vEdge, ISR1K , ISR4K and ASR1K, ENCS,Cisco Meraki • Network as a Services • Upgrade Existing WAN ISR4K Router

• Cloud on Ramp (IaAS SaAS) • Multi Domain (ACI, SDWAN, SDA)

Strength: Challenge:
• Best in class hardware • Propertary OMP to control traffic between vsmart and vedge
• Cisco’s SD-WAN, powered by Viptela on the IOS XE platform, has stability and scaling issues
• Transport Independent (LTE, MPLS, Broadband). Reduce WAN cost , by • Cisco Licensing Structure complex
migrating MPLS to hybrid wanCloud security – multi-layer, • Cisco has many products to manage for SD-WAN using
comprehensive protection • ISR, vEdge, Viptela, DNA Licensed. Cisco prefered the C-Edge over V-Edge. Changing licensed
(Essential, Advantage and Premiere) to DNA licensed
• Superior Security architecture cloud based or on prem (TPM,
• Cant support 3rd party VNF for NFGW (Palo, Forti etc), must used service chaining method . adding more
DTLS/TLS, OMP, IPSEC). Using Thalos Cloud security and Embeded

VeloCloud Edge 5X0, VeloCloud Edge 540, VeloCloud Edge 840 • Distirbuted Velocloud gateways • Cloud driven SD-WAN

VeloCloud Edge 1000 • Cloud based Velocloud Orchestrator

Strength: Challenge:
• Transport Independent (LTE, MPLS, Broadband). Reduce WAN cost , by • Limited topology or network environment deployment scenario
migrating MPLS to hybrid wanCloud security – multi-layer, • Limited Hardware scale and L3 Feature. (Ipsec tunnel + basic routing option for ospf bgp and static).
comprehensive protection Supports upto 8k sites and in-cloud gateway supports merely 100
• The VMware product lacks native advanced security functionality; instead, it relies on partner
• Simplified WAN Management, zero touch branch deployments to firewalls instantiated on its platform or cloud security services
ongoing configuration • Uses proprietary protocol, DMPO, to optimize and steer traffic
• Troubleshooting tools are limited to whatever is offered in the UI with basic capabilities. Cannot used CLI
• Assure the performance of critical applications, over any transport,
including Interne. Using DMPO dynamic multipath optimazation protocol.
optimal performance for demanding applications, such as voice and
video
• Leverages packet forwarding FEC and packet duplication
• Hub-less, eliminate service provider edge deployment
• Good Partnership with ISP. Invest many Velocloud gateway in many
MSP, provide an optimized direct path to public and private
