Full bio
Many Aruba customers leverage AWS cloud for their digital transformations. As customer IT organizations work to connect people, applications, and IoT from edge to cloud, they strive to provide the best possible end-user experience. This can be challenging given the complexity of managing security, scale, and segmentation across hybrid environments. Together, Aruba and AWS are working to simplify this complexity by leveraging the benefits of the Aruba intelligent edge and the AWS global backbone network.
Aruba SD-WAN integration with AWS Cloud WAN
Today, Aruba announces our SD-WAN integration with Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) newest solution: AWS Cloud WAN. This solution combines AWS’ secure, high performance global network backbone with Aruba’s best-in-class SD-WAN and LAN capabilities to enable our joint customers to reduce costs, improve security, and simplify connectivity between branch edge offices and AWS cloud-based resources.
Long-term Relationship
Aruba and AWS have collaborated on foundational cloud-first networking building blocks for the past four years. Starting in 2017, we automated SD-WAN appliances/gateways deployed within AWS Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) via the AWS Marketplace. In 2019, we introduced our integration with AWS Transit Gateway Network Manager. And then, in 2020, we innovated seamless and high-performance connectivity with Transit Gateway Connect. These highly automated cloud integrations along with Aruba’s industry leading role-based dynamic segmentation capabilities, provide the perfect complement to the AWS Cloud WAN service.
The benefits of enterprise organizations adopting Aruba SD-WAN with AWS Cloud WAN include:
消除复杂性的一单击自动化
This integrated solution automates network deployments and removes the complexity of manual, time-consuming, step-by-step configuration and connectivity of individual branch offices to local AWS Points of Presence (PoPs). Enterprise customers can use the Aruba solution to automate the process of connecting branch offices to the AWS cloud in minutes, including one-click automation of any Aruba EdgeConnect instances that must be deployed within customer VPC’s to support a given use case. The end results of this integration are:
- Increased application performance
- 增强了IT操作效率，用于配置基于AWS的工作负载和
- Faster time-to-market without compromising edge to cloud security
Consistent Edge-to-cloud security
Aruba SD-WAN enables organizations to provide consistent network segmentation from the edge, where users and devices join the network, across the WAN all the way through to AWS VPCs. For example, an IT admin may need to control access to three types of resources locally and globally: Employee, Point of Sale (PoS), and Human Resources (HR). Aruba enables IT to define a shared network segmentation policy map to control access to VPCs within the AWS cloud, regionally and globally. This ensures that PoS devices only interact with the PoS VPCs and not with the HR VPCs and vice versa.
Business-class SD-WAN
TheAruba SD-Wan投资组合是在边缘进行WAN和安全转型的组织的答案，以应对云领先的数字转型策略的挑战。企业可以构建跨越校园，分支，WAN和远程工作者解决方案的灵活且安全的边缘网络基础结构，以及具有零信任和SASE框架的AWS云。Aruba SD-WAN解决方案满足了当今的IT，用户，物联网，基础架构和业务需求，并以简单，速度和成本节省从WAN到连接到云服务。
Flexibility when connecting to the AWS Cloud
Aruba SD-WAN platforms provide a wide range of connectivity options for organizations extending the SD-WAN (and the LAN) to AWS Cloud. The following connection types are supported, enabling organizations to move at their own pace:
- 与此博客中描述的AWS Cloud WAN的无缝连通性
- Bookended SD-WAN virtual appliances downloaded and installed from the AWS Marketplace
- Seamless SD-WAN connectivity to AWS Transit Gateway
