LOS ANGELES, CA – July 9, 2020 – AireSpring, a leading Managed Services Provider (MSP) specializing in Unified Communications, Managed Network, and IT Services, has announced the availability of the exciting new 600 series of VMware® SD-WAN by VeloCloud™ Edge devices. AireSpring is pleased to be one of the first MSP’s to beta test the software required to support the new 600 series models, providing its channel partners and customers with a true “edge,” as they work to gain an advantage in the challenging business environment of digital transformation.
To facilitate the rollout of the 600 series, AireSpring worked closely with the VeloCloud engineering team to configure, test and deploy the new software in its core network prior to its general release to the marketplace. AireSpring was one of the first partners to upgrade all its VeloCloud Gateways (VCGs) worldwide to support this latest software release. AireSpring Global Managed SD-WAN includes industry-leading VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud technology, our carrier-grade Global Private Network (GPN) with globally distributed PoPs, and last mile circuit procurement, all monitored and supported 24/7/365, through our global NOCs.
The new SD-WAN Edge 600 series devices combine a purpose-built networking appliance from Dell with the VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud software for an all-in-one solution that provides complete WAN modernization. Additionally, the Edge 600 series also includes centralized orchestration and global gateways with Dynamic Multi-Path Optimization (DMPO) which has been demonstrated to deliver up to a 75% reduction in costs over traditional MPLS-backed WAN designs, and increase performance for state-of-the-art applications.
Some additional benefits to the new 600 Series Edge devices are:
- New faster Intel processors.
- A 128GB SSD hard drive on most models that can support loading a Virtualized Network Function (VNF) to add services such as a next generation firewall (NGFW).
- Support for more and higher tunnel speeds than the previous devices
- Support for twice the number of VPN tunnels than previous models
- Configurable LAN/WAN ports providing more flexibility
- Twice the system flash memory than previous models
