The Powerful Versatility of
VENA & VECTA HARDWARE APPLIANCES
One Intelligent Edge Device Delivers Every OMNIA Component
VENA & VECTA bring your chosen OMNIA networking and security services together in one intelligent edge device, reducing hardware clutter, power consumption and management complexity. Combine SD-WAN, cybersecurity and encryption with connections to SASE gateways, cloud applications and remote users. Multi-WAN connectivity and resilient failover help keep operations running, while centralised control simplifies management across sites. With throughput up to 1Gbps, you can consolidate appliances without multiplying the workload.
Extend OMNIA connected cyber resilience to the edge
VENA & VECTA EDGE bring OMNIA services together on a flexible uCPE foundation, with deployment and managed-service options designed to grow with your needs.

A flexible edge foundation makes it easy to add OMNIA components over time
Managed As-A-Service
We will manage your OMNIA solution with you or for you
Suitable for Every Site and Every Business
Available in 3 powerful sizes to suit every site requirement
Flexible Deployment
Available as desktop or 1U rack-mounted appliances, with single or high-availability configurations
Give Your Network an Edge Without Giving IT More to Manage
When your edge needs simplifying
- Branch sites are accumulating separate networking and security appliances
- New services mean more hardware, power consumption and management
- You need to expand capabilities without adding complexity at every location
Why VENA & VECTA Edge Devices are Different
More capability shouldn’t mean more boxes. VENA & VECTA replace the appliance-per-function approach by running your chosen OMNIA networking and security services as segmented virtual functions on one intelligent device. Expand services without multiplying appliances, choose the capabilities you need when you need them, and scale with flexible terms and options that avoid contractual lock-in. It’s an integrated alternative to hardware sprawl - not another box to add to it.
Upgrade your capabilities. Not your hardware collection

VENA & VECTA Edge Hardware Devices
Brief Technical Sheet
VENA and VECTA Edge Hardware Devices are ATOMNIA’s universal CPE (uCPE) edge appliances for the OMNIA solution. They run SD-WAN, SASE, encryption and OMNIA Cyber Command (OMNIA CCP) services on a single lean, green device.
| Area | Technical specification |
| uCPE platform | Segmented virtual network functions (VNFs) enable SD-WAN, security and Layer 2, 3 and 4 encryption services to run simultaneously on the same appliance. |
| OMNIA services | Supports SD-WAN, SASE/Zero Trust access, data assurance encryption, remote access, OMNIA CCP, SD-WAN Cloud and secure IoT connectivity as VNFs. |
| Form factors | Available as desktop or 1U rack-mounted appliances, in single or high-availability configurations. Both ranges are offered in three performance tiers for small branches, standard sites and higher-throughput locations. |
| Wireless and mobile resilience | Integrated Wi-Fi capability supports local wireless edge requirements. A SIM slot provides 4G/LTE failover when primary underlay links fail. |
| Power options | A 12 V DC power input option enables operation during power outages, during load-shedding and in remote areas where power is not available. |
| Global service | Available for delivery, installation, management and support in 190 countries. |
| VENA role | Virtual Edge Network Appliance optimised for SD-WAN and SASE access deployments at branches and smaller sites. Hosts VNFs including SD-WAN, router, firewall and deep packet inspection. |
| VENA hardware | Fixed desktop form factor, with an optional rack-mount kit for 19-inch racks. Intel x86, multi-core architecture supports concurrent SD-WAN, security and encryption functions. |
| VENA connectivity | Multiple 1 GbE Ethernet interfaces for WAN and LAN roles; exact port maps vary across the three VENA models. Wi-Fi and an optional SIM slot for 4G failover are supported. |
| VECTA role | Virtual Edge Core Termination Appliance for higher-throughput sites, hubs and core-edge access deployments. Hosts SD-WAN, routing, firewall, deep packet inspection and other VNFs in demanding environments. |
| VECTA hardware | 1RU rack-mount appliance for data centres, PoPs, regional hubs and large branches. Uses Intel processors optimised for networking, with a higher core count and network-optimised architecture for multi-gig throughput and high VNF density. |
| VECTA resilience | Redundant 1+1 power supply and support for high-availability deployments, including active/standby or clustered configurations as required in OMNIA designs. |
| VECTA connectivity | Up to 14 physical network connections, with 1 GbE and 10 GbE interfaces for multiple WAN underlays and high-speed LAN/uplink connections. Supports integration of a 20-port usable switch into the chassis. |
Deployment and Consumption
VENA is a compact device designed for businesses that require the scalable or the full OMNIA stack. VECTA is designed for headquarters, data centres, aggregation hubs and large campus sites requiring higher port density and performance.
Both appliances can be consumed as-a-Service, removing upfront hardware Capex and aligning costs with Opex and PAYG subscription models.
Operational Benefits
- Consolidates network, security and Layer 2, 3 and 4 data encryption functions on one device, avoiding stacks of separate appliances.
- Reduces hardware count, capital hardware investment, ongoing device-management overhead and power usage.
- Supports a consistent OMNIA experience and policy enforcement from small VENA branch deployments to large VECTA hub environments.
- Helps reduce power consumption and CO2 footprint in support of CSR and sustainability goals.
