Enterprise ICT environments are embracing mobile, cloud and IoT technologies to drive business agility and transformation. This evolution requires always-on connectivity over the public Internet for distributed people, places and things, but with the visibility, security and control of a private network. OneLayer is a cloud-based overlay service that runs on the Cradlepoint NetCloud platform and utilizes its SDN/NFV technology. Unlike traditional site-to-site network solutions, OneLayer enables secure connectivity to corporate computing resources and public cloud applications from anywhere and any device with end-to-end policy control.
By installing client software on each device, OneLayer provides remote users with secure WAN connectivity over the Internet and a seamless office LAN experience. With OneLayer, a customer can build a secure overlay network in minutes without the complicated site-by-site configuration of traditional networks—dramatically reducing WAN cost and complexity. All policy control is simple to setup through a cloud-based administration console, and can be applied on a user, device and application basis. Additionally, OneLayer works over any network operator’s infrastructure, so it can be deployed globally—making it ideal for large-scale M2M/IoT deployments. If a customer is already using a private network service like IP-VPN, SoftBank can deliver OneLayer in a hybrid solution with policy mapping that ensures flexible and scalable ICT environments.
“We share a history of innovation and leadership in our respective markets, so SoftBank is the ideal partner to collaborate with to bring the benefits of SDN/NFV technology to customers as a carrier service,” said George Mulhern, Chief Executive Officer of Cradlepoint.
