What is the Cloud Network Backbone?
Aviatrix’s secure cloud network backbone connects CSP native networking services in a single region, over multiple regions, or across multiple clouds, as well as on-prem environments and carrier-neutral colocation facilities, such as Equinix. The Aviatrix secure cloud network backbone solution solves several pain points network engineers encounter when building, securing, and operating a secure cloud network backbone without disrupting existing native cloud networking implementations.
The solution delivers advanced routing, dynamic traffic engineering, and security capabilities network engineers are familiar with but not available from CSPs. The secure cloud network backbone maintains the agility and automation platform teams expect in cloud and adds enterprise-grade operational resiliency and troubleshooting features that network teams require to support business-critical applications.
Aviatrix CoPilot provides a consistent operating model across all cloud environments. What’s more, automatically extending that operating model to the data center and/or Equinix edge locations reduces the manual effort required to resolve issues that impact business-critical application availability and performance.

White Paper: How to Implement a Secure Cloud Network Backbone
With increased cloud adoption, IT teams must find new ways to build a network architecture that enables operational consistency with embedded security. Aviatrix cloud networking simplifies this process with the cloud network backbone. This white paper provides a technical overview of the Aviatrix Enterprise Cloud Backbone Solution.
Modernize Your Cloud Network Backbone
Aviatrix Secure Cloud Backbone delivers advanced cloud networking features, embedded security, and enterprise-class visibility in the overlay — services not offered by any cloud provider. The Aviatrix control plane is fully aware of, leverages, and controls CSP networking services and underlying transport infrastructure. Unlike native cloud services, Aviatrix provides full ownership of the data plane and works seamlessly across multiple clouds. It is simple to deploy from any CSP marketplace and can be up and running without disruption in a few hours.
