Infinetics provides low cost Ethernet fabric software for virtualization and cloud computing that runs on hypervisors and network switches. The fabric provides a 100% improvement in bandwidth and a 30% improvement in latency when compared to fat tree, Dragonfly, Jellyfish, Butterfly, and other state-of-the-art data center switching topologies.
Scalable
- Supports millions of servers
- No broadcast flooding; ARP requests intercepted at network edge
- Patent pending wiring methods offer practically unlimited expansion; switch radix no longer limits total flat network size
Multi-Tenant and Secure
- Complete dynamically controllable traffic isolation, “VLANs on steroids”
- Single network-wide coordinated firewall
- Traffic authorization controlled on ingress, not egress
Transparent
- Servers and hypervisors think they are running on a normal layer 2 Ethernet
- Supports multiple standard and custom overlay protocols: GRE, VxLAN, NVGRE, STT, LSP
- IPV4 and IPV6 fully supported
- Versions for Broadcom and Fulcrum chip sets, standard switch operating systems and OpenFlow
Virtualization and Cloud Computing Support
- VM-aware. Tracks VM motion and adjusts network traffic
- No new switches required; hypervisor version provides full Ethernet fabric capabilities
