© Big Switch Networks 1 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 endusers. For traditional networking technologies, OpenStack represents a design challenge. By making all aspects of application deployment selfservice, 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 productiongrade 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 rootcause 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 Endtoend visibility and troubleshooting across virtual & physical workloads, with: Enhanced Test Path feature Security Group visibility Physical + Virtual statistics & analytics Validated L4L7 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.

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.
