Description
Ananda Networks develops overlay networks that are not only secure and high-performing but also low-latency, eliminating the necessity for traditional firewalls, VPNs, and SD-WAN solutions, thereby facilitating seamless connections for businesses to their remote users, devices, clouds, and applications regardless of location. We are witnessing a profound transformation towards a fully distributed workforce, presenting unprecedented challenges in delivering rapid, secure, and straightforward connectivity to employees. Yet, the architects of the Internet, designed in the 1960s, could not have foreseen the demands of modern enterprises in the 21st century. As organizations evolve from centralized to hub-and-spoke structures and now to distributed cloud models, the expectation for a considerable portion of the workforce to work remotely on a long-term basis has surged, leading to a migration of data and applications across multiple cloud platforms. Consequently, the traditional paradigms of networking and security, which are heavily reliant on centralized hardware and IP frameworks, are rapidly becoming outdated as businesses adapt to new operational realities. This shift not only highlights the inadequacies of legacy systems but also emphasizes the urgent need for innovation in connectivity solutions.
Description
CloudConnexa is OpenVPN's cloud-delivered Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) platform that also delivers core Security Service Edge (SSE) capabilities, letting organizations replace legacy VPN infrastructure with a fully managed, cloud-native service. Signing up provisions a private overlay network, conceptually a virtual distributed router and next-generation firewall, spanning 30+ global regions connected in a full-mesh topology for low-latency, redundant routing between points of presence.
Private infrastructure joins this network through Connectors: Network Connectors attach entire private networks (offices, data centers, VPCs/VNets in AWS or Azure), while Host Connectors attach individual servers or IoT devices. Hosts run an OpenVPN client to expose specific services. Remote users, sites, and cloud resources connect over encrypted OpenVPN tunnels, with Data Channel Offload (DCO) support for higher throughput on Linux.
Access is governed by identity-based, role- and group-based policies, with SAML, LDAP, and SCIM integration so admins scope users to only the resources they need. Application domain-based routing cloaks real IP addresses, enabling microsegmentation without exposing server infrastructure.
Built-in Cyber Shield security bundles DNS content filtering across 43+ categories, intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS), Device Identity Verification & Enforcement (DIVE) for posture checks, and two-factor authentication. Admins get audit logging, SIEM integration, and alerting for visibility and troubleshooting.
It's all managed from a single cloud dashboard, giving organizations scalable, zero-trust connectivity without operating their own VPN servers.
