Securely Extend Network Virtualization over the WAN
Business is more distributed than ever and enterprises are looking for easy ways to secure and scale applications across many locations. Virtualization can help reduce data center costs while increasing business continuity, but as we look beyond the data center for virtualization, connecting over the WAN to geographically dispersed locations or server clusters presents challenges in simplicity, scalability, and security.
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series IP Security (IPsec) VPN aggregation and Layer 2 Data Center Interconnect solutions solve the problem of providing simple, scalable, and secure virtualization deployment over the WAN.
