The SCION-Internet is an international ecosystem of telecom, hosting, colocation and cloud that collaborate to create a new B2B-oriented internet. This next-generation network enables businesses to connect their users, partners and customers to their apps and resources in a path-aware, more available, performant and secure way.
Organisations are looking for application-aware, easy to manage, robust and secure solutions to support their business continuity.
For SD-WAN, application-awareness and ease of management are paramount. However, performance, trust and availability depend only on the properties of the underlying networks.
Public, available everywhere, but...insecure by design.
Secured, resilient, robust, but... private.
SCION is designed to provide path-control, failure isolation, and explicit trust information for end-to-end communication. This gives end-users strong control over their traffic, providing meaningful and enforceable trust, and enabling high path-awareness.
Select how your information is transmitted based on policies you select that optimise for location, speed, cost and quality.
Set-up path selection policies to avoid certain jurisdictions or regions to boost security and reliability.
The SCION protocol enables multi-path communication, which is essential for high availability, rapid failover in case of network failures, reserved global bandwidth, dynamic traffic optimisation, and resilience to attacks.
The SCION protocol gives you multiple path options so that there is always a suitable path, and never down-time.
With access to multiple paths, the SCION protocol enables users to switch paths in sub-second in the case of a pathing failure.
The SCION architecture provides strong resilience and security properties as an intrinsic consequence of its design preventing many attacks by design.
By its very nature, SCION is immune to a large array of routing attacks (e.g. prefix hijacking).
Through hidden paths, source authentication and global bandwidth reservation, SCION offers reliable protection from DDoS attacks.
"SCION is uniquely positioned as it solves the root causes of the Internet’s security problems – in contrast to other solutions focused on solving symptoms. Many corporations have shown a strong interest in our solutions and we look forward to serve them through Anapaya Systems."
Prof. Dr. Adrian Perrig,
Chairman & Co-Founder, Anapaya
Accessing and using the SCION-Internet helps organisations increase their business continuity, their global performance, and enables them to reliably access and use the network with virtually no risk of noticeable interruptions or security problems.
Businesses need Anapaya EDGE, the on-premise gateway to the SCION-Internet, and access provided by a SCION-enabled service provider.
The enabled participant deployed Anapaya CORE and are interconnected to form a global network that offers greater reach and extremely reliable and secure connectivity.
The SCION-Internet is present in Europe and Asia. Expansions in Europe and Asia, America and the Middle East will follow in the coming quarters.
Anapaya CORE is the software required on the service provider’s network to be SCION-enabled, to join the SCION-Fabric and to offer unprecedented connectivity for their clients.
Anapaya CORE provides distinct advantages for users, namely:
The Anapaya EDGE is the customers’ gateway to enter and control the network through the SCION-Fabric. It is available in a virtual or appliance form-factor, to be installed on physical premises or in a cloud environment.
Anapaya EDGE enables users to take advantage of its many benefits, such as:
Anapaya has secured 6.8 million CHF in funding with lead investor SIX Fintech Ventures, the corporate venture arm of SIX.
Observability is the art of making software's internal state observable to answer questions about performance, process interactions and causes of failure.
Blockchain is a new buzzword in the financial and logistics sector. Let’s take a look at how Anapaya's Next-Generation Internet complements blockchains.
