Contrail Cloud Platform is an integrated turnkey
cloud management platform that is hardened from open source
technologies including OpenStack, OpenContrail, Ceph, and Puppet. It is a
foundational element of Juniper’s open cloud networking and Network
Functions Virtualization (NFV) solutions.
Contrail
Cloud Platform automates the orchestration of compute, storage, and
networking resources to create and scale open, intelligent, and reliable
OpenStack clouds that seamlessly merge and hybridize through highly
intelligent secure networks. These federated clouds enable you to create
elastic infrastructures that meet dynamic business needs with speed and
agility, increasing the availability and flexibility of the services
you deliver to end users while improving operational excellence.
Contrail Cloud Platform differentiates itself by providing:
Freedom of Choice
Avoids
expensive vendor lock-in with an open architecture that interoperates
with a wide range of compute, storage, and networking hardware,
virtualization schemes and cloud applications. You can start anywhere in
your network with the ability to grow and evolve over time, with
best-of-breed options to future-proof your infrastructure.
Intelligent Automation
Delivers
business agility, predictable operational excellence, and total cost of
ownership (TCO) optimization through the intelligent automation of
resource allocation and scaling, infrastructure configuration, and
application life cycle management. It does this by establishing an
application provisioning feedback loop in a policy-driven infrastructure
powered by data-driven decisions.
Always-On Reliability
Provides
high availability, robust security, and elastic scalability to both the
platform and cloud applications to deliver always-on reliability that
any cloud needs to carry mission-critical business applications and
data.
Features
OpenStack Release Coordination
Contrail Cloud Platform releases are aligned with OpenStack community releases to maintain API compatibility and strong community support.Automated Resource Provisioning
Automated resource provisioning for configuration and operation of compute, storage, and networking resources needed by cloud applications minimizes manual intervention and improves operational.Seamless Inter-Cloud Federation and Compatibility
Seamless inter-cloud federation and compatibility uses a set of proven networking standards and protocols that make it easy to extend a virtual network across multiple data centers and clouds, enabling workload mobility and workload placement flexibility.Anytime Availability
High availability and scalability to provide anytime availability of the cloud for operation, activation, and management of new and existing workloads.Rich Analytics
Rich and prescriptive analytics provide granular infrastructure telemetry information through very large-scale ingestion and querying of real-time and historical structured and unstructured data to optimize planning and service creation.Intelligent Automation
Contrail Cloud Platform automates resource allocation and scaling, infrastructure configuration, and application lifecycle management using an application provisioning feedback loop that minimizes manual intervention.
