One Convergence recently announced the availability of the Network Service Delivery Platform (NSD) to simplify and automate the delivery of a rich set of L3 to L7 network services in OpenStack cloud deployments.
As OpenStack gains traction, enterprises and service providers are increasingly faced with the challenge and complexity of rolling out advanced network services. One Convergence said that its policy-driven approach not only addresses the simplification and automation, but also the challenges of provisioning, deploying, configuring and operating a heterogeneous set of multi-vendor and open-source network services.
One Convergence NSD solution provides orchestration, lifecycle management, service assurance and visibility/monitoring for Layer 3 to Layer 7 network services for OpenStack Neutron, Cisco ACI and other SDN controllers / fabrics.
Prasad Vellanki, CEO of One Convergence
NSD not only fills the gap that simplifies and automates the deployment, but also provides great insight for operations at the services layer and the applications they front end.
Michael Cohen, Senior Director of Product Management, Cisco
The integration of One Convergence NSD with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure creates a complete solution for network services automation at scale in OpenStack.
