NetFoundry announced its NetFoundry AppWANs is available as an integrated on-ramp to Microsoft Azure.
The NetFoundry AppWAN solution makes it simple, secure and cost-effective to connect to Azure, enabling businesses to connect with an all-software solution in minutes. NetFoundry is available to pilot customers today, starting as a free trial. Azure Virtual WAN functions as a managed site-to-site and site-to-VNET networking solution.
NetFoundry has worked with Microsoft to ensure simple, integrated provisioning between Azure Virtual WAN and NetFoundry AppWANs. As a result, AppWANs provides enterprise-grade security, improves performance and simplifies network management.
Combined, the NetFoundry AppWAN and Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN provides customers with an on-demand solution capable of functioning as a global WAN with optimized Azure connectivity. Businesses run NetFoundry AppWAN endpoints directly on user devices, in branch offices and in private data centers. The endpoints then connect as a global overlay network, using existing Internet connections.
“The Azure Virtual WAN service provides optimized branch and VNET networking. NetFoundry enables customers to realize the Azure Virtual WAN benefits, automating the on-premises connectivity to Azure with secure, software-only NetFoundry AppWANs,” said Mike Kochanik, VP of Alliances, for NetFoundry.
