Abstracting The Network To Power Cloud Service Levels

Today, Cloud applications are provisioned with virtual server resources mapped to a pool of physical servers. The reality is far more complex. The hardware layer consists of physical servers connected with a sophisticated network of devices and links shared by multiple applications. At the Cloud layer (Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)), there is no awareness and control of the network. As a result, there is a gap between what customers expect from IaaS and what they get in terms of security, availability and performance.

Lyatiss brings awareness of the network to Cloud application provisioning and management. It presents an abstraction of an on-demand network of virtual resources with end-to-end security and performance goals that can be specified by customers when they deploy their Cloud applications. Lyatiss enables the simplicity of abstraction of virtual infrastructures, hiding from DevOps the complexity of a mesh of network devices. It leverages the on-demand provisioning flexibility of the Cloud and the power of network virtualization and automation. CloudWeaver is the last missing link for a complete entreprise-grade Cloud system with service levels.
