Spinning up a new branch or <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/actualizing-edge-computing-benefits-in-your-enterprise-zs\/\">edge computing<\/a> site with traditional WAN infrastructure can be time-consuming and expensive, with network solutions needing to be purchased and installed and new MPLS links taking weeks or even months to activate. Each branch has infrastructure that admins need to manage remotely, which means accessing many different jump boxes and remembering many different configuration schemas. Essentially, it\u2019s like each branch has its own unique toolkit. That means every additional branch increases the management complexity, making it more likely that mistakes or inefficiencies will occur.<\/p>\n<p>The cloud-delivered branch is a relatively new concept that provides branch networking, security, and management solutions as a cloud-based service. The idea is to simplify remote management by reducing the number of individual solutions deployed at each branch and allowing admins to monitor and control all of their branches from a single place. This is like giving teams one single toolkit that can service every branch.<\/p>\n<p>This post describes the three cloud-based services involved in a cloud-delivered branch, and gives an example of how to implement a cloud-delivered branch using the Nodegrid platform from ZPE Systems.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;ToC&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Table of Contents<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#1\">How a cloud-delivered branch simplifies remote management<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"#1.1\">Cloud-managed branch gateways<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"#1.2\">Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN)<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"#1.3\">Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#2\">How to implement a cloud-delivered branch with Nodegrid<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"#2.1\">Vendor-neutral branch gateways and cloud management<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"#2.2\">Gen 3 out-of-band (OOB) management<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"#2.3\">Branch LAN management with SD-Branch<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;CTA&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#358AAF&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>To see examples of a cloud-delivered branch in action, request a free demo of the Nodegrid platform.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"HSSTYLEDCTA\" href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/products\/schedule-a-nodegrid-demo\/\">Request a Demo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; module_id=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"1\">How a cloud-delivered branch simplifies remote management<\/h2>\n<p>There are three key components of a cloud-delivered branch: cloud-based infrastructure management, cloud-based network management, and cloud-based cybersecurity. Let\u2019s discuss the technologies used in each component.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1.1\">Cloud-managed branch gateways<\/h3>\n<p>A branch gateway is a networking device that lives in the branch and provides access to the enterprise WAN as well as cloud resources and the internet. A gateway that\u2019s optimized for branch networking will usually combine multiple network functionalities in one to save rack space and reduce complexity. For the purposes of the cloud-delivered branch, one of these features should be device management, i.e. serial console\/console server technology. This functionality means that any infrastructure component connected to the gateway, whether it\u2019s via RJ-45 or Wi-Fi, can be remotely managed by simply logging into the gateway\u2019s software, reducing the need for a jump box or dedicated management hardware. Of course, what makes it a cloud-managed branch gateway is that admins manage it (and all connected infrastructure) from a cloud platform instead of directly connecting to the gateway over the WAN. This means that admins have management access from anywhere in the world, without needing to be on the enterprise network.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Learn More block&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; height: 276px; width: 80%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 266px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 266px; width: 427px;\">\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<h4>Learn more about cloud-based infrastructure management<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\u2605 <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/what-to-look-for-in-a-cloud-edge-gateway-solution-zs\/\">What To Look for In a Cloud Edge Gateway Solution<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\u2605 <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/cloud-managed-gateway-router-zs\/\">How to Use a Cloud Managed Gateway Router to Optimize OT Automation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1.2\">Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN)<\/h3>\n<p>SD-WAN, or software-defined wide area networking, simplifies WAN management by decoupling control functions from the underlying hardware and making them available as software. Essentially, SD-WAN splits a WAN architecture into two layers: the physical hardware that connects branches to the enterprise network (e.g., cloud-managed branch gateways), and the networking logic that orchestrates WAN traffic (e.g., routing rules and load balancing). In a cloud-delivered branch, SD-WAN\u2019s software lives in the cloud, giving network teams a centralized place from which to monitor and control the entire WAN architecture, no matter how many branches are involved.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Learn More block&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; height: 276px; width: 80%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 266px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 266px; width: 427px;\">\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<h4>Learn more about cloud-based network management with SD-WAN<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\u2605 <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/sd-wan-benefits-your-definitive-guide-zs\/\">SD-WAN Benefits: Your Definitive Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\u2605 <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/a-guide-to-sd-wan-deployment-models-zs\/\">A Guide to SD-WAN Deployment Models<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\u2605 <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/the-definitive-sd-wan-security-checklist-for-enterprise-networks\/\">The Definitive SD-WAN Security Checklist for Enterprise Networks<\/a><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1.3\">Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)<\/h3>\n<p>SASE (pronounced \u201csassy\u201d) is a solution that combines multiple enterprise security technologies into a single stack that\u2019s delivered as a cloud-based service. SASE uses SD-WAN technology to directly connect branch users and devices to enterprise resources in the cloud, first passing that traffic through the SASE stack to ensure that security policies and controls are applied. That means this traffic doesn\u2019t need to go through a traditional firewall, which reduces bottlenecks at the central data center without requiring a security appliance at each branch. Eliminating firewalls at most branches decreases management complexity for network admins, and reducing the load on a centralized data center firewall improves performance for the entire enterprise.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Learn More block&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; height: 276px; width: 80%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 266px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 266px; width: 427px;\">\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<h4>Learn more about cloud-based cybersecurity with SASE<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\u2605 <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/how-sase-technology-defends-your-network-edge-zs\/\">How SASE Technology Defends Your Network Edge<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\u2605 <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/sase-model-zs\/\">The SASE Model: Key Use Cases &amp; Benefits<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\u2605 <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/sase-implementation-zs\/\">SASE Implementation: A Step-by-Step Guide for Businesses<\/a><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2\">How to implement a cloud-delivered branch with Nodegrid<\/h2>\n<p>A cloud-delivered branch uses cloud-based infrastructure management, network management, and security to simplify remote branch management.

These all-in-one networking solutions provide routing, switching, and console server management functionality, reducing the number of infrastructure devices that need to be deployed. All Nodegrid devices are completely vendor-neutral, which means you can use them to host your SD-WAN, SASE, or edge computing applications, saving you from buying and installing additional hardware. In addition, vendor-neutral Nodegrid gateways unify branch infrastructure management through the<a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/products\/software-cloud\/cloud-based-network-management-zs\/\"> ZPE Cloud<\/a> software. Any infrastructure connected to a Nodegrid device at any branch is available to manage through ZPE\u2019s centralized, cloud-based platform, simplifying remote management and providing greater opportunities for optimization and automation. Plus, ZPE Cloud software is also vendor-neutral, meaning you can integrate third-party apps and tools to create a fully customizable infrastructure and network orchestration platform.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2.2\">Gen 3 out-of-band management<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most challenging aspects of remote branch management is recovering from network outages without any technical staff on-site to reboot devices or refresh IP addresses.<a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/solutions\/out-of-band-management-solutions-zs\/\"> Out-of-band (OOB) management<\/a> solves this problem by providing an alternative path to critical remote infrastructure that doesn\u2019t rely on the production WAN or LAN. Teams use OOB management to troubleshoot and fix problems and recover from outages, reducing the need for costly truck-rolls. Nodegrid branch gateways provide<a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/solutions\/remote-network-management\/out-of-band-serial-console-zs\/\"> Gen 3 OOB management<\/a> capabilities, the most advanced form of OOB technology. Nodegrid gateways are considered Gen 3 because they support third-party infrastructure and network automation via the OOB network. That means teams can use their preferred scripting languages and tools to execute resource-intensive automation workflows on a management network that\u2019s completely separate from the production network. For example, admins can run<a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/using-aiops-and-machine-learning-to-manage-automated-network-infrastructure-zs\/\"> AIOps<\/a> root-cause analysis tools to fix problems, or orchestrate automation device provisioning, without taking up valuable MPLS bandwidth or creating additional latency on the production LAN. Additionally, companies typically need a jump box at every branch to host all their troubleshooting, remediation, and automation tools. The benefit of vendor-neutral Nodegrid devices is that they become a one-stop shop for OOB as well as all the services and tools you\u2019d normally install on a jump box. This eliminates the need for separate out-of-band management and jump box appliances.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2.3\">Branch LAN management with SD-Branch<\/h3>\n<p>SD-WAN provides software abstraction and cloud management for WAN architectures, but it typically stops at the edge of the branch, meaning admins use a different solution to manage the internal branch LANs. <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/products\/branch-solutions\/\">Nodegrid gateways<\/a> extend software-defined networking control into the branch LAN using technology called<a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/solutions\/sd-branch\/\"> SD-Branch<\/a>. That means teams can use the same ZPE Cloud platform to control every aspect of branch networking, creating a streamlined management environment that increases efficiency and ensures holistic coverage. Using a Nodegrid device for your cloud-delivered branch reduces the number of network solutions deployed at each site, standardizes branch network management, and increases your automation and orchestration capabilities. Deploying fewer boxes decreases the cost to spin up a new branch, while standardization and automation helps to reduce operating expenses and increase operational efficiency.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text
