VPN-Cubed Datacenter Connect - Customer Controlled IPsec to Cloud Connectivity Solution

VPN-Cubed Datacenter Connect is a version of the VPN-Cubed overlay network packaged to work between a data center using IPsec “extranet” connectivity and Amazon EC2, GoGrid, Terremark, and Flexiant's Flexiscale.  Your IPsec device connects to an IPsec gateway in the cloud running as a virtual appliance which routes to your VPN-Cubed subnet in the cloud. 

VPN-Cubed Managers are hybrid devices; they are virtual routers, virtual switches, SSL VPN concentrators, IPSecVPN concentrators, and protocol re-distributors, configurable in a mesh to create an Overlay Network.  An overlay network that you completely control.  Other cloud resident virtual machine instances “plug into” the overlay network through the use of the OpenVPN software package.

VPN-Cubed Datacenter Connect supports most IPsec data center extranet solutions like: Cisco ASA, Cisco Pix, and Juniper Netscreen.  Not sure if your device will work with VPN-Cubed?  Check out our Free Editions available on Amazon EC2, GoGrid, Terremark, and Flexiant's Flexiscale today!

VPN-Cubed provides an overlay network that allows YOU control of addressing, topology, protocols, and encrypted communications for YOUR devices deployed to virtual infrastructure or cloud computing centers.  When using public clouds your corporate assets are going into 3rd party controlled infrastructure.  Enterprise checks and balances require you to exhibit control over your computing infrastructure.  VPN-Cubed gives you flexibility with control in 3rd party environments.

Remember Your VPN-Cubed overlay network provides 5 key capabilities public clouds do not currently allow you to control:
  • static addressing for your cloud devices,
  • topology control by using VPN-Cubed managers as virtual switches, virtual bridges or virtual routers,
  • use of popular enterprise protocols like UDP Multicast for service discovery,
  • encrypted communications between all your devices in the cloud.
  • and lastly encrypted communications to cloud using your existing extranet infrastructure.
This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/).
