DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationVirtualization & CloudUse Case: Cloud Automation Impact on Service Rollout SpeedCompanies are moving in droves to cloud, with the expectation that it will bring them enhanced agility for service rollout, and ideally considerable time and cost savings as well. The majority focus on orchestration tools for accelerating compute and storage, but IP resource provisioning and deprovisioning is often left as an afterthought. Generally, IP addresses are needed for all service components to communicate, not only with each other, but also with their environment. As a result, a deployment may remain...
DDIIPAMVirtualization & CloudEnsuring Cloud IndependenceBy 2020 over 90% of companies will be utilizing cloud services offered by multiple providers, using various orchestration tools. To ensure they retain full mobility and flexibility, businesses need to be wary of components which could potentially cause cloud lock-in. The first necessity is therefore to avoid relying only on a single technology or orchestrators which are “cloud-dependent”. And as operational efficiency in multi-cloud environments is dependent on accurate synchronization of IP resources across clouds, the second necessity should be...
