In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, businesses are choosing to build their networks alongside various networking and network security vendors on Google Cloud – and it’s not hard to see why. Google cloud has not only partnered with the best of breed service vendors – it has built an ecosystem that allows its customers to plug in and readily use these services
Cloud WAN: Global connectivity with best in class ISV ecosystem.
This year, we launched Cloud WAN, a key use case of Cross-Cloud Network, that provides a fully managed global WAN solution built on Google’s Premium Tier – planet-scale infrastructure, which spans over 200 countries and 2 million miles of subsea and terrestrial cables — a robust foundation for global connectivity. Cloud WAN provides up to a 40% TCO savings over a customer-managed global WAN leveraging colocation facilities1, while Cross-Cloud Network provides up to 40% improved performance compared to the public internet2.
The ISV Ecosystem advantage
Beyond global connectivity, Cloud WAN also offers customers a robust and adaptable ecosystem that includes market-leading SD-WAN partners, managed SSE vendors integrated via NCC Gateway, DDI solutions from Infoblox and network automation and intelligence solutions from Juniper Mist.These partners are integrated into the networking fabric using Cloud WAN architecture components such as network connectivity center for centralised hub architecture, Cloud VPN and Cloud Interconnect for high bandwidth connectivity to campus and data center networks. You can learn more about our Cloud WAN partners here.
In this post, we explore Google Cloud’s enhanced networking capabilities like multi-tenant, high-scale network address translation (NAT) and zonal affinity that allow ISVs to integrate their offerings natively with the networking fabric – giving Google Cloud customers a plug-and-play solution for cloud network deployments.
