Oracle's New Ethernet Switches and Virtual Network Services Target Software-Defined Data Centers and Cloud - Seite 2

Oracle SDN Unifies InfiniBand and Ethernet Fabrics with New Virtual Network Services

Oracle also added new virtual network services to Oracle SDN, virtually eliminating the need for purpose-built network appliances which lack the scalability and flexibility needed in today's data centers. The new services allow customers to deploy security, load balancing and routing on-demand in a single virtual instance with the ability to configure and manage them in a single pane using Oracle Fabric Manager.

Oracle SDN dynamically connects any virtual machine to any resource and allows for quick deployment of multi-tenant environments via a private virtual interconnect, which delivers up to 80 Gb/sec server-to-server bandwidth to radically accelerate application performance. A single fabric connects up to 1,000 servers and 16,000 private virtual interconnects. With its new virtual network services capabilities, Oracle SDN now extends across the data center and is uniquely able to unify InfiniBand and Ethernet fabrics, allowing end-to-end provisioning of network infrastructure from a single management interface.

Oracle SDN supports both SPARC and x86 servers as well as the new Netra Modular System. Oracle SDN also powers engineered systems like Oracle's Virtual Compute Appliance.

"Oracle SDN has simplified and accelerated our data center infrastructure and allowed us the flexibility to support our customers and our growing business needs," said Shlome Seidenfeld, CIO and senior vice president, E-Commerce, B&H Photo Video. "Oracle's high speed, low-latency fabric has given us the performance and agility we needed to accommodate a multi-fold jump in customer traffic to our e-commerce business. We are very excited to see the unveiling of virtual network services as part of the Oracle SDN portfolio."

Oracle Executive Vice President John Fowler will host a webcast at 9 a.m. Pacific today to discuss Oracle networking and today's news in more detail. The networking technologies announced today are also on display at Mobile World Congress in Hall 3, Stand 3B20.
