Myth #5 - Implementing SCION is so complex that it's difficult to even know where to begin.

Not at all! 

Implementing SCION is similar to setting up an Internet connection and is significantly simpler than deploying an SD-WAN. It requires minimal effort and can be quickly integrated into existing network infrastructures. Plus, there is an Anapaya Knowledge Base always available, too.  

It starts here: we support you in defining your network topology, then we run a proof of concept to gauge what the deployment of SCION in your network would look like. Once we see how it fits with existing systems and any specific requirements that might be needed in addition, we can clearly state the viability of SCION for your specific use case. And for every need, there is a specific solution. 

SCION for ISPs

If you are an ISP, Anapaya CORE is right for you. The CORE promises seamless integration with existing intra-domain networks, making for a swift transition to SCION capabilities without a complete network overhaul. Just a few border routers and following a 3-step process, and your network is SCION-ready.  

SCION for critical infrastructure and businesses

Secure whole ecosystems with EDGE-to-EDGE network performance, transparency and control. Anapaya EDGE connects your business network to the SCION Internet via your ISP, handling both incoming and outgoing traffic according to your specific requirements. It allows for customization in how traffic is routed and managed, ensuring reliability and flexibility. The Anapaya EDGE is installed physically or in a virtual environment at the edge of a customer’s network.  

If you need to secure business critical services for remote users, Anapaya GATE is for you. This is the gateway that connects end-users to the SCION Internet and securely manages the flow of traffic. Plus, it is set up in just 3 steps.  

You can visualize it too!

If you are trying to wrap your head around what this actually looks like, you can visualize your SCION network with the Anapaya CONSOLE. Check out our blog "How to visualize interdomain networks with Anapaya Console" for the details. 

Anapaya CONSOLE offers you not only a high-level overview, but also detailed node information and enhanced ownership controls. Plus, all metrics and alerts are in real time.

If you think you are doing everything possible to protect your network today and are not worried about cyberattacks, read myth 3 "SCION is unnecessary for our security because we've never had a cyber incident". We'll prove you wrong – there is a better way with SCION. 

Whether you are an ISP, business or critical infrastructure decision-maker, our solutions can help you achieve peace of mind.
