All Rights Reserved IVChapter 1 Introduction Array vxAG is an SSL-based VPN platform that provides fast, secure and flexible L3VPN access, desktop express and mobile access. Through the integration of SSL acceleration, AAA and user policies, Array vxAG protects the security of the intranet while allowing employees, customers and partners to access the intranet remotely. Alibaba Cloud is a large cloud service platform that integrates functions such as cloud computing, cloud database, cloud storage and cloud shield. Array has now released vxAG image files to the software market of Alibaba Cloud International Service Platform. Users can retrieve and purchase vxAG image files in the software market of Alibaba Cloud platform and deploy Array vxAG on the Alibaba Cloud International service platform in the form of ECS instances to provide users with L3VPN access, Desktop Express and Mobile Access solutions. 1.1 How Array vxAG Works on Alibaba Cloud Alibaba Cloud International Service Platform provides Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and Elastic Compute Service (ECS). Customer can utilize Alibaba Cloud VPC and ECS to build its virtual network computing environment. 1.1.1 Alibaba Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) VPC is a private network dedicated to individual customer in Alibaba Cloud. Customers have full control over the VPC, such as specifying its IP address range, and configuring route tables and network gateways. You can also use Alibaba Cloud resources such as ECS, RDS, and SLB in your own VPC. For more information about Alibaba Cloud VPC, see Virtual Private Cloud documentation. Figure 1–1 VPC Topology 1.1.2 Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) Alibaba Cloud ECS is a type of computing service that features elastic processing capabilities. ECS has a simpler and more efficient management mode than physical 2020 Array Networks, Inc. All Rights Reserved 5servers. You can create instances, run different SW/OS (such as vxAG image), and add or release any number of ECS instances at any time to fit your business needs. For more information regarding to Alibaba Cloud ECS, see What is ECS. An ECS instance is a virtual computing environment that includes CPU, memory, networking, and other basic computing components. An instance is the core component of ECS and is the actual operating entity offered by Alibaba Cloud. Other resources, such as disks, images, snapshots, and network access information (IP addresses) can only be used in conjunction with an ECS instance. For the detail and latest available ECS instances, please see Alibaba Cloud International Instance type families. Note: The availability of each instance type may differ with region and time. 1.1.3 Recommended ECS Instance Types The vxAG computation and network performance is based upon the resources of the underlying Alibaba Cloud ECS instance type. Following are the recommended ECS Instance Types for vxAG. Table 1–1 vxAG Supported ECS Instance Types Private IP Memory Local disks Unit bandwidth Instance type vCPU ENIs address of a (GiB) (GiB) (Gbit/s) single ENI ecs.sn1ne.large 2 4 N/A 1 2 6 ecs.sn1ne.xlarge 4 8 N/A 1.5 3 10 ecs.sn1ne.2xlarge 8 16 N/A 2 4 10 Note: 40GiB local disk is acceptable for vxAG. 1.1.4 Network Deployment An Elastic IP (EIP) Address is a public IP address resource that you can purchase and use independently. When vxAG instance is deployed in an Alibaba Cloud VPC, an EIP is associated with the vxAG ECS instance for external access. Following is the Alibaba Cloud vxAG deployment topology, wherein the clients can access and utilize vxAG VPN services through the EIP. 2020 Array Networks, Inc. All Rights Reserved 6Figure 1–2 vxAG Deployment in Alibaba Cloud VPC 1.2 Usage Limitation and Guidelines  In the Alibaba cloud service architecture, if the vxAG is deployed with multiple network interfaces, the Alibaba VPC needs to be used. You should configure the VPC route table correctly to make sure that the management and external subnets are publicly accessible.  vxAG uses BYOL (Bring Your Own License) model license where all the available resources, such as the maximum sessions and maximum virtual portals, are specified. When purchasing a vxAG BYOL license from Array Customer Support, please specify the Alibaba ECS instance type.  The vxAG license has the following software features included as standard: – Host checking – Cache cleaner – SSL encryption for data in transit – Per-user policy engine – Multiple access methods (Web, Layer 3, client-server, thin client) – 64-bit architecture – Non-disruptive upgrades up to 600 concurrent users and 500Mbps throughput For vxAG for PAYG (Pay As You Go) and Subscription (Monthly/Annually), the image is pre-licensed with the max sessions and virtual portals. You can launch vxAG instance on Alibaba Cloud without contacting Array Networks. However; the license cannot be modified. 2020 Array Networks, Inc. All Rights Reserved 7Chapter 2 Deploying vxAG on Alibaba Cloud This section describes the process of deploying the vxAG ECS instance within the Alibaba Cloud VPC. 2.1 Creating VPC and VSwitch Before deploying the vxAG, you need to create a VPC first. For each VPC, we recommend two VSwitches for management and external access purposes. If additional VSwitches are needed, you can add them later. For more information about creating and configuring the Alibaba Cloud VPC, please refer to Create a VPC. Please also remember to purchase an Elastic IP as instructed in Create an EIP. 2.2 Creating vxAG Instance Alibaba Marketplace got all Array vxAG listed. Selected one and click Choose Your Plan.
