CloudGenix provides a software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) solution that can deliver 10x or more bandwidth at 50% or greater cost savings compared to traditional MPLS networks. The solution replaces proprietary hardware routers with software that runs on commercial off-the-shelf equipment and defines the network by applications rather than IP addresses. This allows customers to build secure, application-specific networks with simplified operations and visibility into application performance.
