\n Modern networking for modern needs <\/p>\n \n

\n Connecting future <\/h2>\n \n
\n

Software-defined networking, or SDN for short, is a technological approach to network management that enables dynamic, programmatically created network configurations.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/header>\n \n

\n Improved network performance <\/h3>\n <\/header>\n \n
\n

SDN features focus on providing improved network performance and capabilities while decoupling the network configuration from the physical infrastructure much like cloud computing has done for traditional hosting.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n\n

\n High Availability <\/h3>\n <\/header>\n \n
\n

Our SDN features are available globally in all of our data centers that are all built around N+1 redundancy principle. This means every service critical system has at least 1 redundant backup that’ll take over automatically in case of failure.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n\n

\n Connect UpCloud networks to VPNs <\/h3>\n <\/header>\n \n
\n

Join your private networks with any internet connected networks securely over a VPN. Freely configure any connected Cloud Server to act as a VPN endpoint for your private network.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n\n

\n Unlimited production-grade private networks <\/h3>\n <\/header>\n \n
\n
\n

Using SDN, you are able to build multiple production-grade private networks between your Cloud Servers with more granular control. Create as many networks as needed and attach it to only the servers required.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n\n

\n Isolate network environments utilizing firewalls <\/h3>\n <\/header>\n \n
\n

You can separate individual private networks by creating isolated environments within zones and only allowing traffic through a Cloud Server acting as a firewall and router.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n\n

\n

\n Define own private IP addressing schemes <\/h3>\n <\/header>\n \n
\n

Use your own private IP address ranges allowing easy integration with existing applications. These IPs can be distributed automatically by using DHCP or manually by attaching static IPs for the Cloud Servers.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
