Pluribus Networks Introduces VCFcenter
July 11 -- Pluribus Networks, the premier network fabric and analytics solutions provider, today announced the next phase of its award-winning network performance and monitoring solution, its VCFcenter platform and VCF application portfolio. VCFcenter is a single pane of glass that combines a big data approach to network visibility with web-scale analytics to offer a business-level network analytics solution. VCFcenter can be deployed in any new or existing campus, branch or data center at a dramatically lower price-point than any other network analytics offering currently on the market.
"The Modern Enterprise is rapidly adopting software-defined and hyperconverged compute and storage solutions due to the simplicity and value they offer the end user. They are also adding big data, mobility and even IoT applications to their IT strategies," Says Tom Burns, VP and GM of Networking Products at Dell, "The network itself and the business-level analytics which can be derived from it have once again become a critical success factor for our customers. Working with Pluribus enables Dell and its partners to offer an affordable and complementary business-management solution at the network layer."
VCFcenter is a true analytics platform that provides a wide range of foundational services, including secure user access, common user interface and shared data repository to all of the applications that are hosted within its framework. Deploying VCFcenter allows organizations to collect and analyze contextual information about business service application flows, and can scale into the billions of flows for web-scale applications. VCFcenter and its applications provides performance metrics associated with the use of any business service, from the packet, to the network flow or even the application level.
Existing network performance monitoring and analytics solutions have historically been complex to deploy and expensive. By addressing these two concerns relative to competitive offerings from Cisco, VMWare, Gigamon, NetScout and others, Pluribus is making VCFcenter accessible to all businesses of any size. Pluribus Networks VCFcenter provides the essential capabilities of an enterprise-class performance monitoring and analytics solution and can be used within any infrastructure from any vendor already in place. VCFcenter provides a business-level view and specific accountability for their network.
"Having application-aware visibility into your organization's network is crucial as the transformation of the data center continues across the industry," said Alessandro Barbieri, VP of product management at Pluribus Networks. "Network visibility has always been a luxury available only to large enterprises that could afford expensive, complex, big brand solutions. Most other solutions struggle to provide a higher-level business insight of the network and its workloads. With our VCFcenter and its new family of applications, we've democratized network performance monitoring and delivered the industry¹s only affordable, plug and play network agnostic monitoring and analytics solution for the masses."
