OpenStack is a combination of open source tools (known as projects) that use pooled virtual resources to build             Hybrid Cloud
and manage private and public clouds. Six of these projects handle the core cloud-computing services of
compute, networking, storage, identity, and image services, while more than a dozen optional projects can be

bundled together to create unique, deployable clouds.
Think about it like this. In virtualization, resources such as storage, CPU, and RAM are abstracted from a
variety of vendor-specific programs and split by a hypervisor before being distributed as needed. OpenStack
uses a consistent set of application programming interfaces (APIs) to abstract those virtual resources 1 step
further into discrete pools used to power standard cloud computing tools that administrators and users interact
with directly.

Infinitely scalable self-healing iSCSI storage
Ceph-based Scale-Out iSCSI SAN that is easy to set up and manage

Description                                                                                                                                            Category:
Backed by Toshiba’s High-Capacity enterprise 10TB disks, Starline‘s integrated Scale-Out iSCSI SAN solution takes advantage of
the modern technologies that power many cloud deployments. Starline engineers have fine-tuned the server hardware to work
                                                                                                                                                Storage & Big Data
perfectly with PetaSAN, a robust, Open Source, solution based on Ceph. The result is an agile iSCSI SAN solution with great data
resilience and self-healing. PetaSAN is infinitely scalable and allows adding storage nodes without interruption.                                       Partners:
Combined with Toshiba’s robust SAS HDDs, ARECA’s proven 12G HBAs and Cavium’s fast RDMA 10Gbe Ethernet adapters,
PetaSAN provides 220TB of highly available clustered iSCSI disks. These multi-path iSCSI disks provide fast I/O as well as link
redundancy and can be identified by virtual IP addresses.
In the event of a node failure, these virtual IPs can be dynamically moved to another cluster node in a client-transparent manner.
That is one of the elegant features of PetaSAN. The underlying Ceph software maps the iSCSI drives to multiple physical drives in
the cluster providing high data resilience. Rounding out the solution is a concise GUI that offers all the necessary features for
flexible configuration and ease of management. Starline has moreover integrated an S3 gateway via the command line that is to
be integrated into the GUI in the future. iSCSI Ceph has never been easier to deploy and manage.

Innovo Cloud offers a highly available object storage based on S3 and SWIFT protocols. The basis for Innovo‘s
object storage is the underlying OpenStack platform with a distributed CEPH storage cluster.
The objects are distributed and replicated across multiple storage devices on the server side. CEPH ensures the
replication and the integrity of the records. If a server or a hard drive is damaged, the affected records are replicated
to available servers and the desired level of replication will be automatically restored.
Furthermore, the data will be additionally replicated to another data centers on a dedicated storage cluster and can
be used from there in a disaster situation.

DNS, DHCP & IP Address Management for OpenStack

Description                                                                                                                            Category:
Virtual and private clouds provide undeniable benefits in scalability, agility, and cost control for distributed network       Network & Cyber Security
needs. However, conventional network management tools undermine those advantages. For example, configuring
DNS and IP addresses are largely performed manually using segmented point solutions. These tools are not
designed to support elastic scalability. Nor can they provide the control, visibility, reliability, and consistency your               Partners:
organization demands.
As part of their Virtualized Carrier Core Application Platform (VCCAP), Dimension Data has implemented Infoblox
DDI for Virtualization and Private Cloud. Actionable Network Intelligence allows us to control DNS, DHCP, and IPAM
for complex distributed virtual and cloud-based environments centrally, flexibly, and efficiently. This allows VCCAP
to support complex multi-platform workloads with confidence and maximize the full potential of our virtualization
deployment strategy for Network Function Virtualization and Software-Defined Networks.

Virtual CPE – CPE in the Cloud

Description                                                                                                                                     Category:
The current architecture of CPE like eRouters and the Wi-Fi gateways on the customer premise presents a number of challenges
for operators, because an eRouter is a NAT function, behind the operator can’t see or influence the behavior of delivering
                                                                                                                                         Network & Cyber Security
services.
A new architecture is needed to move the IP network logic or service logic that is locked in the CPE’s Wi-Fi access point/Router to             Partners:
the service aware edge cloud.
Benu Networks’ Virtual Service Edge (VSE) platform achieves this by virtualizing the eRouter function in a multi-tenant
virtualization platform that has been designed to aggregate large scale virtual CPE/routers.
The SDN/NFV approach separates the Data Plane Function from the Control Plane Function to virtualize CPE services. Open
programmable interfaces are leveraged from the Control Plane toward the Cloud and OSS/BSS systems. The VSE is based on an
SDN implementation to virtualize CPE, addressing scale and service agility for Network Operators delivering Cloud-based
managed services for Residential and B2B customer segments.
