CloudGenix AppFabric DevOps EcosystemDevelopment operations (DevOps) is the next evolution of I/T infrastructure management, coupling software development and development lifecycle practices with systems deployment and ongoing management. By introducing the agility and automation provided by software development, organizations that integrate a DevOps model into their core I/T management framework can dramatically reduce operational burden, enjoy lower cost, do more with less, and automate collection and remediation of conditions that would otherwise require manual intervention.

Business Challenges

Today’s I/T organizations are continually pressured to do more with less—few-

er resources, lower budgets—while providing a consistent or more demanding

level of service to the business. The traditional way of managing I/T infra-

structure is no longer acceptable given the organizational desire to increase

efficiency. Compounding the problem, technology systems are no longer

deployed de facto in wholly owned and operated data centers; rather, cloud

computing and software-as-a-service have emerged and proven their domi-

nance as today’s preferred method of deploying applications and services.

Introducing the CloudGenix AppFabric DevOps Ecosystem

In order to help I/T organizations streamline operations, simplify deploy-

ment and ongoing management, and improve agility, the CloudGenix Ap-

pFabric DevOps Ecosystem provides an API-centric suite of components

that allow DevOps to rapidly integrate AppFabric into their existing ap-

IMPROVE RESPONSE TIMES

I/T organizations are tasked with improving response times includ-ing resolution of issues that arise and root cause analysis

AUTOMATE THE INFRASTRUCTURE

competitive pressure drives the need to automate to quickly deploy new systems for capacity and functionality

REDUCE LABOR AND OPERATIONAL COST

budgets shifting from adminis-trative and personnel cost into additional systems and services to fuel the business

GAIN INSTANT VISIBILITY

businesses must adapt and change moment by moment and demand access to data that helps empower these decisaions

plications. Built from the ground up using user-accessible RESTful HTTPS

APIs, AppFabric can be fully programmed and have data extracted at each

layer of the system. This allows DevOps to integrate AppFabric awareness

into new and existing workflows and applications, improve agility, reduce

cost, and automate infrastructure management, monitoring, and operations.

Products

The CloudGenix AppFabric DevOps Ecosystem is a collection of integrated

products and technologies that help forward-thinking I/T organizations

with a DevOps practice to automate and optimize deployment, configura-

tion, management, and monitoring of their AppFabric SD-WAN. The prod-

ucts that form the portfolio include:

C L O U D G E N I X | D ATA S H E E T | D E V O P S E C O S Y S T E M | 2

AppFabric Controller API Platform—provides create, read, update, and delete API access to the entire AppFabric deployment, topol-ogy, policies, security, monitoring statistics, events, and alarms

API Documentation—outlines the syntax and semantics of each of the APIs available, including sample requests, sample code in each language, request structure, and response structure

Software Development Kits—libraries that can be easily integrated into your existing applications using package management systems including NuGet (C#), NPM (NodeJS), and PIP (Python)

Open Source Code Samples—learn how community members have integrated with CloudGenix SDKs and the API directly to streamline management and operations of their AppFabric deployment

Network Monitoring Protocols—integrate with existing legacy monitoring infrastructure using standard SNMP MIBs and NetFlow

Customer Use Cases

Some examples of customers that have integrated the CloudGenix AppFabric

DevOps Ecosystem include:

• A national retailer with thousands of sites successfully automated deployment and provisioning of their entire AppFabric network, resulting in several dozens of de-vices deployed weekly, with automated ongoing monitoring and management

• A high tech company that pioneered the Software as a Service category auto-mated collection and notification when WAN alarms and alerts were generated, helping to categorize service problems, more quickly resolve high priority cases, and automate incident handling

• A global retailer with hundreds of sites developed a bot for Slack, providing instant notification of alarms along with regularly-scheduled delivery of monitoring data, allowing administrators to issue Slack commands to enact network changes proac-tively and reactively

• A global managed service provider that couples AppFabric SD-WAN with Internet and MPLS connectivity built a custom network operations center and portal for customer access, giving real-time visibility into how their network and applications are performing, automating collection of relevant data when service tickets are cre-ated, and creating highly customized reports

Benefits

The CloudGenix AppFabric DevOps Ecosystem provides I/T and DevOps

with the following benefits:

Create Custom Dashboards—design and develop custom dash-boards that consolidate configuration and monitoring data from multiple systems including CloudGenix AppFabric to streamline management and monitoring

Streamline Operations and Make Faster Decisions—query con-figuration, monitoring data, and events to automate remediation of scenarios that impact the business and would otherwise be handled manually

Deploy Custom Workflows—create workflows that perform a series of tasks in an automated manner by designing logic appropriate to your business relying on data retrieved programmatically

Monitor Your Network Anywhere—design and deploy applications anywhere in the world on practically any device that take advan-tage of real-time or historical AppFabric data to make decisions or perform actions

Provide Broad Language Support—designed to support multiple front-end and back-end frameworks and languages, including Py-thon, NodeJS, C#, and Java

ABOUT CLOUDGENIXCloudGenix provides a software-defined WAN solution with AppFabric technology that enables you to build a global WAN based

on business policies for application performance, compliance, and security, across all sites and users. Unlike router-based solutions,

CloudGenix AppFabric allows you to define top-down global policies based on business intent rather than fragmented bottoms-up

configuration changes based on technical implementation. With CloudGenix, you can easily integrate heterogeneous WAN connections

for any site, take advantage of cloud and SaaS applications, improve visibility for app performance and SLAs, and dramatically simplify

network operations.
