Multicloud Networking
Provider Pureport today announced major feature enhancements to its Multicloud
Fabricä platform which enables seamless orchestration of private
connectivity to the major cloud providers. Pureport's Multicloud Fabric
empowers businesses of all sizes to securely interconnect clouds, sites, and
on-premises facilities in minutes, without the need for additional physical
infrastructure.
Multicloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-site networks are often configured with
overlapping IP address ranges. To solve this common obstacle, Pureport's
new product enhancements include Cloud Grade NAT functionality, a feature that
intelligently detects and resolves overlapping IP address conflicts. By
mitigating these conflicts, organizations can avoid significant expense, and immediately
proceed with network interconnection.
"Enabling the new Cloud Grade NAT functionality for a connected network
is as simple as checking a box in our console, which is just one example of how
these features are truly evolving the way cloud networks are built," said
Doug Mittendorf, CTO of Pureport. "A great application of the Cloud Grade
NAT functionality is to support SaaS providers who offer private connectivity
to their customers, where the SaaS provider has no control over the customer
networks. With Cloud Grade NAT, this is no longer an issue."
In this latest release, Pureport's Console has been enhanced to make it even
easier to build and deploy multicloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-site networks
within minutes. The Console now offers a user-friendly, visual tool to manage
cloud networks, thereby reducing the administrative overhead and technical
expertise often required when deploying traditional networks.
"Cloud networking is becoming more and more challenging as
organizations attempt to marry multiple dispersed technologies, and we're on a
mission to remove the common obstacles organizations face today when creating
and managing cloud networks-specifically time to deployment, and excessive
expenses incurred in deployment and management," said Rich Lee, CEO of
Pureport. "This latest version of Pureport's platform addresses industry
feedback and makes cloud networking easier, faster, and more affordable."
Additional Key Feature Enhancements of Pureport's Multicloud Fabric
include:
- Layer 3 Networking - All Pureport gateways now support
BGP Peering to allow for dynamic exchange of routes with edge routers, as well
as between other gateways across an organization's private network. Cloud
connections support automatic failover between redundant gateways and allow all
edge routers to dynamically learn the routes to all interconnected subnets.
- Automated BGP Configuration - Pureport's Distributed Multicloud
Router simplifies network configuration and deployment by assigning network
subnets, discovering autonomous system numbers, and automatically configuring
BGP sessions on the administrator's behalf.
- High Availability - Every connection within a Pureport network
is highly available by default, where each connection has two gateway
containers across separate availability zones. Traffic will continue to flow,
even if a failure-such as a power outage, provider circuit loss, switch
failure, engine failure, etc.-occurs in one of the two zones.
- Power Seamless Integrations with Existing Orchestration and Automation
Systems - Pureport now exposes a simple REST API, allowing for DevOps automation of
multicloud and hybrid cloud networks using existing orchestration and
automation tools.
- Expanded Regions - Pureport's Multicloud Fabric is deployed to five key interconnection
facilities (San Jose, Seattle, Washington DC, Chicago, and Dallas) with a
full-mesh backbone between all locations. This allows for low-latency,
private connectivity between all public cloud regions in the US.
