to the possibility of application delivery network services of OpenStack automate the customer has Citrix with Red Hat worked integrate NetScaler with its OpenStack distribution.
Many organizations build private cloud platforms as a way to increase the agility of the IT infrastructure and to increase the efficiency of processes to support their mission-critical applications. In recent years, we have an increasing shift to the provision of OpenStack seen that an open source cloud management platform in production environments.
with Red Hat OpenStack By integrating Citrix NetScaler makes available to the many organizations that use them this popular OpenStack distribution
When organizations use OpenStack providing servers to automate storage and to link you are looking also to automate the deployment of L4 -. L7 services. To do this they need to create the integration of their devices with OpenStack in a manner that provides in infrastructure-as-a-service their network equipment vendors.
These challenges include scalability, flexibility, performance involved use challenges involved and flexibility / control over resource allocation. Citrix NetScaler built Control Center to facilitate as a way to integrate NetScaler with LBaaS Service in OpenStack. The Citrix LBaaS solution enables IT organizations the performance and availability service level guarantees (SLA), and redundancy and seamless elasticity whilst providing running quickly line of business applications in open bag.
Capacity pooling in all infrastructure NetScaler - Pooling of infrastructure is the first offer step infrastructure as a service and forms the underpinning of the economic benefits of the cloud model. NCC is designed capacity for all NetScaler appliances including physical (MPX), virtual (VPX) and multi-tenant (SDX) to bundle form factors efficiently and manage. Without platform limitations and compatibility with multiple NetScaler firmware versions, NCC based orchestration offers full investment protection for customers with existing NetScaler installed base
End-to-end automation of all NetScaler appliances -. NCC is designed to enable a true "as-a-Service" model, in which the complexity of the deployment and the use of ADC functions on a large pool of NetScaler appliances completely hidden in both the cloud provider as well the cloud tenant. NCC automation features include:
- Car instantiating new VPX appliances as Nova instances and SDX instances on demand, without manual intervention
- . automation of licensing started on new VPX instances.
- policy-based resource allocation to "right size" the car installed instances (both VPX and SDX instances.)
- Auto-provision of Admin partitions on MPX, SDX and VPX appliances
- data plane service insertion -. innate intelligence of the neutron and the ability to dynamically attach both VPX and SDX instances Neutron networks
- Service Level Assurance -. Cloud providers need the performance and availability SLAs to different cloud tenants, to ensure. NCC provides granular control over resource allocation policies ADC, the provider flexibility in creating differentiated SLAs for cloud tenant needs based on their application.
A simple and intuitive Workflow "service packages" to construct for different tenants levels simplifies the creation process SLA. Service packages can be defined using the following parameters and can be individually customized per tenant .:
- Device Type - The target device on which a logical NetScaler instance for the tenant is created
- insulation type -. Option between fully dedicated instances, common instances or individual Admin partition for each tenant
- to select resources hard walling - The amount of CPU, memory and SSL capacity for each tenant dedicated instance assign
- software version -. The specific version of NetScaler firmware for each dedicated instance of the tenant - enables version and upgrade independence between tenants [
- HA pair vs. single instance - (. Guarantees availability SLAs for tenants) choosing a single NetScaler instance or an HA pair for each tenant specified
integration with OpenStack KeyStone for a single sign-on authentication - NCC integrates natively with Keystone, OpenStack the authentication service and can retrieve related information directly from KeyStone tenants. This simplifies the tenant-specific policy management and avoids the expense and potential security problems relate explicitly OpenStack tenants credentials with NCC registration
Flexible placement algorithms -. Cloud providers need to have a control over the placement of new ADC policy fully automated environment a potentially large fleet of NetScalers from. NCC offers a wide range of options for placement algorithms, including the following:
- Simple round robin
- usage metrics (VIP number, average CPU, SSL, storage, throughput capacity) [1945011[
- Affinity -. Option separate device groups to create physical affinity to an availability zone, pod, data center or region to indicate
- External input - are plug-in mechanism for the placement algorithm provider placement rated algorithm and fed into NCC as input
Central visibility and reporting -. NCC a single pane of glass provides deep insights into the operations of the ADC services NetScaler is running in the OpenStack environment. Information about the status, statistics and health through a comprehensive set of metrics helps central visibility and monitoring, and basic troubleshooting. Granular be made pro-tenant usage data available for reporting and charge back
High Availability -. The NetScaler OpenStack LBaaS solution guarantees redundancy through automated delivery of NetScaler HA pairs on both virtual and physical devices. In addition, NCC itself is available as a fully redundant active standby HA pair with full state synchronization and fault tolerance
VPX on Nova -. The NetScaler virtual appliance is optimized for operation as Nova Example and new VPX instances can by simply calling Nova APIs heat started templates on-demand are automation suites such as OpenStack. The virtual appliance provides options for automatic bootstrapping the instance, including support for the OpenStack Config drive bootstrap information to obtain.
