Organizations are increasingly transitioning business critical applications from on-premises data centers to the public cloud and SaaS environments. While compute, storage and applications have comprehensively evolved beyond virtualization and automation to simple as-a-service offerings, the network and security have not. Modern enterprises fully realize the critical necessity to bring network and security infrastructure into the as-a-service model and allow IT organizations to empower the digital transformation moving at the speed of rapidly evolving business needs.
Building a secure, scalable and resilient network infrastructure that connects together remote users, on-premises locations, and AWS VPCs is many times a daunting and frustrating experience. Inserting next generation firewalls to enforce organizational security policy for applications adds even further complexity.
Alkira slashes time to service with Network Infrastructure On-Demand approach. The entire network infrastructure connecting remote users, on-premises sites and AWS VPCs is drawn on an intuitive design canvas, provisioned in a single click and is ready for use in minutes instead of months.
Easily enforce uniform firewall zone-based security policy for AWS single or multi-region application traffic. Alkira’s solution takes care of automated firewall provisioning, health monitoring, scale and symmetric traffic steering.
Segmentation and micro-segmentation allow segregating AWS VPCs and reducing security attack surface. Communication between segments for shared application services can be selectively allowed with or without firewall security policy enforcement.
The Alkira portal offers deep operational visibility into network infrastructure health, availability, utilization and application traffic flows for the AWS environment. Enterprises can achieve operational excellence without the need to procure and deploy additional management software tools.
Alkira unified backbone connects single region and multi-region AWS environments with multi-ten gigabit speeds leveraging AWS high speed low latency backbone. Alkira’s highly available global virtual infrastructure is backed by SLA guarantees.
