Nuage Networks containers for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13 integration with Nuage Virtualized Services Platform (VSP)
- Nuage Networks Virtualized Services Platform
- Nuage Networks VCS Telco Cloud architecture is based on Nuage Networks Virtualized Services Platform (VSP). VSP is a network automation platform enabling a complete range of SDN, SD WAN, and cloud solutions. VSP provides advanced network automation across networks and clouds of all sizes and architectures from Telco Cloud data center private clouds to large enterprise wide area networks (WANs) to some of the largest public clouds in the world.
- Virtual Routing and Switching
- Virtual Routing and Switching (VRS) is a software module that is installed in the hypervisor layer for VMs or as part of a container structure in virtualized server environments. It creates and manages the virtual endpoints (i.e. VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP)) that are used for the virtual “overlay” tunnels between the workloads (e.g. VMs and containers) within a prescribed overlay VPN. These tunnels are created by adding a VXLAN encapsulation to the original Ethernet frame from designated traffic allowing it to be directly routable to other VMs or containers within that overlay VPN.
- Programmable policy and analytics engine
- The Virtualized Services Directory (VSD) is a programmable policy and analytics engine. It provides a flexible and hierarchical network policy framework that enables IT administrators to define and enforce network resource policies in an intuitive and user-friendly manner. VSD contains a multi-tenanted service directory that supports role-based administration of users, compute and network resources. For service assurance, VSD allows the definition of sophisticated statistics rules such as collection frequencies, rolling averages and samples, as well as Threshold Crossing Alerts (TCAs). When a TCA occurs, it will trigger an event that can be exported to external systems. Statistics are aggregated over hours, days and months and stored to facilitate data mining and performance reporting. VSD offers all functionality via Restful API allowing third party management and orchestration systems full secure access. VSD is deployed in a cluster solution to drive resiliency.
