Pluribus Networks, a leader in unified cloud networking, this week announced release 7 of its Linux-based Netvisor ONE network operating system (OS) and Adaptive Cloud Fabric SDN software.
Just off the heels of a $20M investment from Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, Pluribus continues to innovate with the seventh generation of its industry-leading cloud networking solutions.
High-bandwidth, distributed and containerized cloud native applications such as AI/ML, edge video processing, augmented reality and more, are moving beyond the realm of hyperscalers and into a wider range of enterprise, service providers and government institutions. As the broader market builds out distributed cloud infrastructure to scale these cloud-native applications, container-to-container connectivity becomes increasingly complex and difficult to troubleshoot.
With release 7 of its Netvisor ONE OS and Adaptive Cloud Fabric, Pluribus is directly integrating three new fabric capabilities that will empower NetOps teams to better troubleshoot, optimize and secure cloud data center workloads: FlowTracker, KubeTracker and a Virtualized Network Packet Broker. The new solutions provide hardware accelerated, wirespeed performance and, unlike other visibility and packet broker solutions, are highly cost-effective and simple to deploy because they do not require the deployment of additional expensive external hardware such as TAPS, TAP aggregators and packet brokers.
Cloud-native applications are also consuming more East-West bandwidth inside and across cloud data centers. With release 7, Pluribus is addressing this growing bandwidth by unveiling support for a high performance 400 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch from its partner, Dell Technologies: the Dell PowerSwitch Z9432F-ON.

With the dramatic rise in cloud native workloads, pervasive network visibility has become critical to delivering best-in-class customer experiences. Netvisor ONE release 7 brings the next level of visibility to cloud networks, without the expense of external monitoring hardware. NetOps teams finally have the tools they need to dramatically improve application availability, speed troubleshooting and hold confident conversations with their DevOps counterparts.
