Nuage Networks today introduced a module for its SDN overlay software to allow network operators to correlate faults in the network overlay and fabric underlay.
SDN overlays allow carriers to easily instantiate applications on private clouds, but there’s still an underlying network of switches and routers that require visibility and fault management. When there’s a problem in the underlay, operators need to know which applications break, what services are disconnected and which developers need to be notified, Nuage Networks CEO Sunil Khandekar told Light Reading.
