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-

ance before adding it to your SD-WAN network. For instructions on completing the next step, please

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.

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.
