3. 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

4. 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

5. “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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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
