BROCADEVYATTA vROUTERFOR CLOUD COMPUTING

Control Security, Connectivity, andCompliance in the Cloud

The Brocade ® Vyatta ® vRouter deliversadvanced network security and connectivityfunctionality in a cloud-ready, virtualizationoptimized, software appliance. Thison-demand software approach to cloudsecurity offers cloud providers and enterprisesthe unique ability to easily provision, deploy,secure and manage at networks as well ascomplex n-tier networks. Much more than asimple gateway or rewall solution, the Brocade

Vyatta vRouter offers enterprise-classstateful rewall, IPsec VPN, SSL-basedOpenVPN, secure web ltering, dynamicrouting, and more to simply enable percustomer or per server security and connectivity.

As cloud moves from vision to reality,networking quickly moves to the front as amajor impediment to meeting the corerequirements. The reason is simple:traditional edge networking has not beenmodernized the way server and storageinfrastructure has been over the pastdecade. In order to deliver on the businessbene ts of cloud computing, the networkingfunction must evolve to enable best

practices in effective cloud design (seeTable 1).

THE BROCADE VYATTA vROUTERThe Brocade Vyatta vRouter is a scalable,integrated, enterprise-class networkingsolution that delivers advanced routingand network security functionality forphysical, virtual, and cloud networkingenvironments. This software-basednetworking and security solution includesdynamic routing, stateful rewall, VPN,threat protection, traf c managementand more in a package that is optimizedto take advantage of multicore x86processing power, common hypervisorplatforms, and emerging cloudarchitectures. All features are con guredthrough a familiar, networking-centricCLI, web-based GUI or third partymanagement systems using theREST-based Remote Access API.

SECURE MULTITENANT XaaS CLOUDA successful multitenant service deliverymodel is de ned by a number of factors,including: customer isolation, dataprotection, automated provisioning, high

utilization of the underlying infrastructure,minimal investment risk, and fast ROI.The Brocade Vyatta vRouter provides theindustry’s only cloud-ready virtual machinethat bundles enterprise-class rewall, VPN,dynamic routing, Policy-Based Routing,cloud bridging, web ltering and more tosimplify isolation, data protection and traf cmanagement. Brocade Vyatta vRouters canbe provisioned on demand with pre-de nedsecurity pro les, plus users can injectcon guration data remotely, using third-party management tools or via the RESTfulAPI. As a cloud-ready virtual machine, theBrocade Vyatta vRouter removes the needfor hardware-based solutions allowingcloud providers to maximize utilization ofunderlying server hardware. Brocade alsooffers usage-based pricing options requiringvirtually no CAPEX investment risk.

VIRTUAL FIREWALLINGWithin the data center, physical rewalldevices are typically deployed to ensuresecurity and segmentation between

departments, application servers, databases,transaction systems, and other IT resources.These rewalls address internal securityneeds (HR databases, nancial systems)and compliance (PCI, HIPAA). In the cloud,however, tenants share underlyinginfrastructure (including server hardware,hypervisors and virtual switches, and othershared services). Thus, rewalls must notonly enable compliance and internallysegment sensitive business resources, butthey must ensure multitenant securitywithin a shared environment. Traditional

networking requires physical rewall gear;this means high cost, slow deployment,and in exibility in the cloud. On-demandnetworking from Brocade enables theinstant, exible deployment of rewallvirtual instances, anywhere in the cloudand with no capital investment.

SECURE REMOTE ACCESSCloud users access their applicationsand data over the Internet, requiringevery user’s connection to be encryptedfor security. Brocade Vyatta vRouters are

an exceptionally clean solution for thisrequirement. Within the cloud a new VPNvirtual machine can be started in moments,using a small fraction of an existing server’sresources. The high cost associated withacquiring and installing a unique physicaldevice is completely eliminated, as is therequirement for more space, power, andcooling. Organizations can deploy the samesoftware of virtual machine at any networkentry point, rapidly and with minimalexpense as a “secure cloud connector.”

CLOUD ON-BOARDING—SECURE L2 BRIDGINGAn often overlooked requirement in cloudcomputing is the need to enable organizationsto securely migrate data to the cloud fromthe enterprise data center. The BrocadeVyatta vRouter combines Layer 2 bridgingand VPN Tunneling functionality to delivera cloud bridging solution which allowsphysically separate networks to securelycommunicate with each other over theInternet as if they were on a single Ethernet

network. This capability extends cloudservice and data center reach, simpli esthe migration of applications and physical

KEY BENEFITS

• Platform Independence: The BrocadeVyatta vRouter allows for a singlevirtualized routing and security packageto be installed on VMware, Microsoft

Hyper-V, Citrix Xen/XenServer and RedHat KVM virtualization hypervisors.

• Elasticity/Scalability: The BrocadeVyatta vRouter removes the limitationsof box-bound network devices by offeringthe ability to scale performance, addusers, or add instances in seconds andminutes, not hours, days or weeks.

• Physical-to-Virtual Migration: Usingthe Brocade Vyatta vRouter enablessimple, straightforward migrationfrom physical networks to the virtual

environment without network redesign orcompromising existing security policiesand compliance.

• Auto-Provisioning: Brocade enablessimple button-click deployment andauto-con guration of complete networkconnectivity and security.

• Remote Management: The BrocadeVyatta vRouter is easily integrated with anythird party management, orchestration orprovisioning system to enable instant-oninfrastructure deployment, license and

billing management, as well as monitoringand reporting.

• Utility Licensing: VSPL licensingoffers pay-per-use billing options thatmap to common cloud computingconsumption models.
