MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- VeloCloud Networks Inc., a cloud networking services company, today announced interoperability with leading cloud security platforms Zscaler and Websense, spurring growth of its SD-WAN ecosystem. VeloCloud also has expanded its business policy framework, enabling enterprises for the first time to deploy cloud network services and applications easily and with assured enterprise-grade performance.

By removing the complexity of deploying virtual services in wide area networks (WANs), VeloCloud enables enterprise branch offices to achieve the same security services as corporate headquarters—without having to install multiple, separate appliances in each branch or backhaul traffic over expensive private links to their data centers. Inserting and configuring the most sophisticated cloud-based network services is simple and secure.

VeloCloud’s expanded business policy framework provides software-defined WAN flexibility, simplicity and automation both on premises and in the cloud. It adds explicit link-usage policies for business and security compliance that augment VeloCloud’s existing automatic multipath optimization, which dynamically steers traffic to achieve enterprise-grade application performance. The business policy framework is transport-independent and will also apply to private lines such as T1/MPLS as they are integrated into VeloCloud’s management and optimization of hybrid WANs.

VeloCloud’s extensible business policy framework for network services insertion will cover additional services from ecosystem partners. These services might include WAN optimization, application performance monitoring, application firewalling, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and intrusion protection systems (IPS).
