configuration, policy management, monitoring, and troubleshooting. RBAC for secure administration.
- Automation & Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP): Automate site deployments, policy updates, traffic steering via APIs and ZTP. Integrate with ITSM/CI/CD tools.
- Integrated Edge Security Stack (SASE-ready): Granular micro-segmentation (Zero Trust - ZTNA), integrated NGFW, IPS/IDS, SWG, DNS security options.
- Application-Aware Traffic Optimization: Intelligent path selection, application prioritization (QoS), performance enhancement (FEC, TCP optimization).
- High Scalability & Resilience: Easily scale sites/bandwidth, built-in redundancy, automatic failover between WAN links.
- Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Integration: Seamless, secure connectivity to major public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) and private data centers.
Benefits for Distributed Organizations
- Enhanced Agility & Faster Deployment: Rapidly provision new sites, services, or cloud connections.
- Improved Security & Compliance: Consistently enforce granular security policies across all locations.
- Reduced Operational Complexity & Costs: Centralized management and automation reduce manual effort and potential for lower CAPEX/OPEX.
- Optimized Application Performance & User Experience: Ensure consistent, high-quality connectivity for critical applications.
- Simplified Network Architecture: Streamline management of complex hybrid WANs.
Ideal Use Cases
- Multi-Site Businesses (Retail chains, financial institutions, distributed enterprises)
- Hybrid/Multi-Cloud Users (Secure connectivity to AWS, Azure, GCP etc.)
- Remote Workforce Support (Secure, reliable access via ZTNA)
- IoT & Edge Compute Deployments (Connecting and managing distributed devices/nodes)
- Logistics & Supply Chain (Connecting warehouses, transport hubs, tracking systems)
