Enterprise ICT environments are embracing mobile, cloud and IoT
technologies to drive business agility and transformation. This
evolution requires always-on connectivity over the public Internet for
distributed people, places and things, but with the visibility, security
and control of a private network. OneLayer is a cloud-based overlay
service that runs on the Cradlepoint NetCloud platform and utilizes its
SDN/NFV technology. Unlike traditional site-to-site network solutions,
OneLayer enables secure connectivity to corporate computing resources and public cloud applications from anywhere and any device with
end-to-end policy control.
By installing client software on each device, OneLayer provides remote
users with secure WAN connectivity over the Internet and a seamless
office LAN experience. With OneLayer, a customer can build a secure
overlay network in minutes without the complicated site-by-site
configuration of traditional networks-dramatically reducing WAN cost and
complexity. All policy control is simple to setup through a cloud-based
administration console, and can be applied on a user, device and
application basis. Additionally, OneLayer works over any network
operator's infrastructure, so it can be deployed globally-making it
ideal for large-scale M2M/IoT deployments. If a customer is already
using a private network service like IP-VPN, SoftBank can deliver
OneLayer in a hybrid solution with policy mapping that ensures flexible
and scalable ICT environments.
"We share a history of innovation and leadership in our respective
markets, so SoftBank is the ideal partner to collaborate with to bring
the benefits of SDN/NFV technology to customers as a carrier service,"
said George Mulhern, Chief Executive Officer of Cradlepoint.
