Cloud Infrastructure TrendsInfrastructure Complexity Large-scale Distributed nature New products and technology

First Line of Defense Operations team to provide first-line of

defense Lacks deep expertise on products and

technology

• Impeded lifecycle operations• Hard to spot issues• Manual correlation and monitoring

Lack of Correlation Physical and Virtual layer Tools designed for each layer Lack of cross-layer

correlation and visibility


From Physical to Virtual Networks

Physical Network Infrastructure

• QoS, Bandwidth & Latency • Multicast• Capacity• Connectivity

Virtual Network Infrastructure

• On-Demand & Multi Tenant• Automated & Self Service• Virtual Domains• Rich set of Network Functions• Secure


“Overlay-based” Networking Model

• Multi-tenancy achieved by “overlaying” MAC-in-IP ‘Tunnels’ onto the physical switch fabric (underlay, transport network)

• Encapsulation header (VXLAN, NVGRE, STT) convey tenant network ID to enable full isolation and overlapping IP Address spaces support

• Software layers to implement routing / switching operations within and across tenant networks


• Text heavy, rows of data• Individual components• Weak virtual & physical view• Not intuitive• Limited accuracy • Not real-time data

Traditional tools won’t cut it
