PCCW Global has selected CPLANE NETWORKS’ OpenStack Product Suite to provide its worldwide Multi-Site and Multi-Tenant Networking and Lifecycle Service Orchestration for components of its distributed cloud offering.
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.
