ZPE Systems’ Nodegrid Virtual Services
Router (VSR) and Out-of-Band
Infrastructure WAN (OOBI-WAN)
Summary
Most enterprises operate a hybrid- or multi-cloud environment, which adds significant overhead, complexity, and
architectural challenges. This turns networking and security into an operational battleground, where teams are ill-equipped to
win against inefficient operations and outages.
The Nodegrid Virtual Services Router (VSR) solves this as part of an out-of-band infrastructure WAN (OOBI-WAN). The VSR
bridges the gap between physical and virtual solutions, creating a dedicated and unified OOBI-WAN plane through which to
manage diverse on-prem and cloud infrastructure. This allows enterprises to accelerate go-to-market deployments, reduce
overhead & costs, and fortify IT against outages.
Problem - Disjointed operations bog down business
Approximately 80% of enterprises operate a hybrid- or multi-cloud environment. This trend is expected to grow as workloads
move from data centers to different cloud and colo/edge locations. The reasons for these deployments can be complex, but
key benefits include vendor lock-in avoidance, and greater choice for developers to develop and run solutions in
environments best suited to their organization’s needs. In short, enterprises gain more control over the offerings they consume
and where they host their data.
However, multi- and hybrid-cloud environments pose a huge challenge to operations and security; each has unique
requirements, security policies, and other attributes. Network and security specialists must use non-standard tools to operate
these complex environments, which leads to slow deployments, inflated operating costs, and prolonged MTTR and outages.
Gap - Complex ops back admins into a corner
IT administrators must use multiple systems and tools to manage
their complex environments. These tools often include:
• Automation and orchestration solutions
• Jump boxes
• Dedicated backup connections, like 4G/5G WAN
• File storage
• and many more
Typically, setting up secure admin access to these systems requires deploying one or multiple VPN connections to each
site. The interconnection of these environments to provide cross-environmental services for automation, orchestration
tools, and other systems adds layers of complexity, as VPN, security, monitoring, and routing options differ from solution to
solution and environment to environment.
