Versa SD-WAN White-Box Appliances

Versa Networks offers a range of certified SD-WAN white-box appliances that come preloaded with the Versa Operating SystemTM (VOSTM) software. All white-box appliances must pass the Versa Networks Platform Qualification Service, which certifies the unit and its specific configuration for use by Versa customers. After a white-box appliance is certified, Versa works with the white-box vendor to add these units to the Versa Certified Appliance catalog. The catalog also contains pricing and terms for distribution and Return Material Authorization (RMA) services.

The Versa-certified SD-WAN white-box vendors are Advantech, Caswell, Dell, Lanner, and Silicom. To use the Versa SD-WAN software, you must purchase a Versa-certified appliance from one of these vendors.

The Versa certified white-box appliance models are named as Vxx or Vxxx. Table 1 lists the Versa-certified white-box appliances available as of May 9, 2019. For details about the appliance specifications, contact the appropriate vendor.

White-Box Appliance End-of-Support

White-box vendors are responsible for announcing end-of-life (EOL) or end-of-support (EOS) of their hardware platforms. Versa Networks does not influence the EOL or EOS decisions of white-box manufacturers. Versa Networks maintains and supports white-box software until it reaches the EOL and EOS states.

White-Box Appliance Software EOS Communication and Updates

Versa Networks communicates the software EOS for white-box appliances, regardless of the white-box appliance manufacturer's EOS. Versa is committed to providing timely updates about any changes in EOS status.
