TBD extends network virtualization soln

SAN JOSE, USA: TBDVirtualFabric-VMware Edition (VME) provides the missing pieces for companies to realise the full benefits of datacentre virtualization by unifying physical and virtual firewalls and network infrastructure.

Based on the industry's only proven network virtualization solution scaleable to over 30,000 virtual network endpoints, TBDVirtualFabric-VME was specifically designed to provide a virtual fabric of networking, security, and firewall capabilities to scale VMware environments beyond current limitations.

Server and storage virtualization have yielded tremendous benefits by reducing operational costs and hardware expenditure while significantly increasing business agility. However, virtualization projects directly result in the addition of virtual network devices that increase network complexity without giving datacentre managers the same flexible management options that server and storage virtualization provides.

Anurag Juneja, vice president Solutions, eGain, said: "Companies that have chosen not to implement network virtualization in their virtual datacentre are only realising part of the benefits. Server and storage virtualization has cut provisioning times from days or weeks to minutes, but manually provisioning correct VLAN and security configurations still takes days or weeks, delaying roll-outs and exposing servers to a new class of security risks. Network virtualization closes this gap and completes the virtual datacentre."

Thomas Ludwig, CEO of TBD Networks, said: "TBDVirtualFabric-VME naturally extends the benefits that VMware and VMotion create in current virtual environments. It delivers benefits of full datacentre virtualization within minutes of installation. TBDVirtualFabric-VME automatically discovers the entire physical and virtual network (including firewalls, switches and VLANs), and gives administrators an intuitive GUI to define network topologies, high-availability and security policies."

"The result is a virtualized environment that complies with enterprise standards and scales to large deployments without giving up on the flexibility of datacenter-wide VMotion," he added.
