VPN-Cubed Cloud Only - customer controlled security for the cloud

VPN-Cubed Cloud Only (formerly VPN-Cubed SSL) provides an overlay network that allows YOU control of addressing, topology, protocols, and encrypted communications for YOUR devices deployed to the public cloud.  Cloud providers have state-of-the-art facilities, experienced staff, and fantastic equipment.  The problem: these cloud providers are still 3rd parties, and moving corporate assets to the cloud means 3rd party control.  Enterprise checks and balances require you to exhibit control over your computing infrastructure.  VPN-Cubed Cloud Only gives you flexibility with control in public cloud environments.  Remember this is just one of many use-cases for our VPN-Cubed offering.  We currently offer self-service Editions for use in Amazon EC2, GoGrid, Terremark, and the newest cloud added - Flexiant's Flexiscle, launch instructions are below.  Take a look at our VPN-Cubed page for more uses or contact our sales department for more information.

Your VPN-Cubed overlay network provides 4 key capabilities the cloud does 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,
  • and lastly encrypted communications between all your devices.
This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/)
