NetFoundry enables businesses to effectively manage workloads across the entire Azure ecosystem without bespoke connectivity solutions through integrations with Azure, Azure Stack, Azure IoT, and Azure Virtual WAN.

The NetFoundry platform is a software-only connectivity solution that enables our customers and partners to instantly spin up secure, performant, application-specific, Zero Trust networks called AppWANs to connect public, private, and hybrid cloud environments with Internet reach and scale.

AppWANs are created and managed using developer-friendly, web-based orchestration tools and APIs tailored to fit within application development and operation life cycles. Within AppWANs, endpoints route each session across the NetFoundry network fabric, a secure, global Internet overlay orchestrated by a cloud-native, instance-specific network controller. The NetFoundry platform seamlessly integrates with business and application systems such as IAM, IoT identity, and cloud policies, while securing traffic across multiple layers and adaptively optimizing performance and throughput.

With NetFoundry, there is no need for complex routing and configuration or hardware. NetFoundry’s platform brings flexibility and agility to networking, with the ability to make changes on-the-fly, establish policies driven by identity, context, and application need, as well as easily interconnect many virtual networks within the Azure ecosystem and between cloud providers.

NetFoundry Hybrid Cloud Topology Connecting Azure & Azure Stack

The components within NetFoundry’s orchestration console were designed to make building and augmenting Zero Trust AppWANs to and across Azure easy and seamless through automation, integration, and abstraction. With NetFoundry, evolving from a capacity model to a consumption model is simple and straightforward, since Azure Stack can be seamlessly connected to Azure and Azure Virtual WAN instantaneously and at scale without hardware.

Unlike VPNs, AppWANs are not constrained by limits on throughput and automatically adapt to network conditions and route traffic via the most optimal path over the Internet. Furthermore, NetFoundry is cloud-native, eliminating the need for hardware, or backhaul of VPN tunnels to a data center or concentrator. The application specificity of AppWANs make Zero Trust software defined perimeters simple, extending the security of the WAN to endpoints, regardless of location or connection type. Plus, AppWANs are inherently multipoint-to-multipoint, driven by application access, context, and identity, which makes managing AppWANs to and from Azure Stack far simpler than managing traditional VPN connections.

Azure Stack brings ubiquity to the private data center, NetFoundry brings it to the network.

Organizations opt to retain services on premises or in private data centers for a myriad of reasons - from avoiding the hassle of lifting and shifting monolithic apps, to data collection, aggregation, and analytics for IIoT deployments. Microsoft Azure Stack brings a ubiquitous Azure experience to private data centers, enabling seamless integration with resources across the Azure ecosystem. NetFoundry extends the power of software-only, instant-on connectivity to Azure Stack as an approved templated solution, enabling businesses to effectively manage workloads across the entire Azure ecosystem without bespoke connectivity solutions.

AGILE

Use our platform to instantly spin up and

rapidly scale software-only private networks

across the Azure ecosystem with pre-

built, cloud-native endpoints designed to

seamlessly integrate with any platform, including identity management & common DevOps tools.

SECURE

AppWANs are fortified with multi-dimensional

security, resulting in private, Zero

Trust, dark networks over the Internet, micro-segmented by application and

integrated with identity access management

(IAM) & hardware roots of trust.

FAST

NetFoundry’s network control fabric optimizes

AppWAN data flow across the Internet,

delivering 3-5x performance gains over

traditional VPNs, assuring exceptional quality of

experience (QoE) across the Azure ecosystem using a multi-faceted

approach.

SIMPLE

NetFoundry eliminates the headaches and

complexities of traditional networks

and VPNs by enabling you to spin up easily

managed overlay networks over the

Internet called AppWANs without building or

managing underlying infrastructure.
