Aria Networks announces iVNT: a software defined data centre product

BANGALORE, INDIA: Aria Networks announced the launch of Intelligent Virtual Network Topology (iVNT) for SDDCs, its capacity planning and orchestration software for software defined data centres (SDDC).

The iVNT software automates the design, build and operation of flexible and profitable data centres. The solution builds on Aria's experience of software defined networks (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) competencies.

iVNT models current data centre infrastructure, existing capacity loading and future capacity demand based on historic data to deliver optimisation of current assets across any combination of networking, computing and storage. This drives optimisation of the data centre delivering profitable service deployments.

Aria Networks' capacity planning tool ensures delivery of service level agreements and provide data centres with transparency over the costs of rolling out new services.

Real-time resource reallocation enables a faster service roll out and shorter downtimes for failure conditions. iVNT for SDDCs is independent of infrastructure technologies, enabling data centres to understand cost effective means to upgrade and extend to the wider area network.

Dr Jay Perrett, chief technology officer, Aria Networks said: "Large networks of data centres struggle to understand how much capacity and infrastructure they need to deploy and on what timescales. Aria Networks is now bringing the predictability, rigour and independence in capacity planning and management to software defined data centres."

iVNT for SDDCs builds on Aria Networks' deployment of iVNT for next generation networks (NGNs) across several tier one networks globally.

iVNT for SDDCs enables networks of data centres and providers of cloud and web services to optimise networks of data centres.

Dr Perrett continues: "Effective planning and management of capacity ensures networks of data centres are operating at the highest possible level of efficiency, reducing capital expenditure and optimising assets. This delivers an immediate improvement to the bottom line, ensures that network investment is always transparent and provides a level of control essential in this competitive service driven market."
