Edgecore Networks and ADARA Partner to Deliver Industry-Leading High-Performance Networking SolutionsSAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ADARA Networks, a global software company in the cloud computing and SDN market, and Edgecore Networks, a leading provider of traditional and open network solutions for enterprises, data centers and TSPs (telecommunications service providers), today announced a technology integration partnership delivering a complete portfolio of industry-leading, high-performance SDN (software defined networking) and cloud solutions. With cloud deployments on the rise, and the growing preference for hybrid cloud as the operational model, the powerful combination of Edgecore hardware and ADARA software enables enterprises, TSPs and the open networking market to address critical cloud management, optimization and performance challenges. These challenges include the shortage of cloud and software defined systems expertise, hybrid cloud deployment, security and privacy issues, cloud cost management and optimization and the ability to deliver consistent service quality. Enabling resilient automated network infrastructure for cloud data centers Edgecore and ADARA's combined solution to address this challenge comprises:
ADARA's cloud management software fully automates all computing, storage and network operations. It customizes operations per network, per tenant, even per application and service. The ADARA software discovers, configures and controls the Edgecore merchant silicon switches which form the physical network at speeds up to 100Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), even as virtual network topologies change, eliminating the need for advanced expertise. Managing hybrid cloud adoption Edgecore and ADARA's combined solution to address this challenge comprises:
ADARA CloudFabric Cloud Management Platform and integrated Sky SDN Layer 0 to 7 Controller helps IT teams overcome the challenges of hybrid cloud adoption by enabling the fully automated creation of hybrid clouds by the private cloud administrator. Solving security and privacy issues Edgecore and ADARA offer the following solutions:
ADARA secure hardened Linux distribution network operating system, ADARA CloudFabric Cloud Platform with integrated authorization, authentication and identity services, including use of OpenStack Secrets, enable dynamic scans of images for VMs and containers at every point. ADARA also uses a rotating variable time-based encryption that is novel and unbroken. Additionally, ADARA Mobile Device software supports extending optional novel encryption to end-user devices to overcome the challenge of ensuring the privacy of end-users in cloud and SDN IoT. Managing and optimizing cloud spend ADARA Cloud Management enables policy-based/performance-based management, cost management and cost and operational optimizations through simple policies that are fully automated. ADARA's Layer 0-7 SDN Controller is integrated into a performance-based cloud management platform, so overcoming the challenge of cost optimization and management are built in for IaaS, PaaS, NaaS and SaaS. In addition to the OPEX reductions enabled by ADARA software, Edgecore's open network switches reduce CAPEX through cost optimized and open hardware designs. Edgecore switches are cost optimized through the use of merchant silicon, leveraging open-sourced designs contributed by Edgecore to the Open Compute Project, and through manufacturing cost efficiencies driven by the high volumes of Edgecore's hyperscale and telecom customers. Ensuring consistent service quality ADARA Cloud Management enables policy-based and performance-based automated management, ADARA Sky SDN Controller and ADARA Path Computation Engine enables novel SLAs which overcome the challenges of guaranteeing service quality, the time to create a new service, scale a service, optimize a service and automate traditional SLAs. "As the market demand for cloud continues to increase, high-performance private, public and hybrid cloud computing and networking solutions must operate at hyperscale to deliver effective performance in increasingly demanding computing environments," said Eric Johnson, ADARA CEO. "By combining our industry leading software with industry leading hardware, Edgecore and ADARA deliver a complete portfolio of high-performance SDN and cloud solutions that meet the security, performance and cost considerations of today's hybrid cloud environments." "As the leader in open network switching with a full range of OCP Accepted data center switches, edge switches, open modular chassis and access products, Edgecore understands the needs of our enterprise and telecom customers for more automated and manageable hybrid cloud infrastructures," said George Tchaparian, Edgecore Networks CEO. "ADARA's performance-based SDN solutions, combined with our 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE open switches, will meet those requirements and enable more organizations to realize the cost and operational benefits of open networking."
