EVPN VXLAN (Ethernet VPN Virtual Extensible LAN) is a modern network fabric technology combining EVPN for control-plane (MAC address learning and propagation) and VXLAN for data-plane (overlay tunneling) to build scalable, flexible, and multi-tenant data center and cloud networks.

Enterprise Data Center is a centralized or distributed facility housing the core IT infrastructure—servers, storage, networking, and environmental controls—for large organizations. It supports mission-critical workloads, applications, and data storage. UnityOne.AI delivers holistic DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management), observability, and automation

Enterprise Network Security covers the technologies, policies, and processes that protect a company’s networks from cyber threats, unauthorized access, data breaches, and disruptions. This includes firewalls, IDS/IPS, network segmentation, and monitoring.

Ethernet Switching refers to the use of Ethernet switches to route and manage data packets in a local area network (LAN) or datacenter network, optimizing bandwidth and connectivity between devices.

Edge Network consists of the connectivity fabric that links edge devices, edge datacenters, and the central enterprise network or cloud. Edge networking supports localized traffic, optimized routing, and secure communications for distributed deployments.

Edge Security involves safeguarding data, devices, and applications operating at the edge—where attack surfaces are significantly expanded—using endpoint protection, network segmentation, encryption, and threat detection.

Edge Datacenter denotes smaller, distributed data centers located closer to end users or devices—often in urban, branch, or remote locations—to reduce latency and enable local data processing. Edge datacenters complement central cloud or core datacenters, supporting IoT, video analytics, and

Edge Devices are network-connected hardware located at the farthest edge of an enterprise network—such as IoT sensors, gateways, kiosks, or smart cameras—that generate, process, or exchange data locally. UnityOne.AI enables scalable onboarding, remote monitoring, updating, and policy-driven management of edge

Edge Management encompasses the centralized control, monitoring, configuration, and policy enforcement for edge devices, applications, and infrastructure. Effective edge management ensures security, performance, and compliance for distributed systems. UnityOne.AI provides unified dashboards and automated policy workflows for scalable edge management

Edge Analytics involves the real-time processing and analysis of data at the edge of the network—on or near the data source—rather than in a central repository or cloud. This reduces latency, improves responsiveness, and optimizes bandwidth usage. UnityOne.AI enables edge
