Cloud Infrastructure Trends Infrastructure Complexity Large-scale Distributed nature New products and technology Lack of Correlation Physical and Virtual layer Tools designed for each layer Lack of cross-layer correlation and visibility Impeded lifecycle operations Hard to spot issues Manual correlation and monitoring First Line of Defense Operations team to provide first-line of defense Lacks deep expertise on products and technology

From Physical to Virtual Networks Virtual Network Infrastructure On-Demand & Multi Tenant Automated & Self Service Virtual Domains Rich set of Network Functions Secure Physical Network Infrastructure QoS, Bandwidth & Latency Multicast Capacity Connectivity

“Overlay-based” Networking Model Multi-tenancy achieved by “overlaying” MAC-in-IP ‘Tunnels’ onto the physical switch fabric (underlay, transport network) Encapsulation header (VXLAN, NVGRE, STT) convey tenant network ID to enable full isolation and overlapping IP Address spaces support Software layers to implement routing / switching operations within and across tenant networks

PLUMgrid – Comprehensive Networking Offering Extensive software-only SDN and NFV solution for OpenStack® Clouds Virtual networks provisioned by users Operational tools with proactive visibility & analytics (powered by CloudApex) Security & Compliance Support with built-in isolation, micro-segmentation via Virtual Domains & BYO service Scalable, distributed & highly available architecture enables Production Deployments

Traditional tools won’t cut it Text heavy, rows of data Individual components Weak virtual & physical view Not intuitive Limited accuracy Not real-time data

Configurable and Extensible PLUMgrid CloudApexTM Cloud Visualization platform displaying real-time status of virtual and physical resources in an private data center environment Zero Day Operations Bridges gap in expertise in Enterprises for private cloud environments Problem Isolation Effectively pinpoints issues across virtual/physical infrastructure Configurable and Extensible From PLUMgrid, to cloud and 3rd party components
