Build hybrid cloud datacenters with Nuage Networks and Red Hat®
- Accelerate IT resource and services deployments leveraging a flexible and agile hybrid cloud
- Improve responsiveness of underlying infrastructure while reducing operating complexity and costs
- Extend the benefits of a hybrid cloud to all enterprise locations across the wide-area network, including remote branches
Nuage Networks has partnered with Red Hat to deliver SDN-based hybrid cloud solutions that maximize the effectiveness of the datacenter infrastructure by making them more agile, flexible and automated. The solution leverages Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack® Platform (RHEL OSP), an open and scalable platform for building public and private clouds.
With the Nuage Networks – Red Hat cloud solution you can:
- Streamline management operations and improve agility by abstracting application networking requirements from the physical network
- Respond quickly to changing cloud application requirements, with event-driven automatic service instantiation
- Ensure compliance with resource policies on a per-tenant and per-application basis, using simplified application terms to define Level 2-4 network requirements
- Improve server utilization and support cloud bursting and hybrid cloud services through seamless interoperability across multiple administrative domains
