 any custom cloud management interface through that northbound API. The next layer up is the control plane and that's basically where we leverage our relationship with Alcatel Lucent and we virtualize the service provider router, the SR platform and we virtualize the control plane and with that we get a lot of maturity as well as features in terms of routing and that really what gives us a scale. So as your data center host number increases you can add more controllers and federate them through MPBGP and whether you have one data center or multiple data centers you can federate these controllers including a provider edge router whether it's from another, not necessarily Alcatel Lucent router but any really router. The next layer up down is the virtualized router and switch and that basically is a virtual, an instance of open V-switch where we modify the user space, we don't modify the kernel space and then we install that on the hypervisor and that's where you get the distributed routing and switching functionality all the way at the endpoint, entry of the virtual machine into the network. We also support obviously containers, VMs as well as physical appliances through a gateway functionality whether it's the VSG or the virtual router switch gateway. The platform all three layers can be deployed over any infrastructure without any new investment and hardware and would work with private as well as public clouds. So as you've seen before so we like to think of it as a platform, an open platform where we enable you to adapt to connect sorry about that, whether you're a cloud management platform that you want to connect on top of the Nuage VSP or from a networking standpoint all down at the hypervisor whether it's a bare metal we support multiple hypervisors, KVMs, Zen, ESXi, whether it's containers, we're really open on all sides and that's kind of the value of the solution, it's not locked into one particular vendor. So we'll focus more about the topic for today and that's security challenges. So today's security has been top of mind for all of our customers despite heavy investment and security the number of breaches has continued to increase and that's because the attacks are becoming more sophisticated. Lack of visibility for east-west traffic is also causing issues with the ability to detect threats inside the data center and finally a lot of the firewall rules and ACLs are manually configured they become stale over time, it's difficult to adapt them to a cloud era and using current approaches to address these challenges has its own set of problems obviously within the perimeter you have a lot of high security products that are built for that purpose but it's difficult to assign those for east-west security problems. In terms of detection it's very expensive to really have IPS and IDS to monitor the increasing volume of traffic between east and west in the data center and then because of a lot of the manual processes and ACLs and firewall rules it's difficult to take action once a threat has been detected. So what Nuage delivers today is basically a secure multi-tenancy environment where you can actually over one physical network you can have multiple virtual networks. Within each virtual network you can segment them to logical constructs not necessarily VLAN based or IP based but logical grouping of workloads and those two features are available to your workload regardless whether they're containers, virtual machines or physical assets and they work on any hypervisor and with any CMS simultaneously and we also have some security features of ACL flow logging we have role-based controls and then you can have ACL sandwiches to provide more control and flexibility and I'll just dig deeper into the secure multi-tenancy and flexible segmentation so you can have for example over one physical network Cokes IT department as well as Pepsi's HR department so you can partition the network to two different users within each you can micro-segment it based on the application that you're deploying so you're not really locked into the way VLANs are configured or IP network you have full flexibility to how you partition the network and monitor and connect it. We also have tight integration with OpenStack in terms of OpenStack security groups. The next thing is visibility as I mentioned the three components they're designed so that we actually collect from a distributed endpoints all of the information whether it's ACL flow based statistics and report that back to syslog at the VSD which is the policy manager so that gives you visibility and what's happening in the network. Now you can actually because we're an open platform you can bring in any partner solution that would help you further analyze and we'll show examples with the demos later on how we leverage that feature set to help secure the data center so basically once you detect a violation to your ACL rule you can actually take action to quarantine a workload and that's kind of the next segment that I'll be talking about where you have an allow all policy group you have VMs once a VM gets infected you have an intrusion prevention system and detection system can monitor that, detect that activity and then trigger a call to VSD to move that workload automatically without user intervention to a more secure policy group. So just to summarize I mean the Nuage VSP provides a secure multi-tenancy for private public cloud without really a significant investment in infrastructure. It gives you the flexibility to segment the network as your needs evolve with a built-in layer for distributed virtual firewall and then a flexible service insertion that allows you to build the best of breed solution that meets your needs for above layer 4 protection. It's all policy based and we use a template based approach so you basically design ones and replicate and for compliance it's really critical because you can easily check and then validate and adjust accordingly you don't have to touch a thousand entries you just go modify your master and automatically get supplied across the network and then fast response with our part integration with partners where through our API partners can leverage that interface to program the network or reprogram it to take action quickly. And as I mentioned you know the solution has built-in security features but we also know that there are partners that are really excel at specific areas of security such as next-gen firewall, advanced malware, detection endpoint integrity and we have leveraged our partner ecosystem to add on to the VSP solution with our service insertion framework again whether it's physical or virtual for us it's the same. And we're also just announced a self-certification program where partners can certify their solutions on the Nuage VSP. We've added a collection of partners that helped us complement the security aspect of the solution since Palo Alto network, some 14-net for next-gen firewall, V-Armor for distributed virtual firewalls and counter-attack and Guardico for intrusion protection system as well as ADC solutions from Citrix and F5. We've updated our reference architecture which we announced last OpenStack summit in Vancouver with those partners and all of these partners their solution have been certified to work within an OpenStack environment and Nuage VSP. The integration with most of these partners has been done through our own VSPK which is open source and GitHub so to make it easy for partners to leverage the VSP solution you can go to github.com slash nuage network to see examples of some of these integrations with some of those security partners. We also practice what we preach so the partner program within Nuage has built a platform a demo on-demand platform and the certification where a partner can come and spin up an OpenStack and Nuage environment and deploy their solution and certify to work with Nuage. So all of this is available live demos at our booth. If you're interested in talking more about the integrations please come and visit us at the booth. Thank you very much.
