Streamline cloud agility by automating
core network services
Tim Rooney – Product Management Director
Core network services
• IP inventory
– Accurate repository to eliminate duplicate assignments
• IP subnet management
– Adequate IP address space allocation for VMs
• Individual IP address management
– Unique IP address assignment and tracking
• DNS information synch
– VM/VNF reachability via hostname in DNS

Impacts of mismanagement
• Inability to provision VMs/VNFs on the network
– Address depletion with full subnets
• Suboptimal IP address space utilization
– Misalignment of capacity to needs
• VM/VNF unreachable via IP
– Erroneous duplicate assignment of IP address
• VM/VNF unreachable via DNS
– DNS not updated with hostname-IP address assignment
• Wasted address space reduces capacity
– IP addresses not freed up when VM/VNF de-instantiated
– Free addresses go unused

IP capacity management

•
IP discovery
Thresholds and alerts on subnet utilization prevent depletion
Subnet management
– Simple one-click allocation to supplement capacity
– Split/join if needed to add/reduce capacity as necessary
•
Individual IP management
– Orchestrator plug-in to assign IP upon VM/VNF instantiation (and vice versa)
– Centralized IP assignment repository eliminates duplicates (unless intended)
•
DNS management
– Automated DNS update upon IP assignment or free-up
– Aligns name reachability with IP assignment status
