Why 6WIND
High-performance cloud networking without compromise
As organizations adopt cloud-native architectures, traditional networking approaches struggle to keep pace with the performance, scalability, and control required. The 6WIND Virtual Host Network Accelerator (vHNA) addresses this by embedding advanced routing directly into cloud infrastructure, enabling ultra-high throughput, deterministic low latency, and secure, scalable connectivity across distributed environments.

Key Benefits of 6WIND’s vHNA
Ultra-High-Performance Networking for Telco Cloud: Deliver multi-100 Gbps to Tbps throughput with deterministic low latency.
Kubernetes-Native Networking Without Compromise: Enable advanced routing and connectivity directly at the host level.
Accelerated Data Plane with SR-IOV: Maximize performance and efficiency for demanding workloads.
Simplified CNF and VNF Connectivity: Enable consistent, high-performance connectivity across cloud-native and virtualized environments.
Built-in Security and Network Segmentation: Ensure isolation and control with VRF, ACLs, and advanced security capabilities.
Reduced Operational Complexity and Scalable by Design: Automate lifecycle management and dynamically scale networking across distributed environments.
vHNA
High-Performance Cloud Networking
High-performance cloud networking built for cloud-native environments—delivering ultra-low latency, scalable connectivity, and full control at the host level.
Kubernetes-based Cloud Platforms
The 6WIND vHNA seamlessly integrates with Kubernetes-based cloud platforms and is natively managed by Kubernetes. This transparent integration allows K8S clusters and their nodes to be created with the desired connectivity and dynamically managed without requiring any network modifications.
As a result, Kubernetes Pods are directly routed to the fabric, reducing host network address translations and lowering processing overhead.
