VMware SD-WAN Gateways

VMware SD-WAN Gateways optimize data paths to all applications, branches, and data centers along with the ability to deliver
network services to and from the cloud. A distributed network of gateways, deployed around the world or on-premises at
service providers, provide scalability, redundancy, and on-demand flexibility.

VMware SD-WAN Gateways implement VMware DMPO, cloud VPN, and VMware SD-WAN Multisource Inbound Quality of
Service between global cloud services (SaaS, IaaS, network services) and each VMware SD-WAN Edge, enabling multiple
broadband and private leased lines to appear as a single, high-performance WAN.

VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator

A cloud-hosted or on-premises secure and scalable web-based central management tool provides simplified configuration,
provisioning, monitoring, fault management, logging, and reporting. The VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator enables the simple
implementation of business-based policies for application delivery, simplifying application traffic management.

VMware Edge Network Intelligence

VMware Edge Network Intelligence™ is a vendor-agnostic artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) solution focused on
the enterprise edge that ensures end user and internet of things (IoT) client performance, security, and self-healing through
wired and wireless LAN, SD-WAN and SASE.

The solution employs machine learning algorithms and modern big data analytics to process high volumes of data from a wide
range of network, device, and application sources. In doing so, VMware Edge Network Intelligence auto-discovers end user
and IoT devices, automatically establishes baselines, understands every single client interaction, and monitors for deviations to
provide actionable insights that operations teams can proactively remediate.

See the VMware Edge Network Intelligence datasheet for more information.

• For the Edge 500, 510/510N, 520, and 610/610C/610N, maximum throughput is obtainable with analytics enabled.

• For all other models, there is a performance impact of up to 20% with analytics enabled. This impact will be reduced
in the subsequent releases.

• Flow capacity is reduced by up to half with analytics enabled due to the additional processing and memory required
for analysis. This impact will be reduced in the subsequent releases.
