Legacy Networks Can’t Meet Cloud Expectations

Application Indifferent

Rigid, PhysicalNetworks

ManualManagement

Impossible to identify applications and user behaviors and meet diverse SLAs

Architected for one tenant, user type and location type with device-dependent provisioning inhibiting scale and lacking programmability

Slow to respond to new application requirements and

hampered by manual errors


5

Delivering New Cloud Network Functionality

Introducing Virtual Application Networks

Extend the cloud from the data center to user in campus and branch locations

Tune the physical network to meet delivery requirements of applications

Reduce time to deploy cloud applications from weeks to minutes

Virtual Application Networks for Cloud Deliver

Application Characterization

Network Virtualization

AutomatedOrchestration

Characterize the application to create consistency, reliability & repeatability across the entire network infrastructure

Virtualize & program the infrastructure to create multitenant, on-demand, topology & device-independent provisioning

Orchestrate based on templates, including user SLA and policy, to enable

dynamic application delivery

Virtual Application Network ComponentsPhase-1 Key Components

Existing IMC function used to set/monitor virtual switch features in the virtual machine manager. vSwitchManager

Rapid provisioning and error-free configuration to manage the connection between VMs and the required physical and virtual network policies

VAN Policy Engine

Repeatability to design connections based on virtual machine and application requirements, including QoS policies, ACLs, and virtual network configuration details

VAN Designer

Hypervisor integration (currently VMware) enabling system administrators to map connection types to virtual machinesVANPlug in

VANAPI

Assured interoperability with Cloud orchestration through RESTful APIs, enabling external access to VAN functions from cloud and network orchestration frameworks

Virtual Switch which communicates with vSwitch Manager and VAN plug-in to coordinate policy enforcementvSwitch/HP open vSwitch

Delivering New Applications in Minutes versus Weeks

Enable Cloud with Virtual Application Networks

Tune network to the application delivery requirements

Virtualize the network end to end, from application to user

Enable IT to manage the network with policies rather than CLI, scripts

Single pane-of-glass management for the physical and virtual network

Ensure choice with open, standards-based approach
