Infinxt-SDWAN のアプリ分析 5月15日

The InfiNxt SD-WAN solution is a robust enterprise-grade overlay architecture that facilitates digital and cloud transformation within enterprises. This comprehensive solution seamlessly integrates routing, security, centralized policy management, and orchestration across large-scale networks. It effectively tackles the typical challenges and issues encountered in traditional WAN deployments. The InfiNxt SD-WAN solution consists of distinct components: Configuration Orchestrator: This component oversees device configurations, facilitates initial activation, and manages device authentication. It communicates with the device/CPE through a control plane tunnel dedicated to management and configuration traffic. The Orchestrator handles the entire configuration lifecycle for the CPE and plays a crucial role in Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and Zero Touch Deployment (ZTD) processes. Authentication Engine: This component handles authentication within the SD-WAN solution, serving two key functions. Firstly, it supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), authenticating CPE devices with the ZTP server using methods such as PKI or device serial number whitelisting. Secondly, it forms the foundation for the controller's logical separation and multi-tenancy by verifying identities through authentication and granting necessary permissions via authorization mechanisms.
