Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN Edge 7x0 Series Specifications

Introduction

The Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN Edge 7x0 Series, a fundamental component of VeloCloud SASE, offers converged cloud networking and security services designed to provide flexibility, agility, and scale for enterprises. Built on software-defined networking principles, it addresses end-to-end automation, application continuity, branch transformation, and security from the edge to the data center and the cloud.

VeloCloud SD-WAN provides enhanced availability and quality-of-service for modern applications, ensuring security and ubiquitous access for a distributed workforce. The solution is ideal for enterprises embracing cloud, GenAI, and application transformation, offering high application performance and availability while reducing networking costs. It features dynamic remediation over multiple WAN links for a superior user experience. Enhanced Firewall Service is integrated into VeloCloud SD-WAN Edges, providing comprehensive security and eliminating the need for separate firewalls at branch locations.

VeloCloud SD-WAN Components

The VeloCloud SD-WAN solution comprises three main components:

VeloCloud SD-WAN Edge

The VeloCloud SD-WAN Edge is an enterprise-class appliance that provides secure and optimized connectivity to applications, both on and off the cloud. It supports zero-touch provisioning for ease of deployment. The Edge is available in various form factors, including hardware appliances (most common at branch sites), software (VMs), and Virtual Network Functions (VNFs).

The Edge aggregates multiple links and utilizes Dynamic Multipath Optimization™ (DMPO) and deep application recognition (DAR) to steer traffic over the most optimal links. It supports high availability (HA) deployment models and integrates seamlessly into existing networks. The Enhanced Firewall Service offers advanced security features like IDS/IPS, URL filtering, and malicious IP filtering, acting as a barrier between the private network and the public internet.

VeloCloud SD-WAN Gateways

Gateways optimize data paths to all applications, branches, and data centers, enabling network services to and from the cloud. Arista's distributed, global network of gateways, hosted by Arista or service providers, offers scalability, redundancy, and on-demand flexibility. Gateways implement DMPO, cloud VPN, and VeloCloud SD-WAN Multisource Inbound Quality of Service, allowing broadband and private leased lines to function as a single, high-performance WAN connection.

VeloCloud Orchestrator

The Orchestrator is a cloud-hosted (or on-premises) central management tool for VeloCloud SD-WAN. Its web-based user interface (UI) facilitates simplified configuration, provisioning, monitoring, fault management, logging, and reporting. Orchestrator enables the implementation of business-based policies for application delivery and traffic management.

Enhanced Firewall Service Security service insertion capabilities include simplified service insertion of third-party NGFW running locally on Edge VNF, and simplified cloud-based NGFW, AV, IPS/IDS, threat-detection service insertion. Protects users and infrastructure accessing SaaS and Internet apps from threats, at the same time providing visibility and control with VeloCloud SASE, secured by Symantec. Advanced firewall features including Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDS/IPS), URL Filtering, Malicious IP Filtering, and security monitoring.
Hosted firewall logging A hosted logging infrastructure on the cloud is provided to customers to capture and store firewall logs received from Edges.
