Pluribus Unified Cloud Networking solutions help cloud operators transform their networks to become as agile, highly available and simple to operate as the hyperscale public clouds, while moving to a distributed zero-trust security architecture to address increasing cybersecurity risks.
The Pluribus Unified Cloud Fabric unifies networks across multiple dimensions – switches and servers, overlay and underlay networks, private and public clouds – with built-in distributed security, comprehensive automation and pervasive visibility. And Pluribus solutions are open so they work across hardware platforms and with any workload or virtualization environment.
The result is dramatically reduced complexity and increased business velocity.
Capabilities
Unified Cloud Networking incorporates unmatched capabilities to solve the biggest networking challenges facing cloud operators as they transform.
Unified and Simplified Cloud Networks
Unified Cloud Networking eliminates fragmented networks with separate operating models, enables smooth migration toward the new distributed architecture, and lowers operational complexity and cost by delivering a consistent network operations model across underlay (physical) and overlay (virtual) networks, across switches and servers, and across heterogeneous, distributed clouds.Distributed Security Without Compromises
Security is fully distributed to the server via DPUs, including fine-grained microsegmentation and distributed stateful firewalls, with substantially better performance and lower total cost of ownership compared to hardware appliances or purely software-based solutions.
Pervasive Visibility
Built-in application-aware visibility and analytics for every application and every traffic flow improve proactive trouble detection and resolution, while eliminating the extra cost and incomplete coverage of separate monitoring networks.
SDN-enabled Automation
Industry-leading controllerless SDN automation enables network operations teams to manage highly-distributed networks with thousands of DPUs and other network endpoints, while avoiding the challenges of integrating 3rd party automation tools or building and maintaining do-it-yourself (DIY) scripts.
Open Networking
A single software operating system and fabric architecture. enabled on a wide range of open, disaggregated switching and DPU hardware, delivers freedom of choice, access to best-of-breed innovation, and independence to work with any workload or virtualization environment from bare metal to VMs to containers.
Distributed Networking and Security Without Compromises
Pluribus enables highly distributed server-based networking and security by extending the Netvisor ONE OS and the Unified Cloud Fabric from data center switches to server-based data processing units (DPUs) and creating a common fabric across servers with DPUs and other servers and devices without DPUs.
- Lower cost with finer-grained segmentation and no “tromboning” latency vs. appliance-based solutions.
- Lower cost with cleaner DevOps/NetOps separation and higher performance vs. software-based solutions.
