Virtual Network Visibility Improving But Still Not Meeting All Expectations
Slide 5 © 2012 Enterprise Management Associates, Inc.
Sure - we’re all set
Not bad, but we could always use more/richer insight
We’ve got some visibility, but it’s not nearly enough
This is a major gap/problem

SDN and the Virtual Data Center
Businesses want the promise of dynamic, on-demand cloud based IT Problem: Network and VM layers are too intertwined
• Provisioning of networks and network services cumbersome and slow• VM and network configurations must be coordinated – shared IP address domains• Changes to shared network services have unintended consequences
Solution: Fully virtualized data center (VDC)• Completely separate VM and network configuration – isolated IP address domains• Create virtual overlay networks for each virtual data center• Virtualize all network services within a VDC

VXLAN – The Foundation of the Virtual Datacenter
VXLAN VXLAN tunnels traffic over the
physical network Separates virtualization and network
layers Accelerates provisioning of networks
and network services Completely isolates virtual workloads Enables vMotion across clusters

VXLAN Challenges – Loss of Network Visibility & Control
Total loss of visibility of overlay network – all traffic is now UDP-tunneled
Virtualization layer controls all tunnel and overlay network setup/tear down
Impossible to isolate overlay traffic from physical network
Different overlay networks can have overlapping address spaces
UDP Tunnel

Cascade is the Only Solution to Provide VXLAN Visibility
This is the depth of detail other NPM solutions can see without VXLAN visibility
Cascade can provide details into • Top applications• How VMs converse• How virtual tunnel endpoints
(VTEPs) interact• Top virtual networks• And more…
