Propelled by increasing complex networks, mounting network infrastructures, and evolving hybrid clouds, SDN has never before experienced such a stimulating period of growth and expansion. SDN is helping IT managers to gain centralized view of entire network, thereby furnishing benefits such as guaranteed content delivery, traffic programmability, network automation, and granular security. “Despite proliferation in SDN space, the lack of proper coordination between programmable network and physical network impedes an organization’s progress,” delineates Sunil Khandekar, Founder and CEO, Nuage Networks. Based in Mountain View, CA, the company brings a unique combination of ground breaking technologies and unmatched networking expertise to deliver massively scalable SDN solutions. “Our Virtualized Services Assurance Platform (VSAP) facilitates visualizing the complete network by providing ideal correlation between SDN overlays and the underlying physical IP network infrastructure,” says Khandekar. The VSAP’s actionable, significant, and precise information on operational status of open virtual infrastructure results in firms getting profits through improved network flexibility, dynamic traffic flow, and decreased latency.

VSAP works by creating a topology map of virtual objects associated with the physical elements in network. The map conducts systematic analysis of network and thus enables making logical connections among virtual network policies and physical network topology. This facilitates organizations to deeply monitor the network status through impeccable troubleshooting and fault corrections. “Our modular platform acts as a comprehensive solution for clients by removing every network constraint that limits enterprises from fully embracing the power of SDN technology,” explains Khandekar. Additionally, VSAP supports diverse range of protocols such as SNMP, ISIS, BGP, and OSPF that allow enterprises to serve multiple vendors.Reflecting complete confidence over company’s robust platform, Khandekar expresses, “The viable features of VSAP such as—tight coupling between overlays and underlays, root-cause identification, impact analysis, and path monitoring make our solution absolutely dynamic.”

Alternatively, Nuage Networks bridges the gap between network needs and industry demands by offering Virtualized Network Services (VNS). “There is little cohesion within the networking environment that supports enterprises,” points o ut K handekar.
