EVPN-VXLAN Datacenter Fabric

Modern overlay networking for scalable, flexible datacenter infrastructure

Traditional Datacenter Network Limitations

Traditional datacenter networks using Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) waste bandwidth, limit scale, and create complex Layer 2 domains that are difficult to troubleshoot. As Philippine businesses adopt cloud infrastructure and multi-tenant services, these limitations become critical bottlenecks.

Extending networks across datacenters or integrating with cloud providers requires complex configurations that are fragile and difficult to maintain.

EVPN-VXLAN Modern Fabric

EVPN-VXLAN creates an overlay network that decouples logical topology from physical infrastructure. This enables any-to-any connectivity, eliminates STP, and provides seamless multi-tenancy. The solution scales to thousands of tenants and integrates cleanly with public cloud providers.

Our NaaS platform delivers fully managed EVPN-VXLAN fabrics using Juniper QFX switches. We handle the complex underlay and overlay configuration, giving you a modern datacenter network on a pure OPEX model.

How It Helps ISPs

  • Massive scale: 16M VXLAN identifiers vs 4K VLANs
  • Efficient bandwidth usage with ECMP across all links
  • Simple integration with public cloud networks
  • Automated provisioning of tenant networks
  • Seamless datacenter interconnect capabilities

How It Helps End-Users

  • Fast, consistent network performance within datacenter
  • Flexible VM/container placement without network constraints
  • Reliable multi-site connectivity for disaster recovery
  • Support for modern microservices architectures
  • Future-proof infrastructure that grows with your needs

Why MikroTik CCR Falls Short

  • No EVPN support - limited to basic VXLAN
  • Spanning Tree still required, wasting bandwidth
  • Manual configuration for each VLAN/tenant
  • Limited scale compared to enterprise solutions
  • No integration with SDN controllers
  • Difficult to extend across multiple datacenters
