Network Connectivity in a Hybrid OpenStack Cloud

This session will discuss considerations for setting up and using a site-to-site (network-to-network) VPN connection from your on-premise datacenter that is running OpenStack Juno to an off-premise private cloud environment, running on OpenStack Icehouse. Also we’ll describe the openstack control plane network traffic and discuss the traffic that flows across the VPN connection. We’ll also… Continue reading Network Connectivity in a Hybrid OpenStack Cloud

Running Real Telco Applications on Top of an NFV Platform – Opportunities and Challenges

NFV becomes real with the migration of actual VNFs into the cloud. In this session, we will discuss the opportunities and added value in running a sample suite of applications – specifically EPC – on top on an NFV platform using Openstack. The inherent flexibility of NFV allows for operational efficiencies such as dynamic creation… Continue reading Running Real Telco Applications on Top of an NFV Platform – Opportunities and Challenges

Testing The Limits of Cloud Networks

As more OpenStack clouds move into production, the limits of scale and performance of the cloud need to be known as a pre-requisite to building a predictable operations plan. PLUMgrid ONS is based on a fully distributed architecture that is built for scale. Since forwarding decisions are distributed and made at each individual server, every… Continue reading Testing The Limits of Cloud Networks
