The result is comprehensive and automated problem resolution from a single-pane-of-glass. Cruz Monitoring & Management. NMS, monitoring & analytics -- health, NPM, traffic, log, change. Automation & configuration management -- compliance, security, orchestration, provisioning, patch, update, configuration, access control. Automated deployment -- auto-deploy, ZTP, remote deploy. Deployments available on-premise and from the cloud.

Cruz Fabric Controller offers true software-defined networking and control to orchestrate fabrics in your local or remote data center, remote edges, and remote sites. With a single-pane-of-glass, you can deploy and update fabrics, manage, monitor, maintain fabrics, and automate operations.

Trustgrid is the SD-WAN for application providers. The Trustgrid platform uniquely addresses the needs of SaaS application providers who rely on remote systems. By combining an SD-WAN 2.0, edge computing, and zero trust remote access into a single platform we allow software providers to manage and support distributed application environments from the cloud to the edge. With the Trustgrid platform you can: • Build cloud to on-premise networks at scale • Manage and support 100s of networks from a single pane of glass • Control on-premise apps and appliances as if they were in the cloud • Run and support Docker containers in any cloud or on-premise • Provide your support teams secure access to edge application environments Simplify connectivity, enhance security, and guarantee network availability with Trustgrid.

DxOdyssey is lightweight software built on patented technology that enables you to create highly available application-level micro-tunnels across any mix of locations and platforms. And it does so more easily, more securely, and more discreetly than any other solution on the market. Using DxOdyssey puts you on a path to zero trust security and helps networking and security admins secure multi-site & multi-cloud operations. The network perimeter has evolved. And DxOdyssey’s unVPN technology is designed with this in mind. Old VPN and direct link approaches are cumbersome to maintain and open up the entire network to lateral movement. DxOdyssey takes a more secure approach, giving users app-level access rather than network-level access, reducing attack surface. And it does all of this with the most secure and performant approach to create a Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) to grant connectivity to distributed apps and clients running across multiple sites, clouds, and domains.

MidoNet is an Apache licensed production grade network virtualization software for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds. MidoNet decouples your IaaS cloud from your network hardware, creating an intelligent software abstraction layer between your end hosts and your physical network. This network abstraction layer allows the cloud operator to move what has traditionally been hardware-based network appliances into a software-based multi-tenant virtual domain. MidoNet brings production-grade distributed overlay networking to OpenStack. Features such as reduced complexity of physical network, high availability (any server, any network service, any time), scalability through hierarchy, reduced protocols, otimized network traffic with minimal overhead, vastly improved fault tolerance.
