gitex2013: automate your datacenter by virtualizing your network
DESCRIPTION
Where are those communication applications and your data and are they secured? Virtualizing the network is a must for the Datacenter. With the POD architecture you minimize cost and keep huge flexibility. With VMM and the 0 network latency you maximize the Datacenter usage and reduce delay as well as cost of operation. If you have bandwidth intense needs, the SDN architecture is a must for you.TRANSCRIPT

THIS IS NOT DESIGNED FOR THE FUTURE OF VIRTUALIZATION!
NO CONSOLIDATED VIEW FOR THE NETWORK & FOR THE VMs
HIGH LATENCY BETWEEN VMs
SO HOW DO WE SOLVE THIS
NETWORK DILEMMA?
BUILD A BIGGER CORE SWITCH?
NO! $$$$$
HOW ABOUT ADDING MORE LAYERS?
NO! $$$$$

“NEWER SMALL FORM FACTOR CORE DEVICES can enable network managers to reduce capital costs by 30% to 70%, and
save 30% or more on operations expenses, COMPARED WITH CHASSIS-
BASED SWITCHES”

DC NETWORK AND APPLICATIONS ARE STILL IN DIFFERENT SILOS
•DC networks have very little awareness of the applications that are generating traffic
•Conversely, the virtual application control systems are unaware of the conditions prevailing within the network
