SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CPLANE NETWORKS, a leader of cloud service orchestration, today announced that PCCW Global has selected CPLANE’s OpenStack Product Suite to provide its worldwide Multi-Site and Multi-Tenant Networking and Lifecycle Service Orchestration for components of its distributed cloud offering. Showcased at the Metro Ethernet Forum GEN15 show in Dallas, PCCW Global’s Inter-Domain Cloud Federation solution allows customers to quickly and easily build clouds that span multiple sites using a self-service interface. The customer can continue to adjust their compute, storage, and network connectivity configuration to meet dynamic business and operational demands across multiple continents.
CPLANE’s Dynamic Virtual Networks – Data Center (DVNd) product provides a scalable solution for OpenStack SDN Networking where high-performance virtual machine communication, operational ease of use, service assurance, and seamless integration across multi-site and worldwide OpenStack deployments are required.
CPLANE’s Multi-Site Manager (MSM) consolidates multiple requests from PCCW Global’s customer portal and OSS/BSS environments while simultaneously orchestrating OpenStack cloud provisioning across multiple sites. MSM then creates a single cloud image by automatically provisioning an Overlay Gateway Router at each site to provide secure connectivity across the wide area network.
“A crucial aspect of multi-site cloud orchestration is assuring the creation of a single view of the customer. DVNd provides seamless network integration across OpenStack networks instances and helps extend them to other cloud-based service providers. MSM federates the customer image across all sites, and then synchronizes and orchestrates the service requests from the various front-end systems. CPLANE’s rich northbound API services, combined with the transactional integrity and operational visibility of our carrier-grade service orchestration platform, ensure that all OpenStack service requests are completed quickly and reliably across multiple sites,” said John Casey, CTO, CPLANE NETWORKS.
“Our customers need new levels of workload agility and mobility for their next generation distributed applications,” said Bret Rehart, CNO, PCCW Global. “Our strategy is to provide an on-demand capability for network and cloud that allows our customers to specify how and where their application resources are allocated, and then automatically adjusts based on policies and service level commitments. Achieving this with traditional, manual, service configuration solutions would be impossible. CPLANE NETWORKS delivers the automated OpenStack provisioning and service integrity that allows us to provide our on-demand cloud service model at global scale.”
“Multi-site, federated clouds are quickly becoming the new norm for geographic workload placement and load balancing, business continuity, data replication and distributed applications,” said Jennifer Pigg Clark, Vice President, 451 Research. “A key aspect of the federation is the tight OSS/BSS integration and seamless orchestration of compute, storage and networking services across multiple sites to create a single, customer-centric cloud image. Until now this has been a missing element of OpenStack.”
“CPLANE is excited to work with an innovative global service provider such as PCCW Global to tackle this forward-leaning challenge of orchestrating OpenStack and LAN networking services across multiple data centers,” said Brandon Williams, CEO, CPLANE NETWORKS.
