1- Internet Brownout detection

2- Guaranty symmetry  (flow for firewall , LoadBalancer or proxy )

3- Application performance ( sub-application )



  • Central control. The CloudGenix Central Controller software can run in the cloud as a virtual machine (VM) in the local network or on a CloudGenix X86 box in the data center. It is the central point of control, management, policy setting, analytics, and reporting for the SD-WAN fabric.
  • Traffic forwarding. CloudGenix ION Elements are flow forwarders, analogous to WAN routers, that handle traffic forwarding at multi-gigabit line rates. Customers can buy CloudGenix ION appliances or use their own hardware and install it as a VM at branches, headquarters, co-locations, and public cloud (IaaS) locations.
  • Secure application fabric. CloudGenix ION Fabric is the overlay mesh of ION Elements. The ION Fabric contains one or more virtual networks that abstract the physical hybrid WAN they ride on top of. By default, all traffic flowing across the fabric (i.e., between ION Elements) is encrypted with AES-256 IPsec for software-defined security.
  • Application fingerprinting. CloudGenix takes a unique approach to application fingerprinting, using sessions flowing between endpoints to identify applications rather than using signatures or deep packet inspection (DPI), which is difficult to rely on because of the increasing number of encrypted application payloads in modern networks.
  • Sophisticated path selection. In the CloudGenix forwarding approach, there are no routing protocols. Rather, a complex decision-making process takes into consideration real-world throughput, link capability, and application performance requirements.
  • CloudGenix’s policy manager is designed for simplicity. Rather than operators having to know nuanced network details to write a policy, CloudGenix expresses complex network goals in a simplified, business-oriented way. Humans can read and understand a completed policy.
  • Traffic analytics. The CloudGenix traffic analytics system shows specific application flow information and provides performance and compliance reports that are immediately useful to a business.
