Dynamisez votre flexibilité et votre maîtrise grâce à la virtualisation

Virtualisez vos fonctions réseau et accentuez votre flexibilité.

Vue d'ensemble

Vous avez besoin d'une flexibilité et d'une maîtrise accrues lorsque vous effectuez des opérations comme l'ouverture de nouvelles succursales en ligne.

Auparavant, il était nécessaire d'acheter du matériel : des routeurs, des pare-feu, des accélérateurs, etc. Vous deviez ensuite faire appel à quelqu'un pour l'installation et la maintenance de ce matériel, ce qui impliquait du temps, de l'argent et des ressources.

Qu'en serait-il si vous pouviez évoluer vers un monde où ces fonctions seraient virtualisées et les mêmes tâches pourraient s'effectuer en quelques clics sur la souris de votre ordinateur ? 

Les fonctions réseaux virtualisées (VNF) apportent une bien plus grande flexibilité pour déployer, modifier et faire évoluer les réseaux, sans avoir à chaque fois à vous poser la question de l'achat, de l'installation et de la configuration de nouveaux matériels. Du fait que les VNF sont orientées logiciel, vous pouvez commencer à orchestrer et à automatiser la conception, le déploiement, la gestion et la sécurité du réseau soit vous-même, soit sous la forme d'un service géré. 

Comme avec n'importe quelle nouvelle technologie, mieux vaut éviter d'être impulsif, vous risqueriez de vous retrouver bloqué avec des systèmes et des fournisseurs qui peuvent ne pas être en mesure de répondre à vos nouvelles exigences. En travaillant avec nous, vous pouvez combiner les VNF de différents fournisseurs et nous pouvons les exploiter comme un seul système.

Overview

You need greater flexibility and control when doing things like bringing new branches online.

Traditionally, you needed to buy some hardware - routers, firewalls, accelerators, etc as well as someone to install and maintain it which takes time, money and resources.

But what if you could move to a world where these functions are virtualised and the same tasks can be done in just a few mouse clicks? 

Virtualised Network Functions (VNFs) gives you far more flexibility to deploy, modify and scale networks, without having to worry about buying, installing and configuring new hardware each time. And because VNFs are software-based, with the right network platform, you can begin to orchestrate and automate network design, deployment, management and security.

As with any new technology, you don’t want to race ahead on your own and potentially lock yourself into systems and providers that may not be able to support your needs going forward. By working with us, you can combine VNFs from different providers, with virtualised versions of your own important network functions and through our continually improving platform, we can operate them as a single system.

The time and cost of shipping, installing and maintaining network hardware are huge, so the virtualisation of these services is a revolutionary change for networks. Our Connect Services Platform lets you virtualise your own functions and add to leading solutions, such as Checkpoint, InfoVista and Riverbed. These are deployed on your edge device (our Connect Edge portfolio), and you can choose from a range of Cisco ENCS for your different site types.

You can have a solution which is a simple evolution of your existing Cisco estate, where you can create your own sandbox of VNFs and you can take advantage of our expertise and trials to make sure your solution is a success.
