Description:

If you ve been investigating SDN solutions and are still left wondering how all of the virtual and physical pieces fit together, this week s podcast is for you. On today’s show, Arista Networks joins us as a sponsor to explore its CloudVision offering.

For many companies, the road to cloud networking and SDN still needs paving. Many solutions claim to address a broad array of challenges with legacy networking infrastructure. However, there are few solutions that address physical and virtual integration, network-wide automation, and improved network operations through visibility.

Even fewer are built as turnkey, open solutions intended for use in a mainstream network environment and designed for integration with a best-of-breed SDN ecosystem.

A closer look at current solutions shows that most approaches require specific network infrastructure upgrades or a steep learning curve for applying SDN concepts to the physical network. A paved path is needed that lets customers take on SDN with smaller steps and allows them to build towards larger deployments over time.

Enter Arista CloudVision, a turnkey approach to workload orchestration and workflow automation.

Building on Arista s success in building programmable and open software for the cloud with Arista EOS, CloudVision extends the EOS architecture to a network-wide perspective with the following key attributes:

  • Extends EOS as a network-wide service by taking per-switch state, aggregating it to provide a consolidated, network-wide view of the state
  • Enables cloud workload mobility by providing a single touch point for both 3rd party controllers and orchestration services
  • Provides turnkey workflow services, making it easier for a broad set of customers to enable automation within their environments

Tune into this podcast for the details, including:

  • Customer use cases and positioning
  • EOS evolution to CloudVision with a network-wide database
  • What is CloudVision?
  • How CloudVision fits into the broader SDN/controller market
  • Ecosystem Partner integration, including VMWare, Openstack and many others
  • Physical / Virtual integration solutions
  • Automating the provisioning process from a network-wide view
  • Config management through Configlets
  • Improving network change management
  • Network-wide rollback and upgrades
  • Scaling SDN controller integration to the physical network
  • VXLAN use cases
  • Snapshot views for pre- and post change control
  • Reducing maintenance windows through improved change control
  • Summary
