Oracle's Releases Ethernet Switches And Virtual Network Services
The products are designed to target software-defined data centers and cloud.
Oracle has addressed two major networking requirements for cloud-enabled data centers with new high performance, low cost 10Gb/40Gb Ethernet switches and the addition of virtual network services to Oracle SDN. Engineered and integrated to enhance the Oracle stack, the new networking technologies provide the flexibility and scalability for both enterprise data centers and network function virtualization infrastructure.
"Cloud-enabled data centers are only as fast or as agile as their networking allows, which makes the convergence of software-defined networking and network services a next logical step in the evolution of the software-defined data center," said Raju Penumatcha, senior vice president, Netra Systems and Networking, Oracle. "Oracle's new Ethernet switches and virtual network services in Oracle SDN help clear the way for enterprises to deploy key network services faster and gain high performance at the lowest cost."
