EVPN in practice
With a EVPN, you create an exclusive, direct connection outside the public internet. EVPN's offer extra security, reliability and high, guaranteed capacity. Below are a number of practical applications of EVPN.
Outsourcing of data centre by Haagse Hogeschool
Haagse Hogeschool outsourced its data centre and chose a EVPN-connection for the connection with the data centre. Importantly, the capacity and continuity between the data centre and the campus remained guaranteed. This connection must of course be optimally protected, against DDos attacks for example. With EVPN, The Hague University of Applied Sciences created a strong and secure path between the data centre and the campus.
Shared data and computing infrastructure for umc's
Researchers at umc's work with large amounts of data, often of a sensitive nature. This data needs to be shared between them quickly, securely and easily. Here, a good, shared data and infrastructure is very important. Our lightpaths enable a secure network environment, shielded from the internet, to which every umc can connect.
With a EVPN-connection, we could actually build one internal network to which two sites are connected.
Connection options
To further ensure connection continuity, we also offer EVPN - Point-to-point Redundant. This way, the lightpath is even better protected against fibre breaks and equipment failures.
Setting up a virtual private network via EVPN multipoint and L3VPN multipoint
As an institution, do you work together from several different locations and want to set up online collaborations in a single network? Or do you want to use cloud providers in a secure but also convenient way? You can set up a virtual private network with an EVPN multipoint and L3VPN multipoint via SURF's network.
