ASX listed SDN networking supplier NetLinkz (ASX: NET) has launched, at the AWS Summit in Beijing its Virtual Security Network (VSN) for IoT, billed as the inaugural customer collaboration product from IoT Lab in Beijing and Chinese company iSoftStone.
VSN is billed as a cloud-based SD WAN for Android and IOS that offer fully meshed data transmission. It ewill be marketed and supported by Tonelink, iSoftStone’s specialist internet and cloud distribution business in China.
NetLinkz said the VSN would reduce the complexity of cloud SD WAN, operating devices on the SD WANedge and the rollout of IoT devices on a large-scale meshed network,”
“The VSN will also operate to secure connections between multiple branch locations and will also solve the issue of dealing with multi-cloud and hybrid cloud data transfers.”
According to NetLinkz iSoftStone is China’s leading software and cloud-based technology developer with a national footprint and over 55,000 employees, 1,000+ local and global corporate customers including 90+ Fortune 500 companies, and has commercial relationships with companies such as Huawei, China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu.
Sydney IoT Lab, with Grant Thornton
NetLinkz has also appointed Grant Thornton Australia as a strategic advisor for corporate and product sales and development in Australia, Asia and Europe and to assist with the establishment of an loT lab in Sydney.
NetLinkz says it will use the Grant Thornton resources in its Sydney loT Lab to assist with research and development and customer support.
Grant Thornton will facilitate sales of NetLinkz products to its customers and other businesses in Australia and New Zealand and advise NetLinkz on strategic acquisitions.
The invisible network
NetLinkz says it is the creator of the Virtual Invisible Network, billed as “a globally patented, award winning network technology that allows organisations to quickly connect sites, devices and staff over the internet through a unique network solution that is generally invisible.”
NetLinkz says the network is evolutionary “because it introduces the ability to create a new, fast and secure local area network (LAN) fabric over a wide area network (WAN).”
It adds: “Unlike traditional networks that can fail for many simple reasons such as a server going offline, the only way to shut down a mesh network is to shut down every node or device in the network. This unique architecture (seen in the picture on the right) and ability to create an efficient LAN experience over a WAN through proprietary software, means the Virtual Invisible Network is extremely reliable, fast and secure.
