Remote Network Formation Solutions

Remote Network Formation Solutions.Based on SD-WAN

Solution Introduction

The advent of cloud computing has led to a significant increase in the number of network applications. The traditional wide area Internet can hardly support the surge in traffic, and SD-WAN has become an inevitable choice for dealing with the cloudification of business. Based on SD-WAN, we have launched the Yunzhan remote network formation solution. It adopts an intelligent routing selection scheme, enabling branch devices to be plugged in and used immediately for a quick start-up. Through features such as centralized and visual operation and maintenance, it builds a secure and reliable full-scenario interconnection for access points like branches, headquarters, and clouds of large, medium, and small enterprises. It is applicable to scenarios such as enterprise branch interconnection, retail chains, remote video monitoring, and industrial interconnection.

Requirement Analysis

It is difficult to achieve the interconnection among multiple clouds and multiple branches.

With the development of digitalization and economic globalization, enterprises’ businesses are migrating to the cloud, and enterprise WANs need to exchange data with public clouds and private clouds. Traditional wide area networks are unable to meet the requirements of multi-cloud interconnection.

It’s hard to guarantee the experience of business access.

The growth of high-traffic applications has led to a sharp increase in line traffic. Enterprises have rather poor perception of business traffic, are unable to safeguard key businesses, and cannot adjust business traffic according to the real-time status of lines, resulting in a poor business access experience.

The difficulty of network deployment and operation & maintenance is high

There are numerous and scattered branch offices, and the equipment at these sites cannot be uniformly managed, which leads to excessively high operation & maintenance costs. Moreover, due to the unclear running status of the lines, it is difficult for IT personnel to obtain information, and it is also difficult to troubleshoot problems in branch networks, thus making network operation & maintenance rather challenging.

It is difficult to ensure network security protection.

Enterprises rent dedicated lines to transmit data, which incurs high bandwidth costs. Meanwhile, using Internet exits makes them vulnerable to security threats. Branch offices have weak security protection capabilities and are prone to cyber attacks.

Advantages of the solution

Hybrid Link Access

Businesses can quickly migrate to the cloud. Enterprises can choose the hybrid access mode of private network (MPLS), public network (Internet), and 4G/5G networks as needed, which can reduce network costs while ensuring data security.
Branches can directly connect to public clouds without going through the headquarters or data center when migrating to the cloud. They can also directly jump business traffic to private clouds by establishing tunnels, thus improving the cloud migration experience of branches.

Flexible networking on demand and interconnection of businesses as needed.

At the Underlay and Overlay layers, multiple forms of networking architectures are provided for access points such as the headquarters, branches, and clouds of large, medium, and small enterprises to meet diverse interconnection requirements such as remote network formation, remote working, and distributed security, and to improve the efficiency of network usage.

Apply intelligent routing selection to guarantee key businesses

Based on the intelligent routing selection relying on link quality, through comprehensive detection of multi-dimensional information such as all website points and links, the optimal path for transmission is selected intelligently. In case of line failures, automatic switching will be carried out to realize an intelligent and dynamic routing selection scheme. It provides higher business agility and responsiveness, optimizes the business access experience, and ensures the smooth access of key businesses.

Zero-touch Provisioning

Devices are plug-and-play, enabling rapid business deployment. Site devices support zero-touch deployment and going online. They are plug-and-play, allowing for quick business rollout. Business can be activated at branch sites within minutes.
Centralized control and deployment in the cloud with simple configuration can greatly simplify the onboarding process of branch devices and easily achieve wide area interconnection.

Visualized operation and maintenance, with a clear view of network status.

The network operation and maintenance of branch offices is visualized. The network topology, site health, link status and device status are all visible. Users can log in to the TP-LINK commercial cloud platform to conduct visualized management of all SD-WAN devices and VPN links across the network.
