Leaders in cloud native networking solutions, Pureport, recently announced the arrival of a new feature for the Multicloud Fabric platform. The solution now powers a multicloud connectivity service for SD-WAN customers. The SD-WAN Connect solution will host virtual SD-WAN solutions in the Pureport Multicloud Fabric. This will simplify private connections between top public cloud providers, and enterprise edge SD-WAN solutions.
Pureport’s Multicloud Fabric platform and services represent a cost-effective self-service environment where companies can reduce the time to build and manage cloud connections. The service also significantly eases the deployment of native cloud applications. When creating multicloud or hybrid networks, the Multicloud Fabric will help companies to deploy a fully secure set of cloud connections on-demand. Physical infrastructure isn’t necessary.
Filling the Demand for SD-WAN Solutions
According to Futuriom Chief Analyst and Co-Founder, there’s a growing demand for SD-WAN providers to offer more multicloud networking features. Pureport’s SD-WAN Connect solution offers a simple and effective platform that combines the advanced functions of SD-WAN with the affordable performance of public cloud providers. Benefits of the service include:
- Better scale: Integrations with DevOps tools like Terraform and Ansible make spinning cloud networks up quick and easy
- Multiple cloud providers: You can access various public cloud providers through one peering connection for SD-WAN on the Fabric system
- Automate lifecycle management: SD-WAN VNFs can enable quick and seamless interconnection and deployment between SD-WAN networks and private connects to major cloud providers
- Reduced effort: Users can create SD-WAN virtual solutions on the Multicloud Fabric on-demand, via the self-service system or customer-facing API
According to the CEO of Pureport, Rich Lee, the platform is the first to provide businesses of all sizes and industries with the tools to create private connectivity on any cloud. Users can then connect those resources to various SD-WAN platforms in one common fabric. Providing access to SD-WAN virtual appliances means the platform can seamlessly automate network feature virtualisation, while leveraging private connectivity options of leading cloud providers.

Silver Peak customers can create virtual Unity EdgeConnect solutions within the Multicloud fabric, then connect those appliances to existing or new Unity EdgeConnect networks in minutes, via the Silver Peak Unity Orchestrator console.

Partnering with Pureport allows Silver Peak customers to access the connectivity options they want most from leading public cloud providers.
