Product Overview
Cloud VPN Service-Level Packages are a suite of prepackaged software capabilities that fully automate cloud VPN
service creation, including ordering, service chaining, orchestration, service assurance, and all the necessary
virtual network functions (VNFs) on the Virtual Managed Services platform. With these fully validated service-level
packages, your customers can quickly turn on, control, and assure cloud VPN services.
Two Cloud VPN Service-Level Packages are currently available with Virtual Managed Services:

Cloud VPN Foundation: This entry-level service package enables business customers to connect multiple
enterprise sites securely while managing Internet access locally on their premises. An enterprise can unify
its corporate network by interconnecting sites through this hosted cloud VPN service. All customer premises
equipment (CPE)

hosted virtual router in a hub-and-spoke topology with encrypted IPsec tunnels.
●
Cloud VPN Advanced: In addition to enabling business customers to connect multiple sites securely, this
package provides a firewall service for secure access to the Internet. All traffic traversing the hub-and-spoke
cloud VPN topology is secured through encrypted IPsec tunnels. Two optional services also can be offered
through the Cloud VPN Advanced package: remote-access SSL VPN for mobile users, and web content
security with advanced malware protection and real-time malware scanning capabilities.
