LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwired) — 07/06/16 — AWS EXECUTIVE SUMMIT — , a cloud-native security and networking company, today announced the availability of VNS3 version 4.0 in Amazon Web Services (AWS), and all cloud environments. Cohesive Networks– innovative approach to application-focused security differentiates VNS3 as the first software-only virtual network appliance that offers end-to-end encrypted networking capabilities at the application layer. VNS3 4.0 includes a new, hardened underlying Operating System (OS), delivering deeper insight into network security, and elevating the level of application protection beyond what was previously available.
“We went from 90% on-premises to 99% in the cloud in about 30 – 45 days,” said Chris Cata, Manager Network Operations at Foley Carrier Services. “Our cloud migration project almost didn–t happen without Cohesive Networks. VNS3 helped us achieve the flexible, multi-site VPN connectivity we needed, while Amazon–s built in VPN products did not.”
Over 2,000 VNS3 users have shaped the direction of the product, from an encrypted IPsec VPN device to a more robust product family that offers network management, cross-cloud connectivity, and high availability. VNS3 customers have been successfully running cloud networks for over 1 billion hours of network virtualized security.
“Years of experience in enterprise networking and security have taught us to look further into the future, beyond predictions or fears,” said Patrick Kerpan, CEO of Cohesive Networks. “5-star sentiment in the AWS Marketplace validates that VNS3 offers the end-to-end control cloud users need to flexibly connect and secure their applications.”
