Why VXLANaaS?

Why VXLANaaS?


🔒 1. Tenant Isolation & Security

  • Each customer gets their own VRF / VNI, ensuring complete traffic separation.

  • No overlap of VLANs/IPs between customers.

  • Built-in segmentation across multiple data centers.

🌐 2. Multi-DC Fabric Extension

  • Customers can extend their network across multiple DCs without building their own VXLAN/EVPN.

  • Workloads and applications can move freely between DCs while keeping the same IP addressing.

⚡ 3. Elasticity & On-Demand Provisioning

  • Provider can spin up new tenant VRFs or expand into new DCs without re-architecting.

  • Faster onboarding of customers compared to traditional MPLS or dedicated circuits.

💰 4. Cost Efficiency

  • Customers avoid the complexity and cost of designing/running a VXLAN fabric.

  • Provider amortizes fabric infrastructure across multiple tenants.

  • Reduces need for expensive WAN/MPLS services for DC-to-DC connectivity.

🔧 5. Simplified Operations

  • Customers only consume the service (e.g., VRF handoff), not manage the underlay or EVPN.

  • Centralized provider operations handle upgrades, scaling, and troubleshooting.

📈 6. Scalability

  • VXLAN/EVPN supports 16 million VNIs (vs. 4K VLANs in traditional Ethernet).

  • Customers can scale beyond VLAN limits for modern multi-tenant needs.

☁️ 7. Hybrid & Cloud-Ready

  • Easy to integrate with public cloud on-ramps or SaaS providers.

  • Can extend VXLANaaS to hybrid/multi-cloud scenarios.

🕒 8. Business Agility

  • Customers can quickly add sites, connect workloads, or expand into new regions.

  • Reduces provisioning time from weeks/months → hours/minutes.
