Benefits of Catalyst 8000V |
|
An enterprise needs to securely connect its premises with its off- premises cloud. A typical large enterprise has a central headquarters, a few regional hubs, two or more data centers, and hundreds to thousands of branch-office sites. The network is either hub-and-spoke or fully meshed. By extending the data center to the cloud, the enterprise wants the cloud to act as another node in its network. |

● Ownership: An enterprise can deploy a Catalyst 8000V in the cloud, access its command-line interface (CLI), and manage it using Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager.
● Smooth connectivity and enterprise-class scalability: With its range of VPN and routing features, the Catalyst 8000V can fit into any enterprise network topology. An enterprise can directly and dynamically connect its distributed sites to its cloud deployment, avoiding the latency caused by the typical backhaul through the data center while overcoming the management complexity of point-to-point IPsec VPNs.
● Consistent WAN architecture: The Cisco IOS XE software-based Catalyst 8000V complements the new Catalyst 8000 router portfolio as well as existing Cisco ® Aggregated Services Router (ASR) and Integrated Services Router (ISR) deployments. Enterprises can now deploy a Cisco endpoint at every node in their network, allowing for consistent network configuration and security policies across their distributed hybrid networks.
● Visibility and cost savings: Many public cloud and virtual private cloud services provide VPN functions as a service. Typically, this service is offered as a black box with little visibility into failures and no ability to troubleshoot, and users must pay a monthly or per-tunnel fee. Using the Catalyst 8000V as the VPN termination point in the cloud allows for a familiar platform to monitor and troubleshoot problems and avoids any additional VPN service fees.
