The application of HP SDN, you should know

Oct. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- HP is the first to add OpenFlow friendly switch suppliers, and, in this new product, the company will switch number increased from 16 to 25. The company will also HP 3800 switch productsto add OpenFlow support to the queue, the queue already contains 8200, 5400 and 3500 series switches. HP senior vice president Saar Gillai said, by the end of the year, HP willOpenFlow support extended to the whole exchange product portfolio.

HP virtual application network SDN controller will not only as a pure software for sale, will also serve as the integrated equipment HP Proliant server based on hardware sales. Gillai said, the OpenFlow controller is based on HP intellectual property, but there are also some open source code.

The controller of the north to the API is representational state transfer (REST) based on theframework, it is the place where the HP SDN solutions really out of the ordinary. "On the SDN application tier, customers can be applied to the business logic network," HP senior vice president and general manager Bethany Mayer said the network ", this controller is very powerful, because it provides a single point of control to modify the forwarding path, in the switch at the same time, it also push customers to build applications they need to to solve a particular business problem they are trying to solve."

Early HP SDN application

Three Web Services Application HP released SDN products let HP is further distinguished from now on the market of commercial products. HP is similar to Nicira Networks in thevirtual network application service cloud data center operation of its own (recently acquired by Vmware), network virtualization product Big Switch Networks and Midokura display. It can realize the cloud network automation, multi tenant and public - Private Cloud integration(through the application of construction of HP OpenFlow on the controller).

For the application of load balancing and the importance of HBO, distributed intrusion detection application distributed Swiss research center established Gillai said: "historically,when you do involve some complexity (such as the view and view the network data packetsare doing), you must develop a special hardware."

"SDN security application may help you to check the DNS query and make sure you don'tclick any malicious web site. When a user sends a different DNS requests, you don't need to deploy a device to view these requests, the switch can intercept them, and send them to the controller.

Then, the controller can run them in HP TippingPoint IDS database, to ensure that the site is not malicious. In the implementation of the entire process, you don't need to add any new hardware."

HP SDN: not only the data center solution

When it comes to solve problems for enterprises, the SDN community has focused on thedata center. Gartner Skorupa think, although brought from server virtualization and cloudnetwork challenges, it seems to be perfectly logical and reasonable, but the scope is toonarrow. HP Networking also realized this point.

"The real problem is not just the network configuration in the data center," Skorupa said, "in the campus environment, add, move and change are the major problems. From a moregeneral point of view, you should ensure that the client port until the servers are deployed to the correct policy, and this is clearly the leading field of hp."

HP SDN solution "is the terminal to terminal, rather than just data center solutions," HPMayer said, "it involves from the data center to the campus and the branches, if you need it, it can even across a wide area network."
