Virtualized Services Assurance Platform

Overlay & Underlay Visibility & Correlation for Operationalizing SDN at Scale

http://www.nuagenetworks.net/products/virtualized-services-assurance-platform/

What We Are Announcing

Open clouds need open visibility for smooth operation

Growing build-out of private and hybrid clouds in key enterprise verticals

Growing adoption of flexible & open overlays for agility in DevOps mindset

Growing demand for freedom of choice in networking hardware (underlay)

Growing need for visibility and correlation between the overlays & underlay

Introducing Virtualized Services Assurance Platform (VSAP):

Visibility of service health across both the overlay & the underlay

Facilitates troubleshooting & remediation across multi-vendor environment

Topology discovery, Policy correlation, resource mapping, monitoring

Operational Peace of Mind

Service Correlation & visibility across every application, anywhere in your cloud

Nuage Networks VSP is removing yet another cloud networking constraint…

VSAP is in trials now with enterprises & cloud providers, available in the next quarter.

Open Network Approach

Buy my hardware… (Propagate closed systems)

Largely ignore it… (Use marketing machine)

Use standard protocols and open interfaces to

Solve the problem

The Solution: Principles

Branch Offices

MONITOR physical topology

CORRELATE physical & virtual topology

Virtualized Services Assurance Platform

Correlation Engine Aggregate virtual & physical topology Correlate services Analyze faults Provide remediation actions

Route Monitor Utilize standard routing protocols Peer with networks Discover topologies (OSPF, ISIS, iBGP, eBGP)

POLICY CORRELATION

• Mirrors Nuage VSP policy objects • Tracks dynamic lifecycle of virtual machines & services

MONITORING & TROUBLESHOOTING

• Historical events & alarm correlation in a dynamic environment • Maintain past events to identify root cause & impact analysis • Maintain virtual objects even when destroyed as historical data

OVERLAY & UNDERLAY CORRELATION

• Topology map of virtual objects associated with physical elements • Correlate events between the virtual and physical environments • Pinpoint problems in overlay & underlay with alarms, path monitoring

MULTI-VENDOR SUPPORT

• Standard protocols for underlay topology detection & path monitoring • Underlying core network can consist of any components

supporting standard protocols (OSPF, BPG, ISIS, SNMP)

Discovery of full network topology based on routing peers & logical links

Topology map of physical network elements

Identification of the underlay router and advertising router for a given prefix within the DC

VSAP Topology View

Path visualization for connectivity between virtual & physical endpoints

Statistics to monitor health of each network element

Display virtual objects associated with each router in the underlay

Graphical view of alarms and faults in the network

Alarm correlation for root cause analysis

Remedial action for expediting problem resolution

Upstream router port failure

VSAP Fault Correlation

Visual graph of all of the virtual

components in the data center

Across all Virtual Tunnel

Endpoints (VTEPs)

Nuage VRS software

Third party hardware VTEPs

VSAP Inventory

Route Monitor Discovers the underlay router

using BGP, OSPF, ISIS

Performs route analytics

to monitor the state of peering

Detects if a prefix is added

or removed from the network

SNMP Discovery of network elements

Collection of statistics for

interfaces on the network

elements

VSAP uses standard protocols to provide vendor-agnostic correlation between overlays & underlays

Multi-Vendor Network Element Support

Health Monitoring

Proactive Monitoring

Tools to test the state of the underlying network
