Multi-cloud and multi-vendor testing covered routing large numbers of UDP packets per second while also delivering high bandwidth with TCP packets Organizations reaping the benefits of multi-cloud deployments can streamline even further by virtualizing networking between cloud deployments to place infrastructure closer to end-users and ensure top application performance. Network Edge provides virtual network services to help organizations unite infrastructure across multiple cloud vendors without traditional hardware-based networking as they add or acquire cloud instances. We set up VMs on two different cloud platforms—Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure—and used Network Edge to privately integrate virtual network services across both platforms. From numerous possible use cases, we selected three example virtual devices to complete three sets of tests: Cisco CSR 1000v with the AX software package, Versa FlexVNF, and Fortinet FortiGate VM Series. We found that Network Edge would be able to support up to 2,591 voice over IP (VoIP) sessions (based on routing up to 129K packets per second (PPS) in UDP tests with sub-0.005% packet loss) and provided strong throughput in TCP tests. Plus, we were able to deploy both Network Edge and order the high-speed private connections to the public clouds in only a few clicks, which improves time to value. These results show that Network Edge can provide virtual networking service in several use cases for organizations looking to offload network services and simplify their cloud infrastructure.
