What This Enables
Enable Advanced Network Segmentation
Enable teams to logically partition their network into isolated segments, improving security and performance for critical applications. Streamline traffic management by directing data flow through specific routing instances tailored to business needs.
On-premises data centers, multi-tenant environments, campus networks
Enhance Security Posture
Automate the isolation of sensitive data and applications from general network traffic, reducing the attack surface. Protect against unauthorized access and lateral movement by enforcing strict routing policies between network segments.
Regulated industries, secure development environments, guest network isolation
Support Complex Routing Requirements
Streamline the implementation of complex routing policies required for multi-homing, traffic engineering, or specific application needs. Ensure compliance with internal security mandates and external regulatory requirements through granular control.
Large enterprise networks, service provider edge deployments, network consolidation projects

Industry Applications
Finance & Insurance
Financial institutions require stringent network segmentation to isolate trading systems, customer data, and internal operations, often driven by regulatory compliance like PCI DSS and SOX.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare providers must secure sensitive patient data (PHI) and comply with HIPAA regulations, necessitating robust network segmentation to protect medical devices and patient records.
Government & Public Sector
Government agencies handle classified or sensitive information and often have strict security mandates, requiring advanced network isolation to protect critical infrastructure and data.
Manufacturing & Industrial
Industrial networks often need to segregate operational technology (OT) from IT networks to prevent cyber threats from impacting production systems, ensuring business continuity and safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a VRF?
VRF, or Virtual Routing and Forwarding, is a technology that allows a single physical router to host multiple, independent routing tables. This enables network segmentation, where different sets of network traffic can be isolated from each other.
What does 'Full Scale' mean in this license?
Full Scale implies that the license enables the maximum capacity or feature set for VRF deployment on the supported platform, allowing for extensive segmentation and routing complexity.
Is this a perpetual license or a subscription?
This is a subscription-based license, providing ongoing access to the software features for the duration of the subscription term.
