Benefits of Cisco SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp include
- Multicloud automation: Automate and operate an SD-WAN extension to the cloud directly from the branch through the Internet or interconnect providers, or even via colocation environments with just a few clicks in Cisco vManage and without the need to develop expertise for each cloud provider.
- Unified security: Extend consistent enterprise segmentation policy and help protect users, devices, and applications by deploying security on-premises or in a cloud-delivered Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture.
- Consumption flexibility: A consistent UI and workflow allow you to orchestrate and provision Cisco, cloud provider, and colocation networking resources on demand, for a unified experience across all clouds and on-premises locations.
- Optimal application experience: Achieve greater visibility between cloud and on-premises, with insights into application performance, allowing you to optimize the user experience for your customers and employees, both on-premises and with SaaS/cloud applications.

Cisco SD-WAN Cloud Interconnect uses a cloud-agnostic backbone to provide site-to-site and site-to-multiple clouds connectivity. It automates on-demand connectivity between multiple sites and to the world’s leading cloud provider networks directly from your SD-WAN controller. Cisco SD-WAN Cloud Interconnect with Megaport or Equinix delivers reliable network performance while decreasing operational costs and complexity.
Cisco SD-WAN Cloud Hub leverages a cloud service provider’s backbone to extend SD-WAN fabric from any site to cloud workloads (site-to-cloud) and simplifies provisioning for site-to-site connectivity. Cisco SD-WAN Cloud Hub with Google Cloud automates provisioning, offers consumption-based pricing, and gives a high-performance network experience over Google Cloud’s extensive points of presence across the world.
