Hong Kong Cyberport will deploy a virtual network solution to support its network-as-a-service within its recently launched community cloud CyberportCloud.
By selecting a virtual network solution Juniper's Networks Contrail, Cyberport customers can subscribe from a self-service portal and self-provision compute, storage, network assets and enjoy bandwidth on-demand.
The new deployment is expected to enable Cyberport to connect to physical networks with a virtual environment and provision underlying services, hence reduces the time, cost and risk for the users when configuring the network.
30 cloud apps developed and tested in PoC.
As of today, Cyberport's start-up community has developed over 30 cloud-based applications, which have been tested on Cyberport's pilot cloud platform as part of the Contrail proof-of-concept trial.
Cyberport will deploy a Juniper Networks MX80 3D Universal Edge Router for network bandwidth and IP provisioning. Cyberport will also leverage Contrail's open standard protocols to orchestrate on-the-fly configuration changes across its data center switching and routing infrastructure to establish virtual networks that dynamically support operations in the community cloud.
Juniper Networks' Contrail will also enable Cyberport to support the federation of its community cloud with public cloud environments, increasing the speed of business and service innovation for its start-up customers by making the network more dynamic, flexible and automated.
With Contrail, Cyberport will be able to create new services and monetization opportunities through increased automation and higher utilization of existing infrastructure without adding headcount to the team.
