ActiVia SNet
Scalable, Secure Overlay IP Network
Securely Link and Communicate to Remote Devices
ActiVia SNet is a STRATACACHE network application enabling an application-level secure IP overlay network for public network content and media delivery. With ActiVia SNet, STRATACACHE applications can securely link and communicate to remote devices or media players thru NAT environments via secure tunnels across the public Internet without the use of dedicated VPNs.
How It Works
Key applications include Digital Signage, IP-Business Television, Content Delivery, Software Distribution and Commercial and Consumer Video on Demand systems.
ActiVia SNet defines one supernode per overlay network, serving as the central node of the network to which all edge devices securely communicate.
ActiVia SNet Functions:
- Links hosts through a secure IP overlay network
- Uses a single tunnel interface on each host to connect to an unlimited number of peers
- Allows communication between devices hidden behind NAT routers
- Performs IP allocation of devices
- Scalable star topology to tens of thousands of devices
- Encryption:Overlay SNet traffic is fully encrypted and secure
ActiVia SNet Benefits:
- Allows all applications to work in complex enterprise networks without significant changes to existing firewalls and network security
- Dramatically reduces network configuration time
- The supernode only requires a single port to be opened to its public IP
- Offers transition to IPv6 networks
- Lightweight: Can be implemented within embedded devices
ActiVia SNet needs zero agent configuration on Internet gateways or NAT routers,
making it the most versatile solution to connect over the public Internet. This configuration is optimized for client-server applications where a central server can reach edges and where the edges can also reach the central server.
ActiVia SNet is available for Windows, Linux and embedded platforms.
