automatically aer you have installed the license, and completed the configuration and deployment
process for the appliance.
You have now completed the initial installation and deployment of the SD-WAN VPX-SE Virtual Appli-
ance. However, there are some remaining steps to complete the set-up process for the Virtual Appli-

SD-WAN VPX Usage Scenarios
June 22, 2020
You can deploy VPX to accelerate the traic to or from a branch oice, to and from a particular server,
or in the cloud. In the data center, you can create a flexible and powerful configuration by assigning
a separate VPX instance to each server. Or, at any location, you can assign multiple VPX instances to
one server, for dierent types or levels of acceleration services within the same server.
For employees connecting through VPNs, VPX can accelerate their connections.
As with a physical appliance, inline mode is the most common type of configuration, but WCCP and
virtual inline modes can provide an eective deployment.

can provide an eective failover mechanism.
Branch-oice accelerator
A VPX image can be installed on the server of your choice and deployed just like a SD-WAN/SD-WAN ap-
pliance. VPX has all the functionality of a SD-WAN/SD-WAN appliance, and in addition has advantages
provided by virtualization. Group mode and high-availability modes are not supported.
