Best Software-Defined Networking Solutions for Cloud

CruzOC is a scalable multi-vendor network management and IT operations tool for robust yet easy-to-use netops. Key features of CruzOC’s integrated and automated management include performance monitoring, configuration management, and lifecycle management for 1000s of vendors and converging technologies. With CruzOC, administrators have implicit automation to control their data center operations and critical resources, improve network and service quality, accelerate network and service deployments, and lower operating costs. 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.

ONAP is a comprehensive platform for orchestration, management, and automation of network and edge computing services for network operators, cloud providers, and enterprises. Real-time, policy-driven orchestration and automation of physical and virtual network functions enables rapid automation of new services and complete lifecycle management critical for 5G and next-generation networks. The Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) Project brings together top global carriers and vendors with the goal of allowing end users to automate, design, orchestrate and manage services and virtual functions. ONAP unites two major open networking and orchestration projects, open source ECOMP and the Open Orchestrator Project (OPEN-O), with the mission of creating a unified architecture and implementation and supporting collaboration across the open source community. The ONAP Project is a Linux Foundation project.

Verge-OS is the first and only operating system that abstracts the functions of networking, compute (hypervisor), and storage from commodity bare metal hardware to create virtual data centers. Where our competitors virtualize machines, we virtualize entire data centers. Everything included. One license. One simple and intuitive pane of glass to manage it all. Verge-OS is a full-featured Software Defined Networking platform complete with a fully integrated firewall. Verge-OS abstracts the entire data center from the underlying hardware and integrates all of these raw resources into the hypervisor. Verge-OS utilizes RAIN architecture in its vSAN to provide storage that is more distributed, shareable, and scalable. erge-OS replaces the software and licenses associated with your hypervisor, SAN, NAS, firewall, disaster recovery, backup, orchestration, system management and logging tools, and eliminates proprietary hardware maintenance contracts.
