Configuring multicast on a physical network typically adds configuration and maintenance complexity. It is hard to control and increases the risk of security breaches, network congestion, and failure.
groundSwXtch creates a controllable, scalable, managed network in software that is simple to configure, modify, and monitor.
Groundbreaking Advantages
Bypass multicast provisioning on physical devices, reducing configuration errors, downtime, and administrative overhead.
Focus on innovation rather than maintenance.
Use existing infrastructure to achieve multicast capabilities, lowering capex and opex costs while extending the life of your current assets.
​
Avoid costly hardware upgrades or replacements.
Enhanced Flexibility and Scalability
Scale effortlessly, adding nodes, adjusting flows, or expanding globally without physical reconfigurations, even in containerized deployments.
Improved Reliability and Security
Safeguard data integrity on hybrid links with built-in packet protection.
Gain real-time visibility to proactively resolve issues and minimize disruptions.
Seamless Hybrid Operations
Bridge on-prem and cloud worlds into a single, high-performance hybrid network.
​
Support cloud bursting during peak loads, optimizing bandwidth usage, and ensuring consistent performance across environments.
