Best Virtual Routers

Blue Bowen
BB
Researched and written by Blue Bowen

Virtual routers are software-based solutions that provide routing capabilities traditionally handled by physical hardware routers. These solutions enable organizations to manage network traffic efficiently across various environments, including cloud, data centers, and edge networks, without the need for physical infrastructure. Virtual routers offer flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, allowing businesses to adapt to changing network demands while maintaining high performance and security. Key features include support for advanced routing protocols, secure VPN connectivity, centralized management, and integration with cloud services. They also provide robust security measures, such as firewalls and access control lists, to protect network integrity.

To qualify for inclusion in the Virtual Routers category, a product must:

Have features and use cases that do not fit into existing IT infrastructure categories
Provide software-based routing capabilities that can be deployed in virtualized environments, such as cloud or data centers
