| Virgin Media SD-WAN Network Solutions | Features |
Virgin Media Business and Versa Networks SD-WAN
Virgin Media with Versa SD-WAN
The default SD-WAN vendor for Virgin Media Business, Versa Networks is recognised for their fully-managed SD-WAN multi-tenancy capabilities, which segregates and manages network resources across departments or branches within an organisation. The Versa network segregation feature is suited to businesses that operate on a large scale or have multiple operational units, allowing for branches to quickly be brought online (when compared to both traditional WAN networks and other SD-WAN solutions for Virgin Media Business).
Due to being the default vendor option, Versa Networks’ SD-WAN solution achieves this by integrating the most easily with Virgin Media Business’ network infrastructure. This ease is emphasised by enabling complex enterprise requirements, such as Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) functionalities for efficient branch device monitoring and support for redundant controllers for high-availability network access.
With branch connectivity in mind, organisations will typically be concerned about the deployment flexibility of Versa Networks with Virgin Media Business, especially when considering that not all organisations are deploying at the same growth stages or with similar network demands. Virgin have specifically chosen to use Versa for this reason as the cost-effective nature means there is alignment with the SME market but also, given Versa’s broad feature set, there are more advanced capabilities in order to cater for larger enterprises too.
One of the main benefits of using Versa with Virgin Media Business is that Versa fully integrates Virgin’s underlay and security functions into a single, easy to consume solution. This integrated approach helps businesses consolidate their network infrastructure and reduce the complexity associated with managing multiple standalone products, creating full visibility into network activity at the application level through a centralised dashboard.
In terms of WAN Edge Routing, Versa Networks virtualised network functions (VNFs) are deployed on their cost-effective commodity appliances. This method offers a budget-friendly alternative to traditional hardware-based routing solutions, which again ensures their is a good ROI for businesses moving from more costly solutions such as MPLS or VPLS. To complement this, Virgin Media Business SD-WAN connectivity options, range from 4G to Ethernet, with bandwidth options up to 5Gbps. This flexibility allows businesses to optimise their network based on specific requirements, including the removal of expensive underlays where cheaper, aggregated underlay can be used in its place.
Virgin Media Business and Versa Networks SASE Security
Versa Networks’ SASE solution integrates networking and security functions into a single Virgin product. The solution is combined with Virgin to consolidate network security functions across firewalls, intrusion detection, and prevention systems with SD-WAN capabilities.
The SASE solution from Versa Networks is designed with agility and cost efficiency as the primary solution objective. Versa SASE offers multi-tenancy, multiple services, elasticity, and zero-touch provisioning, which are essential for businesses requiring a consolidated SD-WAN and Cybersecurity offering.
The steps of Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
If you’re already a Virgin Media Business customer, the integration of Versa Networks’ SD-WAN and SASE solutions can offer significant value. Virgin Media Business provides an end-to-end SD-WAN service, partnering with Versa Networks to deliver a comprehensive package that includes both the network underlay and software overlay. This partnership ensures efficient deployment and a cohesive service, eliminating the complexities often associated with managing connectivity, hardware, and software from different suppliers.

Virgin Media and VeloCloud SD-WAN
The final vendor in this article, VMware offers VeloCloud, a Cloud-Delivered SD-WAN which is noted for their early adoption of cloud-based delivery. Given that Virgin Media Business is increasingly supporting cloud dependencies and distributed workforces, VMware is therefore the most ideal solution for using Virgin Media Business for cloud applications and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). VeloCloud integrates both virtual and physical appliances to connect various company locations through broadband Internet access or MPLS, with this overlay capability incorporates both private clouds (e.g. AWS) and SaaS applications such as Office 365.
The architecture of VeloCloud’s solution is comprised of four key components:
- Gateways: Deliver network services from the cloud, optimising data paths to data centres, branches, and web applications.
- Edges: Zero-touch appliance that ensures connectivity to applications, manages Quality of Service (QoS), and hosts VNF services.
- The Orchestrator: Centralises the installation, monitoring, and configuration of the enterprise-wide SD-WAN, which manages the network’s data flow.
- The Controller
VeloCloud’s platform is best suited for hybrid and remote workforces, due to being designed to enable cloud platforms, especially when used alongside Virgin Media Business underlay. VeloCloud also reduces the complexity of service provider networks, lower operating costs, and provide control through a single user interface. This approach is beneficial for operators and MSPs via differentiated services over broadband or alongside MPLS. The architecture includes cloud gateways, a service delivery layer, and an orchestration layer. VeloCloud cloud gateways consist of a global network that sits atop the underlying transport, while the service delivery layer includes network services – i.e. QoS and firewalls. The orchestration layer focuses on visualisation, network service insertion and business policy automation.
VeloCloud’s SD-WAN models are available in two types: Over The Top (OTT) and network integrated. The OTT model offers a lightweight, versatile WAN solution that is transport-agnostic, suitable for Virgin Broadband and Leased Lines. The network integrated model provides multi-tenant virtual gateways deployed in data centres and service provider networks to ensure optimal access to cloud-based applications and on-demand bandwidth.
Virgin Media and VeloCloud SASE Security
VeloCloud’s SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) integrates networking and network security services into a single, cloud-delivered service model. Their integration is designed to support the dynamic secure access needs of Virgin customers, especially businesses with a significant presence in the cloud and a distributed workforce.
VeloCloud’s SASE provides secure and optimised connectivity to cloud applications. This capability  is achieved through a combination of advanced networking and security functions, which work together to ensure that data and applications are securely accessible regardless of the user’s location. The VeloCloud solutions is particularly relevant for Virgin’s customers which rely heavily on cloud services and have remote or home office employees. VeloCloud converge networking and security services by reducing the complexity associated with managing multiple standalone products.
VeloCloud’s SASE security posture offers advanced threat protection, secure web gateway, and firewall capabilities. Virgin customers are protected against a wide range of cyber threats to maintain a high level of security as they adopt cloud services and support a distributed workforce.
For customers of Virgin Media Business, the integration of VeloCloud’s SASE solution can offer significant advantages. Virgin Media Business provides SOGEA, FTTP and leased line internet connectivity options, which is combined with VeloCloud’s SASE results in a secure network infrastructure. The partnership is particularly advantageous for businesses that require reliable and high-performance connectivity to support their cloud-based applications and services.
Lastly, VeloCloud’s SASE solution presents a unified approach to networking and security, offering features that are well-suited to Virgin clients with cloud-centric operations and distributed workforces.
