Why VXLANaaS?
Why VXLANaaS?
๐ 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.
๐ 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.
โก 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.
๐ฐ 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.
๐ง 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.
๐ 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.
โ๏ธ 7. Hybrid & Cloud-Ready
Easy to integrate with public cloud on-ramps or SaaS providers.
Can extend VXLANaaS to hybrid/multi-cloud scenarios.
๐ 8. Business Agility
Customers can quickly add sites, connect workloads, or expand into new regions.
Reduces provisioning time from weeks/months โ hours/minutes.
