Virtual network functions in ONS 2.0 include routing, switching with Private VLAN, security policies, NAT, and DHCP. In addition, ONS 2.0 is introducing tech previews for DNS as a service and end to end data encryption.

- Earlier this year, PLUMgrid announced that Swisscom had selected its OpenStack Networking Suite as a foundational element of its cloud-based IT infrastructure. The company said its technology enables Swisscom to leverage existing physical infrastructure to build a secure multi-tenant virtual network with PLUMgrid’s Virtual Domains and reduce the provisioning time from weeks to seconds. The carrier has decided to use OpenStack as its core component for cloud virtualization orchestration.
- PLUMgrid is aa start-up based in Sunnyvale, California. The PLUMgrid Platform integrates security, operations and maintenance tools, and network visibility and analytics. It runs on existing standard-based x86 servers to deliver dynamic and scalable virtual data center networks.
