+Virtual WAN provides many functionalities built into a single pane of glass such as Site/Site-to-site VPN connectivity, User/P2S connectivity, ExpressRoute connectivity, Virtual Network connectivity, VPN ExpressRoute Interconnectivity, VNET to VNET transitive connectivity, Centralized Routing, Azure firewall and firewall manager security, Monitoring, ExpressRoute Encryption and many other capabilities. You do not have to have all of these use cases to start using Virtual WAN. You can simply get started with just one use case. The Virtual WAN architecture is a hub and spoke architecture with scale and performance built-in where branches (VPN/SD-WAN devices), users (Azure VPN Clients, openVPN or IKEv2 Clients), ExpressRoute circuits, Virtual Networks serve as spokes to Virtual Hub(s). All hubs are connected in full mesh in a Standard Virtual WAN making it easy for the user to use the Microsoft backbone for any-to-any (any spoke) connectivity. For hub and spoke with SD-WAN/VPN devices, users can either manually set it up in the Azure Virtual WAN portal or use the Virtual WAN Partner CPE (SD-WAN/VPN) to set up connectivity to Azure. Virtual WAN partners provide automation for connectivity which is the ability to export the device info into Azure, download the Azure configuration and establish connectivity to the Azure Virtual WAN hub. For Point-to-site/User VPN connectivity, we support [Azure VPN client](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2117554), OpenVPN or IKEv2 client.
