cloudSwXtch from swXtch.io is a virtual overlay network that lets you add high performance networking
to your cloud or edge applications with the touch of a button… and no code changes

For documentation see: docs.swxtch.io

Benefits

Plug and Play - With cloudSwXtch, existing applications and services that expect standards-based IP multicast will work in Azure without requiring any code changes and with performance that approaches that of bare metal.
Converging Networks - cloudSwXtch enables integration of on-prem and cloud applications. It also bridges applications across vNets and regions.
wXcked Fast - Moving high-performance systems to the cloud can be difficult. cloudSwXtch can support unlimited endpoints with sub-millisecond latency for most applications.
Simplify Workflow - cloudSwXtch flexible architecture allows your endpoints to dynamically subscribe and unsubscribe to your streams as workflows dictate. This eliminates the requirement to start and stop virtual machines to reconfigure network connections.

Features

Multicast - cloudSwXtch enables true and seamless IP-multicast. Using multicast instead of unicast optimizes your network configuration and reduces your cloud distribution and egress costs. Supports jumbo frames.
Protocol Fanout - Protocol FanOut can take any packet protocol and fan it out to another packet protocol; forward a multicast stream to many receivers, while also mapping the multicast stream to many unicast devices alleviating the need for the sending device to send it in both protocols while making the network more efficient and reducing Egress costs.
ST 2022-7 Hitless Merge - cloudSwXtch SMPTE 2022-7 Hitless merge protects against data path failures by sending the same stream via two data paths. It compares packet reception from the multiple streams, detecting dropped packets, and reconstructs the output stream in the correct packet order.
Mesh - cloudSwXtch Mesh’s connects cloudSwXtches in a variety of dispersed network locations – different Vnets, regions, clouds, subnets, ect.). Additionally, a mesh is a way to group two or more swXtch's together to act as one to gain network performance.
Ground to Cloud <==> Cloud to Ground - cloudSwXtch integrates on-prem and cloud networks, creating a single data path.
Monitoring - Visibility down to the packet level for enhanced Monitoring and Quality of Service (QoS). wXcked Eye is our monitoring UI that enables users to audit the performance of their cloudSwXtch network. A REST API is provided to manage and control your network your way.

Important Notice

The cost of running this product is a combination of the selected software plan plus the Azure infrastructure costs of the virtual machines required to run the network architecture. Your Azure infrastructure price might vary if you have enterprise agreements or other discounts. Costs may vary by deployment region.
