INSPIRATION
In today’s increasingly digital environment, business applications require high-performing and extensive networking operations. Particularly for cloud computing, it is essential for businesses to deploy, manage, and support connectivity across a variety of environments. Typically, complex tools are required to build and manage modern software-defined networking technology. Some vendors only provide solutions
that work on their equipment, which then limits the extent of communications capabilities. . Startups develop SDN to improve network performance, monitor its performance, and enable centralized control.
UK-based startup EdgeNEXUS develops network load-balancing solutions for SDNs. edgeNEXUS optimizes routing changes based on a number of factors including load volume and application performance, thus adding a layer of intelligence between applications, networks, and SDN controllers.
The startup’s Global Server Load Balancer (GSLB) provides tools for multi-datacenter, multi-cloud, and hybrid cloud load balancing and failover. GLSB is suitable for enterprises looking to control their application delivery service depending on user or region.
Ethica is a Canadian startup providing CloudAccess, an easy-to-deploy and inexpensive Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SDWAN) solution focusing on SMEs. The solution reduces the downtime of the network by aggregating multiple internet connections and using them when they are available.
Also, CloudAccess provides Quality of Service (QoS) by prioritizing more important types of traffic which is useful, for example, in distributed teams using video calls. Further, all the solution’s features are manageable through a cloud-hosted orchestration utility.
