CloudSeeds, Germany-based provider of flexible hosted and on-premises clouds is building a new infrastructure for its portfolio of turnkey Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) data center solutions, based on Juniper's Contrail Networking software-defined networking (SDN) solution.
Juniper said its technology will help enable a wide range of innovative, user-driven, flexible business services for CloudSeeds' service provider and enterprise customers across the spectrum of vertical industries. CloudSeeds will create fully hosted and managed cloud services that ensure data is kept within national boundaries, allowing it to fully comply with German law.
This service offering will include a fully-automated test lab environment, incorporating advanced analysis and trouble-shooting capabilities utilizing machine learning, advanced telemetry and big data analytics systems powered by Juniper AppFormix.
Alternatively, CloudSeeds will use Juniper technology to provide virtualized cloud services infrastructure on the customer's premises, which can be managed in-house by the customer, by CloudSeeds or as a hybrid model. These services will be secured using Juniper Networks vSRX Virtual Firewall and can be easily integrated with third-party solutions, such as load balancing capabilities.
Other Juniper products being deployed in CloudSeeds' new cloud service infrastructure include the MX80 3D Universal Edge Router, the SRX300 Services Gateway, the QFX5100 line of Switches and the EX4300 Ethernet Switch.
CloudSeeds is also planning a second phase of development for its state-of-the-art cloud services platform, which will incorporate Juniper's SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) solution.
Kevin Fibich, CEO, CloudSeeds
A key factor in our decision, besides the superior technical capabilities, was Juniper providing Contrail as Open Source -- we are convinced that this will drive large-scale market adoption for Juniper's SDN solutions in the future.
Manfred Opificius, VP Germany, Austria & Switzerland
With CloudSeeds starting to produce real virtualized network services for its customers in Germany, this will further help to drive quick market adoption for our SDN solutions and support innovation in the service provider and enterprise markets.
