Case Studies
Sample Customer case studies and success stories.
Use-Case
- SIFY CloudInfinit Portal delivers Virtual Private Data center (VPDC) solutions for their enterprise customers.
- Requirement to build highly scalable, flexible and converged infrastructure with low cost and complexity.
- Use Vmware for Customer VMs and Linux KVM for network services along with physical appliances.
Challenges
- Network Fabric built with L2, Vlans, limiting the customers/tenants scale to 4K
- Physical appliances to be procured and provisioned for scale in network services increasing the cost and complexity
- Compute, network and storage provisioning are isolated
- No common platform for networking across Vmware, KVM and Physical appliances
Solution & Results
- Network Fabric built on Leaf-Spine architecture with complete L3 and Vxlan overlays
- Open-contrail as SDN controller
- Converged architecture for compute, network and storage with openstack
- Highly resilient and Auto-scale VNFs are deployed per tenant for dynamic load
- SR-IOV, DPDK and NIC accelerators for performance
Use-Case
- Attivo Networks a cloud and data center security provider was building a product for Openstack Platform
- The solution had to be designed to suit all types of SDN controller integrations available for Openstack
- Requirement of a POC platform for showcasing the integration & educating their end customers
Challenges
- No supported development environment for various SDN controllers
- No Testbeds to perform scale and performance testing
- No Platform to demonstrate their product working in a production grade scenario
Solution & Results
- Engineering Sandboxes increased productivity of development and testing time lines for the product
- Solution Showcase enabled quick sales cycle by reducing product evaluation time lines
- White boxing of solution ensured Attivo to provide a lab platform for their end customers
Use-Case
- Large financial enterprise customer requires their IT staff reskilled on SDN/NFV technology domain.

- Hands-on SDN/NFV skills such that they can start contributing to the company’s SDN/NFV roadmap.
Challenges
- Point SDN/NFV courses that provide only basic learning over a 2-3 day period only that don’t translate to results..
- No Available Test beds to SDN/NFV learning
- Test bed cost and long setup times make it expensive and resource intensive for companies to invest.
- No program that can provide SDN/NFV project experience and skills targeted the company’s reference SDN/NFV platform
Solution & Results
- Full-service SDN/NFV Skills Transformation program which provides the core SDN/NFV knowledge and hands-on project skills needed to contribute to company SDN/NFV roadmap
- Classroom SDN/NFV Instruction and SDCloud hosted Self-Paced SDN/NFV eLearning
- SDCloud Engineering Sandboxes used to provide on-demand private SDN/NFV solution lab for all participants
