About Aviatrix Edge Transit Gateway
Overview
The Aviatrix Edge Transit Gateway provides a secure, high-performance networking solution designed to simplify and accelerate hybrid and multicloud connectivity. It enables seamless routing and end-to-end encryption across various cloud providers and on-premises environments while providing centralized management and operational visibility.
The Edge Transit Gateway simplifies hybrid cloud networking by:
-
Unified cloud-native routing: Seamlessly connects cloud environments and on-premises datacenters using dynamic routing protocols, reducing operational overhead.
-
High Performance Encryption (HPE): Secure end-to-end encrypted connections, ensuring data privacy and compliance.
-
Centralized visibility: Provides real-time insights and monitoring across multicloud and hybrid networks, improving operational efficiency.
-
Automated deployments: Integration with tools such as Terraform, allows automated and repeatable infrastructure provisioning, reducing the need for manual intervention.
What makes Aviatrix Edge Transit Gateway different from other alternatives?
The following differentiates the Edge Transit Gateway from other alternatives:
-
Cloud-native and multicloud ready: The Aviatrix Platform was built for the cloud, and its integration with AWS, Azure, GCP, and other cloud providers allows to provide a consistent experience across all environments.
-
High Performance Encryption (HPE): Aviatrix’s patented encryption technology ensures minimal performance overhead while maintaining secure connections.
-
Automation-first approach: With Infrastructure as Code (IaC) capabilities and Terraform integration, Aviatrix enables faster, scalable, and automated network provisioning.
-
Partner integrations: Aviatrix’s partnerships with infrastructure providers such as Equinix and Megaport enable seamless hybrid cloud connectivity across distributed locations.
Does Aviatrix Edge Transit Gateway support high availability?
The Edge Transit Gateway supports active-active peering to the Aviatrix Transit Gateway in cloud and to Aviatrix Edge Spoke Gateway for high availability.
Does Aviatrix Edge Transit Gateway support connecting to multiple clouds?
The Edge Transit Gateway supports connecting to AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI cloud environments. An Edge Transit Gateway pair deployed in high availability (HA) can connect to all these cloud service providers simultaneously.
Does Aviatrix Edge Transit Gateway support interconnectivity provider environments?
The Edge Transit Gateway is integrated with Equinix Network Edge and Megaport Virtual Edge environments where the service is deployed as a VM in these environments and bootstrapped via zero-touch provisioning (ZTP). The Edge Transit Gateway can then be leveraged to build virtual connections to cloud service providers and build encrypted backbone across these provider environments.
Does Aviatrix Edge Transit Gateway support connecting to remote datacenter or on-premises locations?
The Edge Transit Gateway supports remote sites and provides end-end encryption by peering with Edge Spoke Gateways deployed at remote locations. You can deploy Edge Spoke Gateways at your datacenter and on-premises locations in an appliance form factor or as a VM and peer the Edge Spoke Gateway to the Edge Transit Gateway for high performance encrypted connectivity.
