WD Enterprise Edge Intelligent Router, Secure, and Scalable Routing for the Digital Enterprise
Empowering enterprise edge with advanced SDN, robust security, and intelligent automation for next-generation connectivity.
Next-Gen SDN-Enabled Enterprise Edge Routing Solution
A next-generation enterprise edge router with integrated SDN, deep security, intelligent O&M, and flexible deployment to meet evolving business network demands.
WDEnterprise Edge Router redefines enterprise connectivity by integrating intelligent routing architecture, advanced SDN support, and dynamic service management in a single platform. Equipped with a multicore processor and modular network OS, it enables high-speed data forwarding and on-the-fly service updates. SDN-ready technologies like OpenFlow, Segment Routing, and EVPN provide centralized orchestration and traffic visibility. Granular control with DPI, QoS, and dynamic load balancing ensures optimized application performance. Enterprise-grade security is enforced with multi-VPN support, firewalls, DDoS protection, and access control. With intelligent network management through NETCONF, Python/TCL scripting, and EAA automation, enterprises can simplify operations and accelerate deployments. Built for resiliency, it supports BFD, VRRP, and multi-chassis redundancy, while its VSS and eco-friendly design contribute to operational efficiency and sustainability.
