How SD-WAN changed the branch
SD-WAN lets branches use broadband and mobile links, encrypting traffic in tunnels to a hub. It lowers WAN costs and simplifies management.
The hub question
Where the tunnels terminate matters. If every branch in India tunnels to a single hub in one city, branches far from that city pay a latency penalty on every connection.
Virtual hubs at the edge
With Peer1ix Virtual Edge, you can run SD-WAN gateway instances in several regional edge locations. Each branch connects to its nearest hub over a short internet path.
From hub to everything else
The virtual hub sits on the Peer1IX fabric. From there, traffic reaches clouds via private on-ramps, data centers via private links and other regions via the fabric.
Operational simplicity
Hubs are deployed as software, so adding a new region is quick and does not require shipping hardware.
