# MVE Deployment Scenarios

> This help topic describes deployment scenarios for Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE).

    display: 'block'
  }} />;

This topic describes many, but not all, of the deployment use cases with an SD-WAN partner and Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE).

For all use cases, replacing a single MVE with two MVEs improves network reliability by providing redundancy.

## Branch to branch

This deployment uses the Megaport private software-defined network (SDN) to reduce reliance on the internet and connect enterprise branch locations.

## Branch to cloud

This deployment extends the enterprise branch network to one or many cloud resources to enable one seamless network from branch to cloud.

## Branch to data center

This deployment connects the enterprise branch network to the enterprise data center footprint, covering more than 700 Megaport-enabled global data center locations.

## VPC to VPC

This carrier-neutral deployment connects multiple cloud regions, providers, or accounts for network interoperation, privately.
