OpenStack Data Centers Automating IAAS Clouds with Unified P+V SDN Fabrics OpenStack offers one of the simplest ways to deploy private clouds that enable rapid, elastic and massively scalable service deployment for end-‐users. For traditional networking technologies, OpenStack represents a design challenge. By making all aspects of application deployment self-‐service, the network has to be a pliable substrate on top of which projects can be rapidly provisioned, can grow, can shrink and can be removed. The traditional, statically configured network—a ‘plumbing mindset’—is not an option.
Big Cloud Fabric delivers the industry’s first unified Physical + Virtual SDN fabric – a highly resilient and automated networking solution for OpenStack data centers. Big Switch’s Switch Light software is deployed on open networking switches (Switch Light OS) as well as on virtualized KVM servers (Switch Light Virtual). Its OpenStack Neutron plugin for L2+L3 networking provides resiliency necessary for production-‐grade OpenStack deployments. The Big Cloud Fabric Controller acts as the single pane for provisioning, troubleshooting, visibility and analytics of the entire physical and virtual network environment.
To enable rapid application deployment, simplify operational workflows and provide immediate root-‐cause analysis when application performance issues arise, the Big Cloud Fabric controller supports the following salient features:
§ Distributed L2 isolations and L3 routing within BCF
§ Distributed NAT (Floating IP & PAT) on Switch Light Virtual
§ End-‐to-‐end visibility and troubleshooting across virtual & physical workloads, with:
§ Enhanced Test Path feature
§ Security Group visibility
§ Physical + Virtual statistics & analytics
§ Validated L4-‐L7 Services Integration (LBaaS, FWaaS)
§ Supported deployment uses cases include OpenStack Private Clouds, VDI, Big Data and Storage Pods and NFV.
Big Cloud Fabric supports all major distributions of OpenStack including those from Red Hat, Mirantis, Canonical and RDO.
