CohesiveFT's VNS3 is a network routing and security software-only virtual appliance. Enterprises use VNS3 to extend their networks into public, private and hybrid clouds by controlling connectivity, integration and security for cloud applications. Use VNS3 cloud network features and controls to start building your Azure cloud deployment.

• Hybrid Cloud Network Device - 6 Network Devices in One

  VNS3 creates an overlay networking on top of Azure infrastructure. VNS3 is a software-only virtual appliance that acts as 6 devices in 1: router, switch, SSL/IPSec VPN concentrator, firewall, protocol re-distributor, and scriptable network function virtualization.

• Built for Cloud - Cloud Native Networking

  VNS3 was built for the cloud in 2008, defined the cloud networking/NFV market and continues to innovate with Docker integration and now VNS3:ms. VNS3 integrates with the underlying cloud infrastructure and is highly interoperable with traditional physical network routing and security appliances.

• Control over IP Addressing, Network Topologies, and Multicast

  VNS3 provides Overlay Network functionality which was specifically developed for 3rd party owned and operated deployment environments. The Overlay Network allows users to control addressing, topology, protocols, and security in the public cloud.

• Scalable, High Availability, Hybrid-Cloud, Multi-Cloud, Multi-Geo

  VNS3 Manager instances are configurable in a mesh. VNS3 can run as a cluster to provide additional features and increased performance in single cloud regions, across regions and even across cloud providers.

• Docker Integration - Extend and customize your network functions

  VNS3 allows customers to add Layer 4-7 network services via its Docker LXC Container system. Users can add load balancing, proxy, reverse proxy, content caching, IDS, and other functionality directly to their VNS3 devices.
