If you are going to use or support software defined network services using network slicing--at edge data centers or hyperscale data centers, you need a new orchestration capability and new routers or switches.
The Kaloom Software Defined Fabric is a software solution and orchestration function for networking white boxes in a software defined network context.
It promises a performance enhancement of two times; an increase in per-server throughput of seven times and a reduction in latency between virtual machines in the same rack of five to 10 times.
Versions for hyperscale and edge data centers are supported. As a programmable data center fabric, the solution offers integrated routing and switching, plus P4 platform tools to support programmers.
The Kaloom SDF supports software defined networks and network slicing, and can run several virtual data-centers with different network services, Kaloom says.
“Kaloom SDF features advanced self-forming and self-discovery capabilities, zero touch provisioning (ZTP) of the virtual networking and virtual components, and automated software upgrades, thus minimizing human intervention and errors while saving time and effort,” the company says.
Network provisioning time is reduced from several days to minutes and is automatically updated during runtime, the company says.
A physical data center can be partitioned into multiple independent and fully isolated virtual data centers (vDCs).
Each vDC operates with its own Virtual Fabric (vFabric), which can host millions of IPv4 or IPv6 based tenant networks.
Additional compute and storage resources can be dynamically assigned or removed from a vDC, thus creating a flexible and elastic pool of network resources suitable for network slicing, Kaloom says.
Kaloom SDF is a pre-tested and certified software solution for networking white boxes from Accton and Delta.
