CloudGenix, based in Santa Clara, California, began shipping its SD-WAN solution in May 2015. As of September 2015, CloudGenix has over 25 enterprises that are piloting its SD-WAN solution. With over 70 employees, many from Cisco and other traditional WAN suppliers, CloudGenix is an emerging player in the SD-WAN market.
CloudGenix offers its branch ION 3000, which scales to approximately 500 Mbps of encrypted traffic and supports a number of 1GbE copper ports and optional LTE interfaces. The platform is designed for in-path deployments and comes bundled with in-line fail to wire modules. The data center ION 7000 scales to approximately 5 Gbps of encrypted throughput, is designed for off-path deployments, and has many 1GbE or 10GbE ports.
CloudGenix's solution supports active-active hybrid WANs, and enables the WAN to be "programmed" via APIs in the CloudGenix controller. CloudGenix provides automatic discovery and configuration of endpoints, as well as secure key management. Another strength is in application performance metric-based controls. The system measures application performance for each individual cloud, enterprise and media application directly (app transaction time, mean opinion score and codec) on each path, and uses these application performance stats for path selection and other control decisions, at application-level granularity.
Enterprises that have sophisticated application control requirements, such as a combination of cloud, SaaS and data center applications, should consider this vendor for SD-WAN, while ensuring channel partners' geographical capabilities and experience.
