See Your OpenStack Network Like Never BeforePLUMgrid
PLUMgrid CloudApex is a SDN visualization and monitoring platform that works in conjunction with PLUMgrid ONS to display real-time status of physical and virtual resources in OpenStack clouds.
PLUMgrid CloudApex speeds up network deployment, simplifies everyday operations at scale and minimizes production downtime.
How to Quickly Implement a Secure Cloud for Government and Military | WebinarPLUMgrid
In this webinar see how Awnix meets your needs with its Secure Private Cloud products and services through a live demo and technical deep dive of common use cases.
As more OpenStack clouds move into production, the limits of scale and performance of the cloud need to be known as a pre-requisite to building a predictable operations plan. PLUMgrid ONS is based on a fully distributed architecture that is built for scale. Since forwarding decisions are distributed and made at each individual server, every new server added to the cloud increases the cloud’s forwarding capacity. This unique distributed architecture allows any OpenStack cloud built using the PLUMgrid Open Networking Suite to scale to tens of thousands of workloads across multiple racks. This joint PLUMgrid and Ixia session between will highlight the latest scale and performance numbers for PLUMgrid ONS. In addition, it will cover the various scale targets that were achieved, the testing methodology plus the Ixia IxChariot product used to measure them.
Monitoring Security Policies for Container and OpenStack CloudsPLUMgrid
Container and OpenStack clouds often co-exist in data centers. Monitoring both environments require views into the underlay and overlay infrastructure, but infrastructure monitoring alone is no longer sufficient and needs to be paired with security policy views as containers and microservices are constantly reshaping data center traffic and flow patterns. A visualization GUI that correlates containers and VMs with security policy views provide a powerful tool for any operations team to detect security flow violations in real-time. Enterprises and cloud providers are adopting visualization and monitoring platforms in addition to OpenStack Horizon to keep their infrastructure running with 100% uptime. New tools that help with proactive remediation of issues are being deployed to quickly bring back the system to healthy conditions.
OpenStack and Application Delivery: Joy and Pain of an Intricate RelationshipPLUMgrid
During this webinar F5 Networks and PLUMgrid will discuss and demonstrate how to build rich multi-tenant service offerings with a combination of in-kernel and appliance-based network functions.
You Can Build Your OpenStack and Consume it TooPLUMgrid
The power of the community is what makes open source initiatives extremely transformational—like OpenStack. On the other hand, enterprise users who are looking at adopting this solution need to go through a steep learning curve and deep transformation of their internal team structure. The power of OpenStack is actually greatly amplified by the ecosystem of vendors around it that look at important aspects like support and hardening as well as augmentation of specific aspects (e.g. scalability and performance) that are needed in production environments bringing the most value to users. Join Rackspace and PLUMgrid product specialists to learn how we jointly enable our Private Cloud enterprise users to consume OpenStack and Software Defined Networks (SDN) as ONE solution that brings comprehensive security, scalability and performance and a rich set of operational tools.
Docker Networking in OpenStack: What you need to know nowPLUMgrid
Learn how you bring secure, scalable, available and open software defined networking to Docker containers managed by OpenStack. This session will cover how Docker virtual networks function, how to plumb them into the virtual network fabric and reliably assign information such as IP addresses, virtual interfaces and more. In addition, this session will also cover how to securely wrap Docker containers using security policies and encryption.
